KBLI 43214: Installation Services for Maritime, River… · Open to PMA

§ 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 43214 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.

Common questions about KBLI 43214

What is KBLI 43214?

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 43214?

KBLI 43214 is open to PT PMA under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) — it is not on the closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedules. That is the BUPM verdict only: sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy) commonly add licensing and capital requirements on top depending on the specific business model. Confirm the practical setup with our team before committing capital.

What licenses does KBLI 43214 require?

NIB + verified Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar Terverifikasi). KBLI 43214 is Medium-High risk at Large scale, so NIB is issued first, but the Standard Certificate becomes effective only after the issuing ministry verifies compliance (typically through a document review or site audit). 2 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 43214?

BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered (realised over time and reported quarterly via LKPM). Sector regulators (OJK for financial, ESDM for energy, Kemenkes for healthcare, BPOM for food and cosmetics, Permendag for retail, Kominfo for digital platforms) often set higher minimums for specific activities — the binding figure depends on what you actually plan to operate, so confirm with our team before committing capital.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 43214?

PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 43214 specifically takes 15 days at the Large business scale.

Is KBLI 43214 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Which authority issues the KBLI 43214 license?

Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 43214 need?
