Sourced from OSS Indonesia
Limited regulatory data

OSS has not published a regulatory profile for KBLI 71109 yet.

This is a new KBLI 2025 code. Indonesia's OSS portal still operates on KBLI 2020 and there is no automatic mapping to a 2020 predecessor for this activity. The risk level, permits, and obligations have not been finalised in the public OSS database.

The absence of data is not evidence the activity is unregulated.

Many of Indonesia's most heavily regulated activities — including construction of military facilities, airports, defence equipment, banking infrastructure, hospital facilities, and critical utilities — are subject to substantial extra-OSS licensing through sector ministries (Defence, Transport, Health, OJK, Bank Indonesia). The OSS Standard Certificate or Operating License is just one layer.

What likely applies even without OSS data
  • ·NIB registration (we obtain through OSS — universal, instant)
  • ·Sector-specific operating license — see industry guidance below
  • ·PT PMA paid-up capital IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) at incorporation, plus IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time (BKPM Reg. 5/2025)
  • ·Quarterly LKPM reporting to BKPM (we file on your behalf as part of compliance)
We confirm the sector-specific permits and current PMA eligibility with BKPM and the relevant ministries before you incorporate, so KBLI 71109 is set up correctly from day one.

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 · Unverified

Foreign investment status not yet verifiable

Indonesia's BUPM Investment Business Fields list (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) is published against KBLI 2020 codes. KBLI 71109 is a new KBLI 2025 entry without a recorded 2020 predecessor, so the absence of this code from the closed / conditional / SME-reserved / partnership lists does not prove the activity is open to foreign investment. We can secure written confirmation from BKPM and the sector ministry on your specific business plan before any incorporation step.

Indonesia's BUPM Investment Business Fields list (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) was published against KBLI 2020 codes. Because KBLI 71109 is a brand-new KBLI 2025 entry without a recorded 2020 predecessor, we cannot confirm whether this activity is open, restricted, or reserved. Talk to us before incorporating — we'll get a written confirmation of eligibility from BKPM and the sector ministry.
§ 03

What is KBLI 71109?

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

KBLI 71109 (AKTIVITAS ENJINERING DAN KONSULTANSI TEKNIS TERKAIT) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for engineering activities and related technical consultancy. It sits within Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities under the subgroup Architectural and Engineering Activities, and Consultancy in the official KBLI 2025 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

Engineering consultancy and design activities, which implement the laws of physics and engineering principles in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes, and systems, such as: | machinery, and industrial processes; | projects involving civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, traffic engineering; | engineering advisory and consultancy services; | residential and non-residential building construction engineering services; | civil engineering services for water resources; | engineering services for mechanical works in buildings, engineering services for sports facilities; | environmental engineering consultancy services; | consultancy services related to the construction of traffic control systems; | engineering services for the construction of power transmission networks, substations, and distribution of electricity, | engineering services for industrial processes, production and production facilities, other industrial process engineering services; | expansion and realization of projects related to electrical and electronic engineering, mining engineering, chemical engineering, mechanics, industrial engineering and systems engineering and security engineering; | water resources management projects; | project management activities and field investigation services related to construction; Project development activities using air conditioning (AC), cooling, cleanliness and pollution control techniques, acoustic techniques and others; | geophysical, geological, geochemical, and seismic or earthquake survey activities including prospectus creation services and geological and geophysical interpretation services in the construction sector; | geodetic survey activities including boundary and land survey activities, hydrological surveys; | surveys of conditions above and below the ground surface; | spatial information and cartography activities; | mapping activities and map-making services. This group also includes | civil engineering services for transportation engineering; | technical facilitation services for public infrastructure and facilities in the construction sector.

Who needs KBLI 71109?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in engineering activities and related technical consultancy 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

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.

New code introduced in KBLI 2025

KBLI 71109 did not exist in the previous (KBLI 2020) taxonomy — it was added in the 2025 release to capture an activity that was previously bundled with another code or had no dedicated classification.

  • ·Not yet usable for OSS registration. OSS, BKPM and operating ministries still operate on KBLI 2020 — this code isn't selectable in OSS until the cutover.
  • ·For current registrations covering this activity, we identify the closest KBLI 2020 code that matches your business and register under that. When KBLI 2025 goes live we'll migrate your entity to 71109.
  • ·The migration is a procedural update — no re-registration, no operational interruption. We handle it as part of ongoing compliance.

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.

This is a new KBLI 2025 code that OSS hasn't fully adopted yet. The actual licensing requirements depend on a sector-by-sector confirmation with the relevant ministry and BKPM. We'll source the official position before you incorporate — saving months of false starts.
