Establishing a Foreign-Owned Company (PMA) in Bali: A Step-by-Step Guide with M Visa Bali
Understanding a PMA (Foreign-Owned Limited Liability Company)
A PMA, or Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing, refers to a foreign investment company in Indonesia. This business entity permits foreign nationals to conduct commercial operations, including property ownership and management in Indonesia. For foreigners looking to establish a business or invest in property, particularly in Bali, setting up a PMA is a critical legal requirement.
Why Set Up a PMA in Bali?
1. Business Operations
A PMA serves as the legal foundation needed for carrying out business activities in Indonesia. It also enables you to obtain industry-specific permits and licenses essential for operation.
2. Property Ownership
If you are a foreign national intending to purchase property in Bali, forming a PMA is necessary to legally acquire property. Through a PMA, you can apply for essential permits like Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB) or Hak Pakai (HP), which grant long-term rights for building and using the property.
3. Compliance with Regulations
A PMA ensures that your business adheres to Indonesian legal and regulatory frameworks, which can be complex. This helps avoid legal complications and facilitates smooth business operations.
4. Tax Advantages and Flexibility
PMAs often offer greater tax benefits and operational flexibility compared to other business structures, which are usually limited to lease agreements and do not enjoy the same tax incentives.
