Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 32111
§ 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 with carve-outs
Open to foreign investment, with carve-outs
KBLI 32111 is open as a class — a 100% foreign-owned PT PMA can be incorporated under this code — but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out 1 specific sub-activity that are off-limits or restricted for foreign capital. The rest of the activity remains open to PMA. The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.

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.

Auxiliary permits (PB UMKU)
These are CANDIDATE permits the OSS dataset attaches to this KBLI. Each one only becomes mandatory when your operation actually performs the activity it governs (e.g. distributing pharmaceuticals, handling food, operating radiology equipment). Many businesses operating under this code need none of them; some need a handful. This KBLI carries 4 candidate permits across 1 regulator. Emerhub maps your actual operating scope to the exact subset, files them, and tracks renewals.
