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.

This activity is allocated to Indonesian SMEs and cooperatives.

PT PMA is not permitted for this KBLI. The activity is reserved for cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). The pathway for foreign investors is to operate a different value-chain step (e.g. processing or distribution rather than the reserved primary activity), or to support local SMEs as an off-taker / brand owner / financier.

Pathways that work

Move to a different value-chain step
The cleanest path: operate a related but open KBLI. For example, foreign investors blocked from primary commodity production frequently succeed with the processing, distribution, branding, or export-trade codes upstream or downstream of the restricted activity.
Special Economic Zone (KEK) or Free Trade Zone (Batam)
Several restricted codes have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (Sanur Health, Lido, Mandalika) or the Batam Free Trade Zone — manufacturing, logistics, and IT services especially. The IUK regime under BP Batam relaxes ownership rules selectively in exchange for export orientation. We assess whether your operation can benefit. See the for the requirements.
SME partnership / off-take model
You can't hold the SME licence yourself, but you can build a contractual ecosystem with cooperatives or UMKM partners — supplying them with capital, IP, brand, distribution, or technology. We structure these arrangements so they stay defensible and commercially aligned.

PMA-viable codes in adjacent industries

These KBLIs solve a related business problem and are open to foreign ownership. None are a perfect substitute for the activity above — but they often unlock 80% of the commercial outcome. Talk to us about which fits your plan.

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

Standard Certificate (Verified)

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must obtain a Sertifikat Standar that has been verified by the competent ministry. The verification step typically requires a site or document inspection. Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.

§ 05

Auxiliary permits (PB UMKU)

PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 3 candidate permits across 2 regulators; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.

Trade & Metrology

2 permits

Ministry of Trade. Applies to wholesale and retail commerce, fuel stations, online marketplaces, and warehouses. Distributor / agent registration (STP) is the most common; importers, alcoholic-beverage sellers, and franchisors carry their own permits on top.

Health & Medical Devices

1 permit

Ministry of Health (Kemenkes / BPOM). Applies to manufacturing, importing, distributing, or operating medical devices, hospitals, clinics, diagnostic services, and pharmacies. Most device permits are class-based (Class A/B/C/D); facility permits attach to the specific site.

Common questions about KBLI 55110

What is KBLI 55110?

KBLI 55110 (Hotel Bintang) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for star hotels. It sits within the Accommodation and Food Service Activities category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 55110?

Limited — KBLI 55110 is allocated to cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). Foreign investment via PT PMA is not permitted for the listed sub-activities.

What is the risk level of KBLI 55110?

At Large business scale (where PT PMA must register), KBLI 55110 is rated Medium-High.

What licenses does KBLI 55110 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 55110 is not viable for foreign-owned entities (closed, SME-reserved, domestic-only, or no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS RBA, depending on the case). Foreign investors should pick a related KBLI that is open at the Large scale.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 55110?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 55110 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so neither BKPM Reg. 5/2025's paid-up minimum nor any sector-specific capital floor enters the picture. The structural barrier comes first.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 55110?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 55110 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so the 4-8 week PT PMA setup timeline doesn't apply. Move to a sibling code with a Large-scale matrix or a different structure.

Is KBLI 55110 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 55110 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 55110 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 55110 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so OSS doesn't designate a PMA issuing authority. Smaller-scale registrations (Micro / Small) for Indonesian operators are typically issued at the Regency / City level.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 55110 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 55110 carries 3 PB UMKU permits across 2 sector regulators: Trade & Metrology (2), Health & Medical Devices (1). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.
