What this means for foreign investors
An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.
You can't operate this activity in Indonesia — neither as a foreigner nor a local.
This KBLI is on Pres. Reg. 10/2021's list of closed business activities. The activity is prohibited entirely; even Indonesian-owned entities cannot register for it. There is no PMA, joint-venture, or partnership structure that unlocks this code. Your option is to choose a different activity.
Pathways that work
Pivot to an adjacent open KBLI
Most closed activities have neighbours that solve a similar customer problem and accept full PMA. We help you map the closest open code that still fits your commercial thesis.
Off-take / commercial partnership
You can buy from, sell to, or service an Indonesian-owned operator without taking equity. We draft and structure the commercial framework so it stands up to scrutiny.
PMA-viable codes in the same area
These siblings are usable by a foreign-owned PT PMA — they have a Large-scale licensing matrix and aren't on a restricted list. Each has its own context badge so you can pick by trade-off.
Restricted KBLIs need a tailored structure. Book a call and we'll map the right entity, partner, and licensing path for your specific business.

What's required to operate
NIB
Preparation only — additional permit needed below
Operating License (Izin)
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. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation.
