PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) is a limited liability company established with foreign direct investment, allowing foreign ownership from 1% to 100%. Foreigners can serve as shareholders, directors, or commissioners. However, not all business activities are fully open to foreign ownership—some sectors are subject to foreign ownership restrictions as regulated by the Indonesian government.

The PMA / PMDN incorporation process takes about 2-3 weeks.
