Frequently asked questions from foreign investors

Can foreigners own land in Indonesia?

Not under freehold (Hak Milik). A PT PMA can hold HGB, HGU or Right to Use, and foreigners with a residence permit can own a house or apartment under Right to Use. Avoid nominee arrangements: they are void by law.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA?

The investment value is generally above IDR 10 billion per KBLI per location excluding land and buildings, with minimum paid-up capital under the current BKPM regulation (since 2025: IDR 2.5 billion).

Do I need an Indonesian partner?

No, for most fields open to 100% foreign ownership. An Indonesian partner is needed where ownership caps or partnership obligations apply. A PT PMA still needs at least two shareholders, who may both be foreign.

Can I handle everything from abroad?

Mostly yes, using an apostilled or legalised power of attorney. In-person attendance is usually needed to open the bank account and for KITAS biometrics.

What is LKPM?

The Investment Activity Report that every PT PMA must file quarterly through OSS. Failure to report can lead to administrative sanctions up to licence revocation.
