Do we have to hire Indonesian citizens as staff in our PMA company?

Yes. Every PMA company is required to employ at least 3 Indonesian staff members. This is part of Indonesia’s regulation to ensure local employment and to balance the hiring of foreign workers.

Typically, these positions can be:

• administrative staff

• finance or accounting roles

• operational support

• other non-managerial roles

Hiring local staff is also necessary for compliance, reporting, and maintaining a healthy company structure in Indonesia.
