Indonesia Is the #1 Opportunity for Pakistani & South Asian Entrepreneurs

270 million consumers, fast-growing economy, and the lowest PT PMA capital requirements ever. Here's what's stopping most people — and how we fix it.

😰

"I Don't Understand the Bureaucracy"

Indonesian regulations change often and government websites are in Bahasa. Confusing for anyone — especially from abroad.

✓ We handle ALL government paperwork for you
🗣️

"Language Is a Barrier"

Most consultancies only speak English or Bahasa. You need someone who understands your background and speaks your language.

✓ Urdu, Hindi, English & Arabic support
💸

"Is It Very Expensive?"

Many think starting a company in Indonesia requires huge upfront capital. In reality, the capital requirement is document-based — no cash needed upfront.

✓ Service fees from just USD 1,000

Why Pakistani & Indian Entrepreneurs Are Registering Companies in Indonesia

Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest economy and the world’s 4th most populous country. For entrepreneurs from Pakistan, India, and across South Asia, registering a PT PMA company in Indonesia unlocks a market of 270 million consumers — with full foreign ownership and no local partner required.

100% Foreign Ownership — No Local Partner Needed

Under Indonesia’s Positive Investment List (Presidential Regulation 10/2021), over 200 business sectors are open to 100% foreign ownership through a PT PMA company. Pakistani and Indian entrepreneurs can own and control their Indonesian business outright — no nominee arrangements, no local co-founder required.

PT PMA Registration from USD 1,000 in 7–8 Days

Foreign company registration in Indonesia is faster and more affordable than most entrepreneurs expect. IndoDesk handles your NIB business licence (OSS), Ministry of Law approval, and NPWP tax number entirely remotely — you never need to travel to Jakarta. The full PT PMA setup costs from USD 1,000 and is completed in 7–8 business days.

Investor KITAS: Live in Indonesia as a Business Owner

Every PT PMA director or shareholder qualifies for an Investor KITAS (E28A stay permit) — a residency visa for foreign investors. It covers your spouse and children, lets you open Indonesian bank accounts, and after 3 years qualifies you for permanent residency (KITAP). IndoDesk processes the Investor KITAS from USD 500 in 4–7 days.

Business Visa B211A: Enter Indonesia While You Register

If you want to visit Indonesia to meet your team or explore the market before registration is complete, the Business Visa B211A lets you enter and stay for 60 days, extendable to 6 months. Available to Pakistani and Indian nationals from USD 120, processed remotely in 3–5 days before you travel.

Tax Treaties with Pakistan, India & UAE

Indonesia has active double-tax avoidance treaties with Pakistan, India, and the UAE — meaning profits earned in Indonesia are not taxed twice. Corporate tax is a flat 22%, with no dividend withholding tax for qualifying holding structures. Indonesia’s growing trade agreements with ASEAN, Australia, Japan, and South Korea give your Indonesian company preferential market access globally.

Urdu & Hindi Support — We Understand Your Journey

IndoDesk is the only Indonesian business setup consultancy that provides dedicated support in Urdu, Hindi, and English. Our team has helped 1,200+ entrepreneurs from Pakistan, India, UAE, and across South Asia navigate Indonesia’s legal, banking, and immigration systems. We offer free consultations and no upfront deposits.

Everything You Need to Know

Answers to the most common questions from Pakistani, Indian, and international investors.

