PT PMA Services
(Market Entry Architecture)

We help foreign founders and investors set up, repair, or restructure PT PMA entities in Indonesia, so your corporate structure, visas, and tax positioning support the business you are building, not a one-off incorporation.

Founders discussing PT PMA structure and market entry into Indonesia

Built for the next 3-5 years

We map how your PT PMA, personal visas, and tax residency work together - not just for the first year, but for the next moves you will make.

PT / PT PMA services grouped by real situations

We do not sell "random packages" based on licence jargon. We group our work into clear scenarios: designing your first entity, cleaning up a legacy structure, planning ownership changes, or stabilising governance.

FAQ

FAQ for PMA establishment: capital, compliance, and KITAS essentials in one place.

What is the difference between Authorized, Paid-up Capital, and Investment Value?
  • Authorized Capital (Modal Dasar): The ceiling or maximum amount of stock your company is legally allowed to issue, stated in your Articles of Association. For a PT PMA, this must be at least IDR 10 Billion.
  • Paid-up Capital (Modal Disetor): The actual money transferred into the company bank account by shareholders. It is the basis for calculating share ownership and must be at least IDR 2.5 Billion, recorded in your Articles of Association.
  • Investment Value (Nilai Investasi): The total scale of your business plan (capital + loans + assets). It must be at least IDR 10 Billion per KBLI. This value is stated in the OSS system and is the primary benchmark used by BKPM for investment licensing and quarterly reporting (LKPM).
Is the PMA capital requirement IDR 2.5 Billion or IDR 10 Billion?
  • IDR 10 Billion: The minimum Investment Value and Authorized Capital. To qualify as a Large-Scale Business (PMA), you must commit to a total investment of at least IDR 10 Billion per business category (KBLI). This includes capital, equipment, and operational costs, and is recorded in your Authorized Capital and OSS profile.
  • IDR 2.5 Billion: The minimum Paid-up Capital. This is the injected cash deposited into the company bank account by shareholders, representing initial equity and the basis for share distribution.
What are the main ongoing compliance obligations for a PT PMA?

Running a PMA involves ongoing maintenance to stay legal:

  • Tax reporting: Monthly and annual corporate tax filings.
  • LKPM report: A quarterly investment activity report submitted to BKPM.
  • Accounting: Maintaining books that comply with Indonesian standards.
  • Employee compliance: Registering staff for BPJS (Health & Social Security) and WLK (Mandatory Labor Report). This is important if you want to apply for Worker KITAS.
  • Annual health check: A yearly audit to ensure your licences remain valid and compliant.
Can an Investor KITAS holder actually work?

An Investor KITAS is designed for management and oversight. You can attend meetings and sign documents as a Director, but you cannot perform day-to-day hands-on work. For technical work, you must have a Working KITAS (E23).

What are the requirements and obligations for an Investor KITAS?

Primary requirements: you must hold a Director/Commissioner position and own shares worth at least IDR 10 Billion under your personal name.

What are the requirements and obligations for a Worker KITAS?
  • Primary requirements: A sponsoring company, a specific job title, a diploma/university degree related to the role, and at least 5 years of experience. The company must already have at least 2 local employees registered under BPJS and WLK.
  • Key obligations: The company must pay the DKP-TKA (skill development fund) of USD 1,200 per year and ensure the foreigner only performs the specific job listed on the permit.
