Clarity before commitment.
Bridgepoint Advisory helps foreign companies and international investors evaluate Indonesia, prepare to enter, and manage the legal, tax and immigration requirements that follow.
Entering a market requires more than an entry plan.
A plan describes where a company wants to go. The decision also depends on the opportunity itself, the local context, and the legal, tax and operating requirements that follow.
Bridgepoint looks at these together, before commitments are made, so you enter Indonesia knowing what it will ask of you.
Our approach
- 1Assess
Examine the opportunity, the market context and the questions that should be answered first.
- 2Structure
Define how the business could be established and which legal, tax and immigration steps it involves.
- 3Execute
Coordinate the agreed work, with specialist support where the engagement requires it.
A focused lead, with specialist support where needed.
Bridgepoint works on a principal-led model. The founder leads your relationship, research, proposal and project coordination. Where your engagement calls for specialist legal, tax or immigration execution, we bring in suitable external providers within the agreed scope.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Indonesia?
In many sectors, yes. A PT PMA can be fully foreign-owned when its business lines (KBLI codes) are open to foreign investment. Some activities are capped, reserved for local businesses or require a local partner, so the ownership limit is checked code by code before incorporation.
What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA?
Under BKPM Regulation No. 5 of 2025, the minimum issued and paid-up capital for a new PT PMA is IDR 2.5 billion. The total planned investment is generally expected to exceed IDR 10 billion per business line per location, excluding land and buildings. Paid-up capital is not a fee: it stays in the company for its business.
How much does it cost to set up a company in Indonesia?
Our PT PMA incorporation fee starts at US$1,610 (IDR 29,250,000). Notary and government charges, and your capital commitment, are separate and set out in your written proposal. The Ready to Enter package combines incorporation, a registered office for one year, a two-year investor KITAS and agreement drafting for US$3,380 (IDR 61,500,000).
How long does it take to set up a PT PMA?
Incorporation and the business identification number (NIB) usually take a few weeks once documents and decisions are ready. Sector licences, the bank account and stay permits can add further weeks. Your written scope includes a timeline for your case.
What is the difference between an investor KITAS and a working KITAS?
The investor KITAS (E28A) is for shareholders whose personal shareholding meets the immigration threshold, which practitioners report as IDR 10 billion in shares held in your own name. The working KITAS (E23) is for foreign employees, including directors, and requires the company to hold approval to employ a foreign worker for the position.
What is the corporate tax rate in Indonesia?
The standard corporate income tax rate is 22%. Companies also handle VAT, withholding taxes on payments such as salaries, services and dividends, and monthly reporting. Incentives and reduced rates apply in some cases.
Can foreigners buy property in Indonesia?
Foreigners cannot hold freehold title (Hak Milik). A foreign individual with a valid stay permit can hold a house or apartment under a right of use (Hak Pakai), subject to a regional minimum price. A PT PMA can hold land under a right to build (HGB) for its business. Long leases are a third option.