Can a Pakistani citizen start a business in Indonesia?
Yes, absolutely. Pakistani citizens can register a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) with up to 100% ownership in over 200 business sectors. No upfront capital payment is required — the IDR 2.5 billion requirement is managed on paper during setup. You can also get an Investor KITAS visa in just 4–7 days to live and manage your company. Many of our clients are from Pakistan and have successfully established businesses in trading, F&B, tech, and e-commerce. Read the full guide for Pakistani investors →
What is the minimum capital to start a PT PMA company?
The minimum paid-up capital for a PT PMA is IDR 2.5 billion, but you do not need to deposit this upfront. It is managed as a document-based commitment during company setup — we handle this process for you. The total investment plan of IDR 10 billion per KBLI code is also a paper commitment, not an immediate cash requirement. See full 2026 capital requirements →
Can I set up my company without visiting Indonesia?
Yes. IndoDesk offers 100% remote company registration. Documents are notarized in your home country and apostilled, then submitted by our legal partners. The only in-person requirement is the KITAS biometric appointment (photo & fingerprints) at Indonesian immigration — which many clients do on a short Visa on Arrival trip.
What is the Investor KITAS (E28A) and who is it for?
The Investor KITAS (E28A) is a temporary stay permit for foreign shareholders/directors of PT PMA companies. It lets you live in Indonesia for 1–2 years, travel freely, manage your business, and bring family. No separate work permit is needed. After 3 consecutive years, you can apply for permanent residency (KITAP). Read the complete Investor KITAS guide →
How long does the entire process take?
PT PMA registration takes approximately 7–8 working days. Investor KITAS processing takes 4–7 working days. With our bundled service, most clients are fully operational within 2–3 weeks from the first consultation. Expedited options are available.
Do you have Urdu or Hindi-speaking staff?
Yes. Our team includes Urdu and Hindi speakers specifically to support clients from Pakistan, India, and the South Asian diaspora. We understand the cultural nuances and can explain complex Indonesian regulations in a language you're comfortable with.
What business sectors are open to 100% foreign ownership?
Over 200 sectors are open to 100% foreign ownership under Indonesia's Positive Investment List (Presidential Regulation 10/2021). These include technology, consulting, trading, manufacturing, hospitality, education, and healthcare. Some sectors like media, maritime, and specific agriculture have restrictions. We check your KBLI code during the free consultation.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements?
Post-incorporation, PT PMA companies must file quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Report) through the OSS system, annual tax returns, and maintain valid business licenses. Non-compliance can result in license revocation. Our compliance retainer handles all of this for you. See full annual compliance requirements →
Can I bring my family to Indonesia?
Yes. Investor KITAS holders can sponsor dependent KITAS visas for their spouse and children. The dependent visa is valid for the same duration as the primary holder's KITAS. Children can attend international schools, and your spouse can live in Indonesia without a separate visa.
How much does PT PMA registration cost in Indonesia?
IndoDesk PT PMA registration starts from USD 1,000, covering all government fees, the NIB business licence (OSS), Ministry of Law company deed, and NPWP tax number. The Investor KITAS (E28A) visa starts from USD 500. Optional services include Virtual Office (from USD 50/month), Tax & Compliance retainer (from USD 200/month), and Business Visa B211A (USD 120). No hidden fees and no upfront deposit required.
Can an Indian citizen register a PT PMA company in Indonesia?
Yes. Indian nationals can fully own and operate a PT PMA company in Indonesia. IndoDesk has helped hundreds of Indian entrepreneurs register PT PMA companies in technology, consulting, trading, and manufacturing sectors. The process is 100% remote — no travel to Jakarta required. We provide Hindi-speaking case managers and bilingual documentation support throughout.
What documents are needed to register a PT PMA in Indonesia?
To register a PT PMA, you need: (1) a valid passport for all shareholders and directors, (2) recent proof of address (utility bill or bank statement), (3) your intended business description and KBLI sector code, and (4) email and phone number for OSS registration. No notarised documents are needed for the initial setup. IndoDesk provides a full document checklist and verifies all requirements during your free consultation.
What is the difference between PT PMA and PT PMDN in Indonesia?
A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is a foreign investment company that can be owned partially or fully by non-Indonesian nationals. A PT PMDN (Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri) is a domestic company restricted to Indonesian citizens only. Foreign entrepreneurs from Pakistan, India, UAE, and other countries must use the PT PMA structure to legally own a business in Indonesia.
Can I register a PT PMA company without visiting Indonesia?
Yes — IndoDesk provides fully remote PT PMA registration. You never need to visit Jakarta or anywhere in Indonesia during the entire process. Our team handles all government submissions, notarial requirements, and authority approvals digitally through Indonesia’s OSS system. Over 80% of our clients complete their entire PT PMA setup from their home country without stepping foot in Indonesia.
What is the corporate tax rate in Indonesia for a PT PMA?

The standard corporate income tax rate in Indonesia is 22%. PT PMA companies benefit from the same rates as domestic companies. Indonesia has tax treaties with 70+ countries including Pakistan, India, and UAE, reducing withholding taxes on dividends and royalties paid to foreign shareholders.

What annual compliance is required for a PT PMA in Indonesia?

PT PMA companies must fulfil: (1) LKPM — quarterly investment activity reports to BKPM; (2) SPT Tahunan — annual corporate tax return; (3) RUPS — annual general meeting of shareholders; (4) audited financial statements if turnover exceeds IDR 25 billion. IndoDesk manages all annual compliance on your behalf.

How long does Investor KITAS processing take in Indonesia?

Investor KITAS processing takes 4–7 business days after document submission. It is issued for 1 year and renewable annually while your PT PMA remains active. IndoDesk handles the full KITAS application including coordination with the Directorate General of Immigration.

Can my family get a KITAS if I have an Investor KITAS in Indonesia?

Yes. Spouse and children under 18 can apply for a Dependent KITAS (E38A), allowing them to live legally in Indonesia. Cost is approximately USD 350 per family member with 5–10 business days processing. Children on Dependent KITAS can attend local and international schools.

What is the minimum investment capital for a PT PMA in Indonesia?

The minimum total investment is IDR 10 billion (~USD 625,000). Minimum paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 150,000). For service-sector businesses actual cash required is much lower. IndoDesk advises on the correct capital structure for your specific business sector and activities.

Are there restricted business sectors for foreign investors in Indonesia?

Yes. Indonesia's Negative Investment List (DNI) — integrated into OSS — specifies sectors closed or partially open to foreign investment. Fully closed sectors include small-scale retail and certain media. Many sectors allow 100% foreign ownership including manufacturing, tourism, technology, and professional services. IndoDesk reviews your business activity against the latest DNI before registration.

What is the difference between PT PMA and KPPA in Indonesia?

A PT PMA is a fully incorporated company that can generate revenue, hire staff, and operate commercially. A KPPA (Representative Office) can only do market research and promotions — it cannot generate revenue or conduct commercial activities. KPPA is cheaper but severely limited. Most serious investors choose PT PMA for full operational capability.
