For foreign investors

Key facts for KBLI 19211

The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.

  • 100% foreign ownership permitted via PT PMA. KBLI 19211 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules under Pres. Reg. 10/2021.

  • Needs ESDM approval on top of OSS KBLI 19211 requires sector approval from ESDM, so the BKPM default (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up) is just the starting point — actual capital and licensing terms depend on the licence category and are set by the regulator. We confirm the exact figures before incorporation.

  • High-risk activity — requires NIB + full Operating License (Izin) to operate commercially. NIB alone enables only the preparation stage; an Operating License must be obtained before invoicing or production starts.

  • Statutory licensing turnaround: 15 days once we submit the application — on top of the 2–3 weeks for PT PMA incorporation. We coordinate the full sequence end-to-end.

  • Issuing authority for PMA: Minister/Head of Agency — this KBLI is routed centrally rather than to provincial / regency level.

  • Ongoing reporting: quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Report) to BKPM plus 12 sector-specific obligations. We file these on your behalf as part of monthly compliance — you stay out of the OSS portal entirely.

§ 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

KBLI 19211 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.

How we handle your KBLI 19211 setup

Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.

  1. 1

    Confirm the optimal structure for your business

    2–3 business days

    We confirm KBLI 19211 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.

    What we need from you
    • Founders' passport copies and proof of residence
    • Intended share split and board composition
  2. 2

    Incorporate your PT PMA

    7–10 business days

    We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.

    What we need from you
    • Powers of attorney (we prepare; you sign and notarize)
    • Director / commissioner appointment letters
    • Initial capital deposit confirmation
  3. 3

    We obtain your NIB

    1–2 business days

    We file the OSS application with KBLI 19211 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.

    What we need from you
    • Office address (virtual office acceptable for many KBLIs; we can arrange one)
  4. 4

    Secure your full Operating License (Izin)

    15+ business days

    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. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 15 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.

    What we need from you
    • Technical documentation specific to your operation
    • Appointment of a Penanggung Jawab Teknis (PJT — technical responsible person)
  5. 5

    Hand-off to ongoing compliance

    Ongoing

    Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.

§ 03

What is KBLI 19211?

A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.

KBLI 19211 (Industri Bahan Bakar Dari Pemurnian Dan Pengilangan Minyak Bumi) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for petroleum refining and processing industry. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Petroleum Refining Fuel and Lubricating Oil Industry (major group 19) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

This group includes the refining and processing of crude oil that produces fuels such as Avgas, Jet Fuel, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel Oil, Fuel Oil, Solvents, including LPG from crude oil refining.

Who needs KBLI 19211?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in petroleum refining and processing industry as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.

Why does the code matter?

Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.

§ 04

Manufacturing-specific guidance

Sector context that applies to KBLI 19211 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.

Lead regulator
Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin)
  • ·Industry data reporting via SIINas every 6 months.
  • ·BPOM registration required for any food, drug, cosmetic, or medical device produced.
  • ·Halal certification mandatory for most consumable products.
§ 05

Under the upcoming KBLI 2025

Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.

Reorganised in KBLI 2025

KBLI 19211 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.

  • ·For current operations, KBLI 19211 remains valid — OSS still uses KBLI 2020 for all business registrations.
  • ·The KBLI 2025 successor codes are listed in the official BPS transition document below; check for the activity-specific mapping when planning future structures.
  • ·Once OSS announces the KBLI 2025 cutover, existing entities will need to update their primary KBLI to the relevant successor — typically straightforward.

When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.

§ 02

Risk level by business scale

Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.

What does each risk level require to operate? ›
Low. NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. Issued instantly via OSS.
Medium-Low. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a self-declared Sertifikat Standar (Standard Certificate). Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.
Medium-High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a Sertifikat Standar verified by the competent ministry — typically with a site or document inspection.
High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after substantive review.
Beyond OSS, sector-specific permits commonly apply on top — e.g. SBU for construction, BPOM for food/cosmetics/medicines, OJK for financial services, IUP for mining, PSE for digital services. See the industry-specific guidance below for what applies to this KBLI.

Licensing requirements in detail

Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
