A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is a foreign-owned limited liability company that enables investors to operate legally in Indonesia under full or partial foreign ownership.<\/p>\n

Registered through the Online Single Submission (OSS) platform and supervised by the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), a PT PMA provides foreign investors equal legal rights as local companies. It allows business activities such as land leasing, property ownership, participation in government tenders, and sponsorship of work and stay permits for expatriate staff.<\/p>\n

Establishing a PT PMA requires a minimum investment plan of IDR 10 billion and compliance with specific shareholder, capital, and licensing requirements.<\/p>\n

This guide explains the PT PMA registration process, requirements, capital structure, and procedures to help foreign investors successfully start a company in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Before starting the registration process, foreign investors must meet several legal and structural requirements set by the Indonesian government.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Minimum Capital Requirement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The minimum investment plan for establishing a PT PMA<\/a> is IDR 10 billion (approximately USD 700,000).<\/p>\n
