About PT PMA: The Foreign-Investment Company in Indonesia
A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is Indonesia’s foreign-investment limited liability company: the main legal vehicle for foreigners who want to run a commercial, revenue-generating business.
Sell, invoice, sign and hire.
Key Takeaways
A PT PMA lets foreign owners sell, invoice clients, sign local contracts and hire staff.
Foreign ownership limits depend on the business classification (KBLI) and the Positive Investment List.
You need at least two shareholders, a director and a commissioner, plus a registered Indonesian office.
A representative office is for liaison and market research only. It cannot earn revenue.
