Establishing a PT PMA in Indonesia no longer requires you to be physically present. With the right partner, you can complete the entire process—from company name reservation to license issuance—remotely. InvestinAsia’s PMA company registration service simplifies every stage of the process, ensuring foreign investors can incorporate their business smoothly, transparently, and without bureaucratic hurdles.
Step 1: Planning and Document Preparation
The journey begins with clear planning. Define your business activities and select appropriate KBLI codes. Prepare essential documents such as shareholder passports, director details, commissioner information, and proposed company names. A registered address—physical or virtual—is also required.
Step 2: Company Name Reservation
Through the OSS system, your company name is checked and reserved. InvestinAsia ensures compliance with Indonesia’s naming rules and prevents delays from rejected applications.

Step 3: Drafting the Deed of Establishment
A licensed notary prepares the Deed of Establishment (Akta Notaris), which details your shareholding, capital structure, and business scope. Once signed and notarized, this deed forms the legal backbone of your PT PMA.

Step 4: Government Approval
The notarized deed is submitted to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. Upon approval, you receive a Ministerial Decree (SK Menkumham), officially recognizing your company as a legal entity.
Step 5: Tax and Licensing Registration
Your PT PMA must register with the tax office to obtain an NPWP. Simultaneously, InvestinAsia secures your Business Identification Number (NIB) through the OSS platform. This number serves as a business license, import license, and customs ID, streamlining compliance obligations.
