Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 74909
§ 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 74909 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.

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 1 candidate permit across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Transportation
