Villa Ownership: 100% Foreign Owned Indonesian Company that Allows Commercial & Recreational Usage

If you start a business in any country the commonly accepted logic is to incorporate a company for asset protection and personal liability reasons.  The same applies in Indonesia, although most people have the perception it is too difficult or costly.  This was the case previously, however these days a company can own a Villa for Commercial and Recreational Use can be setup and licensed within two weeks, on par with Singapore for time and cost.

Most foreign-owned companies establish the Indonesian version of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which is known as a PMA—Penanaman Modal Asing –in Indonesia, since it can take the form of a 100% foreign-owned limited liability company.  The advantages of this type of company are that it gives the foreign investor full control over the direction of the company and reduces the risk in finding a suitable local partner.

PMA for Villa as a Commercial & Recreational Facility code is KBLI 55194

The government recently released a new regulation, No. 24 of the Year 2018, which made the incorporation process in Indonesia more open.  Previously, you were required to obtain a prior approval from the BKPM in order to set up a PT PMA. The new regulation, however, eliminated this requirement and businesses can now start operating immediately.

Furthermore, the establishment process for most business lines will proceed through a centralized system of One Single Submission, instead of several institutions as it was done formerly.
