  • A combination of foreign and Indonesian shareholders

At least one shareholder can be foreign.

Is PT PMA the only legal business structure for foreigners?+

  • Foreign Individuals: Individuals who hold citizenship from other countries are eligible to invest.

  • Combinations: Investment can involve a combination of foreign individuals and foreign legal entities, or a partnership between a foreign entity and a local entity (which may result in a different ownership or legal structure)

Ownership rules follow Indonesia’s Positive Investment List.

How many shareholders are required?+

To establish a PT PMA (Foreign Investment Company) in Indonesia, a minimum of two shareholders is required.

Indonesia requires:

  • Minimum investment plan: IDR 10 billion

We guide you on compliant capital structuring.

What business activities can a PT PMA do?+

A PT PMA can operate only within approved KBLI business codes listed in its license.

Yes. You can:

Foreign directors usually require a work permit (KITAS).

How many directors and commissioners are required?+

Minimum:

  • 1 Director
  • 1 Commissioner

They can be the same nationality or different.
