PT. PMA Foreign Investment Company

PMA & PT Local

What is a Foreign Company in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, a company is classified as a foreign entity if any portion of its shares—even just 1%—is owned by a foreign investor. Such companies operate under the PT PMA (Foreign Investment Company) license, allowing foreign direct investment in the country.

If you only plan to represent your foreign business in Indonesia without generating income locally, you can opt to set up a Representative Office instead.

Restrictions for Foreign Companies

Indonesian law regulates the level of foreign ownership allowed in businesses, which depends on the company’s activity. For some industries, 100% foreign ownership is permitted, while others may have stricter limits (e.g., 10%). These rules are outlined in the Negative Investment List (DNI).

Benefits of Establishing a PT PMA

Starting your business in Indonesia comes with several key advantages:

Legal Compliance: Operate under a recognized business structure in Indonesia.
Financial Operations: Open a local bank account to manage transactions easily.
Investor Visa Eligibility: Secure an Investor KITAS to live and work in Indonesia.
