A Local PT (PT PMDN — Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri) is a company fully owned by Indonesian citizens. It is Bali’s most common business format: a low capital threshold, a clear registration path and lighter regulatory load than a PMA.
For a foreign entrepreneur it is the working format for a joint project with an Indonesian partner you trust: the partner holds the ownership, you participate in legal roles. We are upfront about the risks of “nominee” schemes — see the questions below.
Key terms
- Owners — Indonesian citizens only (100% of shares)
- Charter capital — from IDR 50 million; the capital class sets the company category
- The standard route: KBLI → incorporation documents → NPWP → NIB → licences
- Registration — 2 weeks to 2 months
- A foreigner can work in the company on a Work KITAS arranged by it
Be clear-eyed: a Local PT is for projects with a genuine Indonesian partner. If ownership must stay with you — it’s a PT PMA, full stop.
Required documents
- A company name (2–3 options)
- ID copies of the director and commissioner
- A company address — or we arrange a legal address
- An activity description for KBLI matching

Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner own a Local PT?
No — only Indonesian citizens can hold PT PMDN shares. Any foreign share automatically makes the company a PT PMA.
What about putting shares in a nominee’s name?
We have to say it straight: nominee schemes give a foreigner no legal protection — on paper the company and its assets belong to the nominee, and in a dispute the court sides with the registered owner. If control matters, choose a PT PMA; if you have a real partner, a Local PT with properly drafted agreements.
Why pick a Local PT over a PMA for a joint project?
Entry bar and speed: capital from IDR 50 million versus 10 billion, lighter reporting (no LKPM), a faster launch. For a local business with a local partner it is the optimal format.
Can a Local PT become a PMA later?
Yes — when foreign capital enters, the company converts to a PT PMA, aligning capital and documents with foreign-investment requirements. We manage such transitions.
