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.

No. You do not need to be in Indonesia to incorporate a PMA company.
If you are abroad, all required documents can be signed digitally, and the entire incorporation process can be completed remotely.

We will handle the registration, licensing, and submissions on your behalf, so you only need to be in Indonesia once your operational activities begin — not for the company formation itself.

There is no official maximum limit on how many KITAS a PMA company can sponsor.
However, in practice, immigration evaluates each case based on:

• the size and activity of your company

• the amount of paid-up capital

• the number of Indonesian staff

• the type of KITAS being sponsored (especially for Investor KITAS)

For KITAS pelabur, we recommend not sponsoring too many investors, as it may raise concerns during evaluation and reporting. A balanced structure with both local staff and a reasonable number of foreign workers helps maintain compliance and smoother approval processes.

In Indonesia, the legal company name of your PT PMA is not the same as your brand name — and in most cases, it does not need to match what customers see.

A PT PMA company name must consist of three words, but the actual wording is not very important for your daily operations or branding.

Simply share your company name idea with us (three-word format), and we will check its availability and approval with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Your brand can continue to operate under any trade or marketing name you prefer.

There is no legal limit on the number of shareholders in a PMA company.
However, for practical and administrative reasons, we recommend keeping the number of shareholders to a maximum of 10.

This helps ensure smoother management, faster decision-making, and easier compliance processes.

A PMA company can sponsor several types of KITAS, depending on the foreigner’s role and situation:

• KITAS pelabur – for foreign shareholders listed in the company’s deed

• Work KITAS – for foreign employees hired by the company

• Dependent KITAS – for spouses and children of KITAS holders

This allows your PMA to support both operational staff and family members relocating to Indonesia.

There is no limit to how many business activities (KBLIs) you can add to a PMA company. However, each activity comes with its own responsibilities.

For every KBLI, you must:

• report tax records separately

• submit LKPM (Investment Activity Report) based on that activity

• ensure the KBLI matches your actual business operations

Adding many activities is possible, but keep in mind that each additional KBLI increases your reporting and compliance workload.

Yes. You can start setting up your PMA even if you do not have a physical office yet. You may use a virtual office address for the company registration and for obtaining your business licenses.

A virtual office is valid for up to 3 years.
After this period, you must update your business license and register a physical office address that matches your operational activities.

A PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) is a syarikat milik asing di Indonesia.
It allows foreign investors to legally establish, own, and operate a business under Indonesian law.

A PMA company provides:

• the ability to have up to 100% foreign ownership in permitted sectors

• the eligibility to sponsor Investor KITAS and Work KITAS

• the legal framework to conduct business activities and generate revenue in Indonesia

• access to the Indonesian market and regulatory system

For most foreign entrepreneurs, a PMA is the correct and required company structure to run a business in Indonesia.

A PMA company can be established by any foreign individuals (minimum 2 shareholders), foreign groups, or foreign corporations — as long as they comply with Indonesian investment regulations dan sector-specific restrictions listed in the Negative Investment List (NIB).

To set up a PMA, you need:

• at least 2 foreign shareholders (individuals or companies)

• a clear business activity that is open to foreign investment

• the required minimum capital

• a registered business address (virtual office allowed for up to 3 years)

Foreign investors from any country can apply, provided their business sector allows foreign ownership.

To establish a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) in Indonesia, the core requirements are:

• Minimum paid-up capital of IDR 10 billion (approx. USD 700,000)

• A clear business plan and defined business activities

• A company name and complete legal documents (Articles of Association)

• A registered business address in Indonesia

• Full compliance with local regulations, including business licenses and sector-specific permits

These requirements apply to most sectors, but additional permits may be necessary depending on the industry.

The registration of a PMA company typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on:

• how quickly the required documents are prepared

• government processing times

• approval schedules from the relevant ministries

• whether additional licenses (e.g., NIB, business licenses) are required

We will guide you through each step and help speed up the process wherever possible.

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.

Yes. A PMA company (foreign-owned company) is legally allowed to sponsor:

• KITAS (Limited Stay Permits),

• RPTKA (Foreign Manpower Employment Plan),

• and the related work permits

for foreign directors, commissioners, shareholders, and employees.

To sponsor foreign workers, the PMA must:

• meet manpower regulations,

• have valid company documents (NIB, deed, business licenses),

• submit an RPTKA,

• and comply with requirements such as hiring Indonesian companion staff where necessary.

A PMA is the standard legal structure for employing foreigners in Indonesia.

A PT PMA (foreign-owned company) offers several key benefits:

• 100% foreign ownership (in sectors open to foreign investment)

• Full legal rights to operate, generate revenue, and own assets in Indonesia

• Ability to sponsor foreign employees, including work KITAS

• Direct access to Indonesia’s large and rapidly growing market

For many foreign entrepreneurs, a PMA is the most secure and compliant way to run a business in Indonesia.
