Business in Indonesia
PT PMA is a company with foreign investment in Indonesia.
The abbreviation stands for Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing — a limited liability company with foreign capital. Through a PT PMA, foreigners can legally run a business in Indonesia, hire staff, lease land, and open bank accounts. Whether you plan to launch a digital agency, a wellness studio, or enter the retail and wholesale trade, business in Indonesia gives you the legal foundation to operate. With a PT PMA, you can attract clients, hire staff, and enjoy the benefits of long-term residency options. In addition, company owners can apply for an Investor KITAS, which provides the right to live in Indonesia legally while managing and supervising their business.
