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.
