Establishing a PMA company in Indonesia typically takes about 1-1.5 months. Here are the key points regarding the timeline:

• The entire process can be completed in 1 to 1.5 months under the streamlined procedures implemented by the Indonesian government.

• The company can start trading as soon as the tax registration (NPWP) is issued.

• Specific steps in the process have the following estimated durations:

  • Approval of company name: 2 days
  • Deed of Incorporation with notary: 4 days
  • Approval of legal entity by Ministry of Law and Human Rights: 3 days
  • Tax ID (NPWP) registration: 3 days
  • Obtaining Business Identification Number (NIB): 1 day

• The process is done via the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which has helped reduce the overall timeline.

• Okusi Associates states they can establish a PMA company in less than 20 days in many cases.

• Additional licenses or permits specific to certain business sectors may require extra time beyond the basic company establishment.

• Working with an experienced service provider like Okusi Associates can help ensure the process moves as quickly and smoothly as possible.

While the official timeline is 1-1.5 months, in practice it may take 2-3 months in some cases to complete all steps and be fully operational. The exact duration can vary based on the specific circumstances of each company.
