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 84223 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 84223 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.

What this means for foreign investors

An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.

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) carve-outs

    Several restricted codes — notably healthcare, education, and certain manufacturing — have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (e.g. Sanur Health KEK, Lido KEK). We assess whether your operation can benefit and walk you through the KEK admission process.

  • 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.

Open codes in the same area

These KBLIs sit in the same subgroup and are open to PT PMA. They may achieve a similar business goal through a different value-chain step.

Restricted KBLIs need a tailored structure. Book a call and we'll map the right entity, partner, and licensing path for your specific business.

What is KBLI 84223?

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

KBLI 84223 (Air Force) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for angkatan udara. It sits within Public Administration and Defence; Compulsory Social Security under the subgroup Defense and Security in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

This group includes all activities (administrative, operational, and others), including civil employees in the air force environment, except for air force members who are employed or hold positions in the government. For example, the Indonesian Air Force Headquarters.

Who needs KBLI 84223?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in angkatan udara 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.

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.

Carried forward into KBLI 2025

KBLI 84223 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.

  • ·Continue using 84223 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
  • ·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
  • ·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.

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.
