The fundamental of a PMA company in Indonesia

The most common type of legal entity in Indonesia is the limited-company, which is similar in structure to the Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the USA. A limited-company in Indonesia must be owned by at least three shareholders and managed by at least one Director. An Indonesia Limited-Company also means that 51% of the company shares must be held by Indonesia citizens and the remaining shares can be held by anyone including foreigner or a foreign registered entity. In spite of this regulation, it is common for foreigner to use an Indonesia friend or a professional nominee for hold their shares on their behalf and through carefully planned structure (which we will help you with) the foreigner can still have controlling interest in the company and the bank account.

An Indonesia limited-company is a legally stand-alone entity under the Indonesia law and this protects you from unlimited liability. Unlike other countries, in Indonesia only the Director(s) is authorized to sign on behalf of the company and individual shareholders are only liable to their percentage of shares.

Setup Limited Company with mostly owned by foreigners

If you would like to setup a Limited Company where the majority of its shares are owned by foreigner, you've 3 options and we can also help you with it.

1. Obtain a Foreign Business License

2. Board of Investment (BOI) Promotion

3. Registration through the Treaty of Amity

For US citizens only


Capital

There is actually no minimum capital required to setup a company in Indonesia but we would recommend at least Two Million Baht as this is the minimum required capital to allows your company to employ foreigner and sponsor a work permit.

Having said that, you do not need to have this amount of money in your bank before you can register your company. Minimum paid-up amount capital is 25%, which can be used as working capital. If you are establishing a company to hold properties only, then you only need to have One Million Baht as the capital.


Director-as-a-Service

If you require a local Director to act on your behalf, please read below.

What is a Nominee Director?

It's an professional engagement of an individual that passes a police background check and is not bankrupt to be acting on your behalf as your company Director. Many formal documents and decisions made by an Indonesia Limited Company must be manually signed (e-signature is not accepted yet) by the company Director and if you are a foreigner who may be flying in and out of the countries, Director-as-Service is here to help you operate your company in Indonesia smoothly.

Why is it better to 'hire' a Nominee Director than using a friend, girlfriend or wife as your nominee?

A Nominee Director is hired to act according to your instruction as long as it is within the normal legal business scope. He/she will assist you to execute certain documents while you are not in Indonesia as well as to represent your company when required.

For Nominee Director (Director-as-a-Service)

Step 3

Tax and VAT Registration for your Indonesia Limited Company

If your company expected revenue for 1 year is below 1,800,000 Baht there is no need to register for VAT however you still need to submit a copy of all your company registration documents to the Central Filling Office of the Revenue Department for the issuance of your Company Tax ID Card.

If you need to register for VAT / obtain a VAT Certificate, you must obtain permission from the landowner where your business is registered in if your company does not own the land outright. Alternatively, you can also use InvestInASia address for this for a small fee.

Step 4
