The clean way

No commitment
What's included.
Everything below is what we'd handle on your behalf — incorporation is one-time, the rest are annual. Tax & payroll auto-sizes from your team and transaction volume.
Registration with Ministry of Law (AHU), KBLI mapping, NIB issuance, deed of establishment. We file on your behalf — no need to be in Indonesia.
A commercially-zoned address that satisfies BKPM's domicile requirement, in either Jakarta, Bali or Surabaya. Includes mail handling.
Quarterly Investment Activity Report to BKPM — every PT PMA must file regardless of revenue. Late filings trigger written warnings, then NIB suspension.
Monthly bookkeeping, payroll runs, BPJS contributions, withholding tax (PPh), VAT (PPN), annual SPT — handled by Indonesian-licensed accountants.

Prefer to talk it through first?
Common questions.
How long does PT PMA registration take?+
Once your documents are in (passport copies, shareholder details, KBLI selection), AHU registration typically completes in 5-10 business days. NIB issuance via OSS follows immediately. Add 2-4 weeks for bank-account opening, which depends on the bank.
Do I need to be in Indonesia to register?+
No. Every step is remote — we handle the AHU filing, deed of establishment, NIB issuance and tax-ID setup on your behalf. Physical presence is only sometimes required for bank-account opening, depending on which bank you choose.
What is the actual paid-up capital we have to put in?+
Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, a foreign-owned PT PMA must have IDR 2.5 billion paid-up at incorporation (~USD 160K). Total investment commitment per KBLI must reach IDR 10 billion+, but that figure is realised over time and reported quarterly via LKPM — not put in upfront. Sector regulators (OJK for finance, Kemenkes for healthcare, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities.
What is LKPM and why does every PMA need it?+
LKPM (Laporan Kegiatan Penanaman Modal) is the quarterly Investment Activity Report every PT PMA files with BKPM. It tracks how the IDR 10 billion investment commitment is being realised. Late or missing filings start with written warnings and escalate to NIB suspension — which freezes the company. Our LKPM service handles every quarterly cycle so you stay clear of suspension risk.
Can I provide my own office address instead of using your virtual office?+
Yes — if it's commercially-zoned and meets BKPM's domicile requirements. Most foreign investors don't have one on day one, so the virtual office (USD 349/yr) is the easier path; you can switch to your own address later without re-registering.
Why is this priced in USD when business is done in IDR?+
Foreign investors typically budget in their home currency — most of our clients pay in USD or EUR. The figures above are Emerhub's standard USD pricing. We invoice in either currency depending on what works for your accounting.
Who handles the actual filing — kbli.co.id or Emerhub?+
KBLI.co.id is a directory and pricing front-end; Emerhub is the licensed Indonesian corporate-services provider that executes every filing. Emerhub has 10+ years across SE Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines) and works with companies like Philips, Fujitsu and Teleperformance. You get the data depth of the directory plus Emerhub's execution.
What if my KBLI is restricted or domestic-only?+
We'll flag it before you commit capital and walk you through the alternative structures — partnership with an Indonesian operator, an adjacent open KBLI, KEK / Special Economic Zone routes, or commercial-arrangement structures. Restricted KBLIs aren't the end of the road, they just need a different setup.
