Foreign Investment (Penanaman Modal Asing/PMA) should be incorporated as an

Indonesian limited liability company

(Perseroan Terbatas/PT)

and domiciled in Indonesia.

Limited Liability Co or Perusahaan Terbatas (PT)

Foreign Direct Investment, most often referred to by its Indonesian abbreviation - PMA, is governed primarily by the Foreign Capital Investment Law No. 1 of 1967, amended by Law No. 11 of 1970. As a legal basis, the law is fairly accommodative to various deregulatory policies and measures to date, and those that will be taken by the government in the foreseeable future.


As stipulated by Foreign Investment Law, PMA companies shall take

the form of a Limited Liability Company (Perseroan Terbatas, PT)

and subject to Corporate Law.

Articles of association of PT shall be registered by the founder of

PMA companies or their proxies to the Directorate General of Civil Affairs of

the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.


In addition to Investment Law No. 1/1967, PMA companies as well as other companies, in their business operations are still subject to sector/industrial policies as required by corresponding ministries.
Incorporation of PMA Company

The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the government body which processes and handles FDI companies, issued an important deregulation package on PMA in May 1994 referred to as PP-20/1994. It was seen as a very significant step toward a much more conducive and attractive investment environment in Indonesia. The regulation:

* Allows 100% FDI investment in selected areas of business
* Limits foreign direct investment to 95%, with a minimum of 5% ownership by an Indonesian
* Allows FDI investment with certain conditions
* Stipulates the sectors which are closed to FDI investment

You can obtain a copy of the FDI application in English from Indonesian embassies overseas or from the Investment Coordinating Board office either from the head office in Jakarta or from regional offices in the provinces.

For those companies choosing to make a 100% foreign investment, there is a requirement that 15 years from the commencement of commercial operations, the 100% foreign shareholder must sell at least 5% of the firm to an Indonesian entity. A company which is initially 95% foreign owned is not subject to any divestment requirement.

The amount of capital to be invested in a foreign-owned company is decided by the investing parties themselves, and the BKPM approval is based on the economics and scale of the project. Foreign investment companies are basically free to choose where in Indonesia they will set up operations, with the proviso that factories must be in areas zoned for industry or in an industrial estate.

The life of foreign investment companies has been extended by allowing the renewal of the fixed operating license (IUT) for an additional 30 years. In other words, the initial licenses are valid for 3 years (SPPP BKPM), plus 2 x 30 years, for a total of 63 years.
