Understanding The Entity

What Is a PT PMA and What Can It Do in Indonesia?

PT PMA stands for Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing, an Indonesian limited liability company with foreign investment. It gives eligible foreign shareholders a local company through which approved business activities can be carried out. The entity can enter commercial contracts, invoice customers, employ staff, and hold business assets within its authorised activities.

Registration is one milestone, not permission to perform every activity immediately. Shareholding, KBLI selection, investment planning, company address, and risk-based licences determine the follow-on steps for banking, tax administration, employment, and immigration. Those decisions should be settled before the deed and OSS profile are finalised.

Is a PT PMA Right for You?

When Do You Need a PT PMA in Indonesia?

You generally need a PT PMA when your Indonesian business will have foreign shareholders and conduct revenue-generating activities. It is commonly used to sign local commercial contracts, invoice customers, hire employees, hold business assets, and apply for the licences required by its approved KBLI activities.

Your Company Has Foreign Shareholders

A PT PMA is the standard Indonesian company structure for eligible business activities involving foreign ownership.

You Will Earn Revenue in Indonesia

The company can enter commercial contracts and invoice customers for activities covered by its deed, KBLI, and business licences.

You Need an Indonesian Operating Entity

A PT PMA can maintain an Indonesian business address, corporate records, tax registrations, and operational licences.

You Plan to Hire a Local Team

The company can employ Indonesian staff and sponsor eligible foreign personnel after completing the applicable manpower and immigration requirements.

Your Business Requires Sector Licences

Activities such as manufacturing, distribution, construction, healthcare, or regulated services may require an Indonesian entity and approvals beyond the NIB.

You Are Building a Long-Term Presence

A PT PMA is generally more suitable than a representative office when the business intends to generate revenue and operate commercially in Indonesia.

A PT PMA may not be the appropriate structure if the Indonesian presence will only conduct market research, liaison, or other non-revenue activities. Foreign ownership eligibility must also be checked for every selected KBLI before the company structure is confirmed.

Not sure which structure fits your activities? Compare PT PMA, domestic PT, and representative office options.

Pre-Filing Decisions

PT PMA Company Establishment Requirements

The deed and OSS profile must match the business that will operate. We complete these checks before asking the notary to draft the company documents.

1

KBLI 2025

We map each product, service, and revenue line to the current five-digit classification in the OSS KBLI system.

2

Foreign Ownership

Check the ownership limit and conditions for every selected activity before setting the cap table.

3

Capital and Control

Plan at least two shareholders, at least one director and one commissioner, share percentages, authorised capital, and paid-up capital.

4

Address and Location

Use premises that meet zoning, building, activity, and local evidence requirements for the chosen KBLI.

Amount What It Means Current Planning Point Paid to InvestinAsia?
Service Fee The professional fee for the work listed in the selected package and written scope. Use the published package prices above as the starting point. Yes, according to the signed proposal and invoice.
Paid-Up Capital Share capital placed and paid into the PT PMA by its shareholders. The current general threshold is IDR 2.5 billion per PT PMA, subject to the applicable rule and legal review. No. It belongs to the company, subject to the rules on placement and use.
Investment Plan The planned investment value recorded for the business project. It is generally more than IDR 10 billion per five-digit KBLI per project location, excluding land and buildings, with sector exceptions. No. It is an investment commitment, not a professional fee.
Capital Review Required: Ministry of Investment and BKPM Regulation No. 5 of 2025 changed the general paid-up capital threshold and contains rules on the holding and use of paid-up capital. We confirm the treatment for the proposed structure before signing the deed.

Registration Workflow

How PT PMA Incorporation Works

The incorporation sequence creates the company and its core registrations. Operational licences may continue after NIB issuance.

1

Scope the Activity

We document the products, services, revenue flows, locations, foreign ownership, and licences needed to operate.

2

Confirm the Structure

We confirm the company name, shareholders, management, address, and capital before drafting begins.

3

Prepare the Deed

We coordinate the public notary's deed of establishment and articles of association for signing.

4

Obtain Ministry Approval

We coordinate submission through the Ministry of Law system to establish the PT as a legal entity.

5

Register NPWP and NIB

We register the company's tax and OSS data for its NPWP, NIB, project, and business activities.

6

Complete Operational Licences

We map the next approvals to the KBLI risk level and sector rules, including verified standards, licences, or PB UMKU where required.

