Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 05100
§ 01
Foreign investment rules
Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
Status · open
Open under BUPM (subject to sector rules)
KBLI 05100 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedules under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). A foreign investor can incorporate a PT PMA under this code, but sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo, BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) almost always add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your specific business model.
This KBLI is open under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) — it's not on any restricted, closed, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedule. That's the BUPM verdict only, not a complete sector-readiness check: sector regulators almost always add requirements on top (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy). BKPM's default capital floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI, but sector regulators frequently set higher minimums for specific activities. The practical answer depends on your business model — confirm with our team before committing capital.
Sector capital requirement
Higher minimum capital required by ESDM
Coal mining (IUP/IUPK holders)
Required paid-up
Activity-specific (IDR 100b+ typical for IUPK)
Regulation
UU 3/2020 + PP 96/2021 (Mining and Mineral Sector)
BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion commitment per KBLI. The figure above is the binding override for this activity — the higher number wins.

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance.

This KBLI carries 1 candidate permit across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.

1 permitBAPETEN (Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency). Applies whenever ionizing radiation sources are involved — radiology, radiotherapy, industrial NDT, certain manufacturing inputs. BAPETEN licenses the operator, the facility, and each radiation source separately.
