Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 64992
§ 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 · No foreign ownership
Reserved for small Indonesian operators
KBLI 64992 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses — Indonesia's licensing rules only define micro and small business sizes for it. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so even though this code isn't on the official "closed" list, foreign ownership isn't possible in practice. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or set up a partnership with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.
This activity is reserved for small Indonesian operators — think warungs, food stalls, smallholders, individual practitioners. KBLI 64992 only has licensing rules defined for micro and small business sizes. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so this code isn't available to them even though it's not on the "closed" list. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or ask us about partnering with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.

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.
Indonesian-owned operating company + commercial agreement
A 100% Indonesian-owned operating entity can hold the restricted licence while you contract with it commercially. We structure these arrangements deliberately — without nominee shareholding, which is unenforceable and increasingly scrutinised.
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.
