A Bali PMA company registration package bundles the work of forming a PT PMA into defined stages — activity and KBLI scoping, document preparation, coordination of the notarial deed and ministry approval, tax registration, and the OSS filings that produce the NIB and any sectoral licence your risk level requires. Bali Company Registration Hub offers these as tiered scopes so you pay for the complexity your business actually has, and every stage names who performs it: us as coordinator, or a licensed notary, registered tax consultant, or government authority.
Because company formation in Indonesia is a regulated process, this page describes scope rather than giving legal or tax advice. We publish no government tariffs here and quote no official charges, since those are set by the authorities and change; verify current requirements and official costs directly with OSS and the Ministry of Investment/BKPM.
What is included in each package tier?
The variable that drives tier selection is not company size but licensing complexity: an activity that OSS treats as low risk may need little beyond the NIB, while a medium-high or high-risk activity requires a standard certificate or an operating licence, sometimes with a location or environmental clearance issued by a separate authority. Two companies with identical capital can therefore sit in different tiers.
| Stage | Essential scope | Standard scope | Complex scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBLI and ownership screening | Single activity | Multiple related activities | Regulated or conditional sectors |
| Deed and ministry approval coordination | Included | Included | Included |
| Tax registration coordination | Included | Included | Included |
| OSS and NIB filing | Included | Included | Included |
| Sectoral licence coordination | Not typically required | One sectoral licence | Multiple or authority-specific licences |
| Post-setup compliance briefing | Written handover | Written handover | Handover plus reporting calendar |
Which stages are legally reserved to licensed professionals?
Indonesian company law requires the deed of establishment to be executed before a licensed notary, and the resulting legal entity to be approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights — no consultancy can substitute for either. We prepare and assemble; the notary drafts and executes; the ministry approves. Tax positions, as distinct from tax registration, belong with a registered tax consultant. Any provider blurring this boundary is describing authority it does not hold.
- We coordinate: scoping, document preparation, sequencing, submissions, and follow-up
- The notary executes: the deed of establishment and any later amendments
- The ministry approves: the legal existence of the company
- Registered tax consultants advise: tax treatment, positions, and filings
- OSS and sectoral authorities issue: the NIB, standard certificates, and licences
What you must supply before a package can start
Document quality decides schedule more than package tier does. A corporate shareholder in particular requires constitutional documents and a board resolution legalised in its home jurisdiction before an Indonesian notary can act on them, and that legalisation happens abroad on a timetable no one in Bali controls. Founders who begin gathering documents in parallel with scoping consistently finish sooner than those who wait.
- Passports for every shareholder, director, and commissioner, with adequate validity
- Corporate documents and a board resolution where a company holds shares
- A registered address in Bali appropriate to the intended activity
- A written activity description precise enough to support KBLI selection
- Agreed capital structure and declared investment plan
- Contact details for the person authorised to respond to queries during filing
How long does a PMA registration package run?
The formation of the legal entity is generally the more predictable half of the process; the sectoral licensing that follows the NIB is where the range widens, because separate authorities apply their own review standards and queues. We therefore commit to responsiveness and completeness on our side and set expectations as a sequence with dependencies, not as a guaranteed date. No private provider can bind a government authority to a timeline, and you should treat any such promise with suspicion.
What is deliberately excluded
Clear exclusions prevent disputes later, so packages state plainly what they do not include: legal opinions, tax advice or tax planning, immigration outcomes, bank account approval, lease negotiation, and any official charges levied by authorities. Immigration and banking in particular depend on decisions made by third parties applying their own criteria to your specific file.
Capital and investment-plan requirements are covered on our PT PMA requirements and minimum investment page. If the ownership question is still open for your sector, read the foreign owned company bali page first, and if you have not yet fixed your structure, a company registration consultant bali session is the cheaper starting point.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which package tier my business needs?
Tier follows from your KBLI and its risk classification under Indonesia’s risk-based licensing framework, not from your revenue or headcount. Once the activity is described precisely enough to select a code, the licensing consequences become visible and the tier is effectively determined. This is why we scope before quoting rather than publishing a fixed price for an unspecified business. If scoping reveals a simpler path, we move you down a tier rather than up.
Are government charges included in the package price?
No. Official charges are set by the relevant authorities, are payable to them, and are itemised separately from our service fee so you can see exactly what goes where. We do not publish official amounts on this page because they are subject to change and vary by activity and licence type. Current figures should be confirmed through OSS or the responsible sectoral authority at the time you file.
Can the package continue after the company is registered?
Registration produces obligations rather than ending them: periodic investment activity reporting, monthly and annual tax filings, and maintenance of licences tied to your KBLI. Each package closes with a written handover of what falls due and when. Ongoing compliance support is scoped and quoted separately, because the workload depends on whether the company is trading, dormant, or employing staff.
What happens if my KBLI turns out to be closed to foreign ownership?
Screening happens before drafting precisely so this surfaces at the cheapest possible moment. If the intended activity is closed or conditional, the realistic options are to adjust the activity to a permitted classification, pursue a permitted partnership arrangement, or reconsider the plan. We do not arrange nominee shareholding to work around ownership rules, as such arrangements carry serious legal exposure for the beneficial owner.
