Do I need a local director or partner for my PMA company?

No. A PT PMA does not require a local director or local partner.
The company can be 100% foreign-owned and fully managed and directed by foreigners.

However, depending on your business activities, you may still need local support for:

• certain operational tasks,

• obtaining specific licenses, or

• handling sector-related compliance requirements.

But legally, no local shareholder or director is required.
