Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Your Trusted Legal Gateway to Investing in Bali and Indonesia.

Overview

Indonesia offers immense opportunities for foreign investors, but the legal landscape for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can be intricate. Our practice is divided into two core service pillars to give every investor full legal coverage, from market entry to ongoing compliance.

PILLAR 01

Set Up PMA Company

A PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) is the official legal vehicle for foreign investors to operate a business in Indonesia. We guide investors through every step of incorporation, ensuring the structure aligns with the latest Positive Investment List, capital requirements, and sector-specific regulations.

Our role goes beyond paperwork. We help structure the company so that it is both legally compliant and operationally efficient for the long term, with the right business classification (KBLI), capital plan, and shareholder structure in place from day one.

What We Handle

  • PT PMA incorporation and legal entity setup
  • KBLI classification and business activity selection
  • BKPM (Investment Coordinating Board) licensing
  • Compliance with the Positive Investment List
  • Shareholder structuring and articles of association
  • NIB (Business Identification Number) registration
  • Operational and sector-specific permits
  • Work permits (KITAS / RPTKA) for foreign staff
  • Ongoing LKPM investment reporting

What We Handle

  • Legal status verification of target companies or assets
  • Land and property ownership investigation
  • Review of business licenses and permits
  • Corporate document and shareholder structure audit
  • Contract and agreement review
  • Tax and regulatory compliance check
  • Litigation and dispute history review
  • Risk assessment and legal opinion report
  • Pre-acquisition and pre-investment legal advisory
PILLAR 02

Due Legal Diligence

Before any acquisition, joint venture, or major investment, due legal diligence is essential. Our team conducts a thorough legal review of the target company, asset, or land to verify ownership, regulatory standing, and any hidden legal risks.

The result is a comprehensive legal opinion that gives investors clarity and confidence, ensuring that every commitment of capital is supported by verified facts and a clear understanding of the legal terrain.
