Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Indonesia’s investment landscape offers substantial opportunity. It also demands precise navigation. We provide end-to-end legal support for foreign investors at every stage of their Indonesian market entry, from initial structure design through ongoing operational compliance, ensuring that regulatory requirements are met and investment positions are protected.

I. Strategic Investment Advisory

• Investment Structure Design

  Analysis and design of the optimal investment vehicle, taking into account legal efficiency, ownership objectives, and the applicable Indonesian regulatory framework.

• Negative Investment List (DNI) Analysis

  Sector-specific review of foreign ownership restrictions and conditional openings under the Positive Investment List, identifying the most viable entry path for each business activity.

• Foreign Ownership Structuring

  Legal advice on maximum foreign shareholding thresholds and compliant structuring of ownership arrangements within applicable regulatory limits.

• Investment Incentive Identification

  Assessment of available government investment incentives, tax holidays, and facility programs for which the investor’s business activity and location may qualify.

II. Licensing and Compliance Management

Operating legally in Indonesia requires more than a business license. It requires the right license, maintained correctly, with periodic reporting obligations met on time. We manage this compliance infrastructure on behalf of our clients, so that the focus remains on the business itself.

• OSS and BKPM Licensing

  Comprehensive support for acquiring initial business licenses and operational permits through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system and the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM/BKPM RI).

• LKPM Investment Activity Reporting

  Preparation and timely submission of mandatory quarterly Investment Activity Reports (Laporan Kegiatan Penanaman Modal), filed in compliance with BKPM requirements.

• License Amendments and Renewals

  Processing of business activity amendments, NIB revisions, and license renewals to reflect changes in operations, scope, or regulatory classification.

• Sector-Specific Operational Licenses

  Identification and management of sector-specific permits required for the investor’s particular business activities, coordinated across the relevant regulatory authorities.
