How to Set Up a PT PMA in Indonesia
Updated 28 Aug 2026. This article is educational and does not replace a project-specific review of current rules, classifications and authority practice.

Start with the real business activity

Describe what the Indonesian company will sell, manufacture, import, build or provide. The activity description should drive structure and classification, not the other way around.

Review ownership and KBLI before incorporation

Foreign ownership, activity combinations and project location should be reviewed before the company documents are finalised.

Treat NIB as a licensing baseline

The entity and NIB create the operating foundation, but additional licences, standard certificates, product approvals or site requirements may follow.

Plan post-incorporation readiness

Tax, banking, immigration, payroll, imports, product approvals and recurring reporting should be sequenced around the launch plan.

How IndoGateway approaches this

Start with the operating objective, then map the dependencies.

We connect corporate, licensing, product, site, workforce and recurring compliance workstreams around what the business actually plans to do.
