KBLI 74194 is not on the closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership schedules of Pres. Reg. 10/2021. That clears the ownership layer — PT PMA is structurally available. Sector regulators may still add overlays (see layer 02 below).
OSS RBA classifies KBLI 74194 as Low — NIB only at Large scale. No specific PB UMKU permits recorded against this code. Licensing instruments follow the standard ladder; no sector-regulator override is on file for this code.
OSS lists 1 operational obligation at Large scale for this code. None are structural foreign-investor barriers, but they determine ongoing compliance: Submit activity reports periodically.
Worth confirming: Openness here is based on BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). Sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy) often add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your business model.

Sector regulators (PSE, BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) often add requirements depending on your specific business model — Emerhub confirms the licensing stack for your case.
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.
KBLI 74194 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.
Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
We confirm KBLI 74194 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). 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.
Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
No specific application requirements at this scale.
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Regent/Mayor | All |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |

We file the OSS application with KBLI 74194 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
KBLI 74194 is Low risk under OSS RBA, so the NIB alone is sufficient to begin commercial operation — no additional Standard Certificate or Operating License is required from OSS. We confirm all secondary registrations (BPJS, tax payment setup, sector-specific notifications) are in place.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 74194 (AKTIVITAS DESAIN KONTEN GIM) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for game content design activities. It sits within Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities under the subgroup Other Special Design Activities (major group 74) in the official KBLI 2025 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in game content design activities 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.
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.
Indonesia's BPS published the KBLI 2025 taxonomy in 2025 and OSS adopts it for new business registrations from 16 June 2026. KBLI 2020 codes already on file remain valid for the entities they were issued to; new filings select 2025 codes. This is what changes for this specific code.
KBLI 74194 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.
For new filings from 16 June 2026, Emerhub selects the right KBLI 2025 code, handles the OSS submission, and migrates existing entities to a successor code only when the registered scope requires it.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 74194 (AKTIVITAS DESAIN KONTEN GIM) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for game content design activities. It sits within the Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities category in the official KBLI 2025 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
KBLI 74194 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.
KBLI 74194's risk levels per business scale: Micro Low, Small Low, Medium Low, Large Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB only at Large scale. KBLI 74194 is classified as Low risk in OSS RBA, so the Business Identification Number covers OSS-side operational licensing on its own.
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. See the investment status block for the BUPM verdict and ownership context.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks end-to-end: AHU registration, NIB via OSS, bank account opening. KBLI-specific licensing depends on the permit instrument required.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 74194 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Regent/Mayor. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). See the licensing detail section for the full per-permit authority routing.
Beyond the NIB, no specific auxiliary permits (PB UMKU) are recorded for KBLI 74194. Sector-specific obligations may still apply — verify with the relevant ministry.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 7419: 74191 (Interior Design Activities); 74192 (Graphic Design/Visual Communication Activities); 74193 (Special Design Activities for Film, Video, Television Programs,); 74199 (Other Special Design Activities N.E.C.).
