Aktivitas Profesional, Ilmiah dan Teknis Lainnya YTDL
Last updated · Sourced from OSS Indonesia
This group includes professional, scientific, and technical activities not classified elsewhere, such as agricultural consulting services (agronomist), environmental consulting, other technical consulting, and consulting activities other than architectural, engineering, and management consulting. It also includes diving services and the recovery of cargo from sunken ships. This group also encompasses activities conducted by agents or representatives on behalf of individuals typically involved in the production of motion pictures, theater production, or other entertainment or sports attractions, as well as the placement of books, games (plays, music, etc.), works of art, photography, and others, with publishers, producers, and others.
NIB enables preparation; the separate Operating License is filed with the relevant ministry — Emerhub handles both.

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 74909 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.
Sub-activities recorded under this KBLI in the OSS regulatory database. The classification covers any business operating in one or more of these areas.
From the official OSS scope definition for this KBLI class. Each item is a distinct sub-activity that falls under this code.
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 74909 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).
This group includes professional, scientific, and other technical activities that are not classified elsewhere, namely diving services and the recovery of cargo from sunken ships (ships and objects that have been submerged for ≥ 50 years, whether they have cultural heritage status, are suspected cultural heritage objects, or are items other than suspected cultural heritage objects/cultural heritage).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Minister/Head of Agency | All |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
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.
Ministry of Transportation. Applies to commercial passenger or freight transport — road, sea, air, rail, freight forwarding, port and airport operations. Each vehicle, route, or terminal often needs its own standard certificate; expansion triggers re-certification.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 74909 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.
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 14 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
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 74909 (Aktivitas Profesional, Ilmiah dan Teknis Lainnya YTDL) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for other professional, scientific, and technical activities not elsewhere classified. It sits within Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities under the subgroup Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Activities (major group 74) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in other professional, scientific, and technical activities not elsewhere classified 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 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.
KBLI 74909 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.
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.
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 74909 (Aktivitas Profesional, Ilmiah dan Teknis Lainnya YTDL) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for other professional, scientific, and technical activities not elsewhere classified. It sits within the Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes — KBLI 74909 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).
KBLI 74909's risk levels per business scale: Micro High, Small High, Medium High, Large High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + Operating Licence (Izin). KBLI 74909 is High risk at Large scale, so the Operating Licence requires substantive sector-regulator approval before the business can operate. Expect a multi-month review with technical submissions. One sector-specific PB UMKU permit also applies. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 74909 specifically takes 14 days at the Large business scale.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 74909 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: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 74909 carries 1 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Transportation (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.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 7490: 74901 (Translator or Interpreter Activities); 74902 (Business Consultation and Business Broker Activities). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
