Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 90011
§ 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 with carve-outs
Open to foreign investment, with carve-outs
KBLI 90011 is open as a class — a 100% foreign-owned PT PMA can be incorporated under this code — but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out 1 specific sub-activity that are off-limits or restricted for foreign capital. The rest of the activity remains open to PMA. The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.

Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation.

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.