NIB Is Not a Universal Operating Licence. Under Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025, the approvals required after NIB depend on the risk level and sector.

Document Checklist

Documents for PT PMA Company Registration

The final list depends on the shareholder type, document country, signing method, notary, bank, and sector.

Individual Shareholders

  • Clear passport copies for foreign individuals
  • Indonesian ID and tax number where applicable
  • Residential address and contact details
  • Proposed company names and business description
  • Shareholding, director, commissioner, and capital details
  • Registered address and planned project locations

Corporate Shareholders

  • Certificate of incorporation or registry extract
  • Current constitutional documents
  • Director and shareholder register or equivalent evidence
  • Resolution approving the Indonesian investment
  • Authorised signatory and beneficial owner information
  • Apostille, legalisation, and sworn translation where required

Realistic Timing

Company Registration and Operational Readiness Use Different Timelines

A company can exist before every operational approval is complete. The written scope should define both milestones.

Core Incorporation

The published estimate for the IDR 23 million and IDR 35 million packages is 10 working days after deed signing for the listed scope, assuming approved company data and complete documents.

Operational Readiness

Bank onboarding, capital placement, premises, Standard Certificate verification, sector licences, product registrations, expatriate work authorisation, and other post-NIB steps may extend the project.

Operational Insight

What Usually Delays a PT PMA Setup?

In our setup work, avoidable delays usually begin before filing. We check these points before the deed, OSS data, and operational licence sequence are locked.

KBLI and Revenue Do Not Match

The selected activity must describe how the company will actually earn revenue, not only the wording preferred for the company profile.

Ownership Rules Are Checked Too Late

A restricted or conditional activity can require a different cap table, activity scope, or licensing plan.

Overseas Documents Are Not Ready

Corporate shareholder documents may require current registry evidence, resolutions, apostille or legalisation, and sworn translation.

The Address Does Not Fit the Activity

A virtual office may suit some activities, while a factory, warehouse, clinic, shop, or hospitality operation needs suitable physical premises.

Company Data Is Inconsistent

Name spelling, addresses, authorised signatories, share data, and beneficial ownership details should match across notary, tax, OSS, and bank documents.

NIB Is Treated as the Final Approval

Medium- and high-risk activities may still need a verified Standard Certificate, sector licence, PB UMKU, product approval, or premises evidence.

Common Questions

PT PMA Company Registration Questions

These answers state the general position. The KBLI, sector, ownership, location, and shareholder documents can change the result.

A PT PMA is an Indonesian limited liability company with foreign shareholding. It can conduct commercial activities, hire staff, invoice customers, hold eligible licences, and own business assets within the activities stated in its deed and OSS profile.

Many business activities permit 100 percent foreign ownership. The answer must be checked against each five-digit KBLI and any sector rule. Some activities remain capped, conditional, or closed to foreign investment.

There is no general rule that every PT PMA needs an Indonesian shareholder. A local shareholder is required only when an applicable business activity or sector rule limits foreign ownership. Nominee arrangements should not replace a compliant ownership structure.

The current general paid-up capital threshold is IDR 2.5 billion per PT PMA under Ministry of Investment and BKPM Regulation No. 5 of 2025. The investment plan is separate and is generally more than IDR 10 billion per five-digit KBLI per project location, excluding land and buildings, with exceptions. The final treatment should be reviewed for the company and sector.

The published estimate for the IDR 23 million and IDR 35 million packages is 10 working days after deed signing for the listed incorporation scope, assuming complete documents and approved company data. Bank onboarding, verified standards, sector licences, premises, and immigration work follow separate timelines.

Many preparation and filing steps can be coordinated remotely. The notary, document origin, bank KYC, immigration process, or a specific authority may still require original documents, legalisation, a local signing method, or personal attendance.

It depends on the KBLI risk level and sector. Low-risk activities may rely on the NIB as the main business licence output. Medium-risk or high-risk activities can require a Standard Certificate, verification, licence, PB UMKU, or another approval before operations start.

A PT needs at least one director and one commissioner. There is no universal local-director rule for every PT PMA. Nationality, residence, tax, banking, immigration, sector, and practical signing requirements should be reviewed before management is appointed.

Some activities can use an eligible virtual office address. Suitability depends on the KBLI, business risk, zoning, local rules, and whether the operation needs a physical facility such as a shop, warehouse, clinic, factory, or hospitality premises.
