Choose your path into Indonesia

Four curated paths for different situations-founders, remote workers, business owners, and retirees. Start where you are; we’ll guide you to being fully legal.

INVESTORS / PT PMA

The Founder’s Path

You are bringing capital, ideas, and jobs to Indonesia. We design your market entry architecture, not just a cheap PT PMA deed.

  • Market entry architecture, not template structures
  • KBLI strategy to avoid “cheap PT PMA” traps
  • Includes a 12-month compliance roadmap

DIGITAL NOMADS / REMOTE STAFF

The Remote Resident

You work online, love Indonesia, and want to stay legally without fake job titles or visa runs every 60 days.

  • Clarify E33G Remote Worker Visa vs Investor KITAS
  • All-inclusive fee: visa, sponsorship, and tax ID
  • Plan built so you can rent, bank, and live calmly

EXISTING COMPANIES / SMES

The Operations Room

You already run a company, but admin, reporting, and unresponsive agents are draining your focus.

  • Monthly compliance retainers (tax, LKPM, BPJS)
  • Our “Green Light” status so you know you’re safe
  • Designed to replace ghosting agents and guesswork

RETIREMENT IN INDONESIA

The Welcome Home

You want to retire in Indonesia with dignity, clarity, and support, without dealing with “fixers” or queues alone.

  • Retirement KITAS with concierge-style handling
  • Help with bank accounts and practical life setup
  • You never queue at immigration alone

Questions about “Choose Your Path”

Selected FAQs pulled from our Paths and Services pages, so you can see exactly what is included and how each route works.

  • What problem does the Foundation Package solve?
    It prevents the common “cheap setup” failures: banking friction, unclear ownership control, cap table questions, licensing gaps, and compliance mess. We design a defensible PT PMA structure from day one.
  • Who qualifies for the Remote Worker KITAS (E33G)?
    Remote employees, freelancers, and online professionals with income sourced outside Indonesia. We confirm eligibility based on your work arrangement and sponsor requirements.
  • What is included in the Compliance Shield retainer?
    A monthly retainer covering routine compliance execution and monitoring: monthly tax reporting, quarterly LKPM preparation and submission support, and NIB/OSS status tracking. You also receive a monthly status summary with a “Green Light” indicator when everything in scope is clean.
  • What does “concierge” mean in the Retirement KITAS package?
    End-to-end retirement KITAS handling plus practical relocation support such as helper contract guidance and insurance considerations. One team coordinates the entire process so you do not have to piece things together.
  • What is the difference between Authorized, Paid-up Capital, and Investment Value?
    • Authorized Capital (Modal Dasar): The ceiling for how much stock your company can issue, stated in the Articles of Association. For a PT PMA, this must be at least IDR 10 Billion.
    • Paid-up Capital (Modal Disetor): The actual money deposited into the company bank account by shareholders. It is the basis for share ownership and must be at least IDR 2.5 Billion, recorded in the Articles of Association.
    • Investment Value (Nilai Investasi): The total scale of your business plan (capital + loans + assets). It must be at least IDR 10 Billion per KBLI and is stated in the OSS system for BKPM licensing and LKPM reporting.
  • What is “Withholding Tax” and how does it work in Indonesia?
    Indonesia’s tax system operates on a withholding basis. When a company pays for services or salaries, it must withhold a percentage of tax and pay it directly to the government on behalf of the recipient. The legal obligation to withhold, pay, and report the tax sits with the income payer, not the recipient.
  • Which visa route fits me (remote work, business, retirement, family)?
    There is no universal “best” visa. We map your purpose, length of stay, location, and whether you need a sponsor or entity. Then we recommend the cleanest route with assumptions and a clear next-step checklist.
  • What are the main ongoing compliance obligations for a PT PMA?
    • Tax reporting: monthly and annual corporate filings.
    • LKPM report: quarterly investment activity reporting to BKPM.
    • Accounting: books that comply with Indonesian standards.
    • Employee compliance: BPJS and WLK registrations, required for Worker KITAS.
    • Annual health check: a yearly audit to confirm licences remain valid.
