Establish a local point of contact while evaluating Indonesia.
A KPPA is an Indonesian representative office attached to an overseas company. It allows the parent business to coordinate research and relationships locally before establishing a company that can trade. This can be useful while evaluating potential customers, suppliers, locations, or a longer-term entry strategy.
The key distinction is commercial activity: a KPPA is intended to represent its parent, not earn revenue in Indonesia. A foreign company that needs to sell locally, collect customer payments or issue Indonesian commercial invoices should assess a PT PMA and the licenses relevant to its business activity.
Representative activities
- Gather market insights and investigate expansion opportunities
- Coordinate with potential partners and other stakeholders
- Support the parent company through liaison and monitoring
Activities outside a standard KPPA scope
- Using the office as a local sales and revenue centre
- Billing customers or taking payments for goods or services
- Carrying on activities that require separate operating licenses
Representative Office (KPPA) vs PT PMA
Consider what the Indonesian presence needs to do before choosing a registration route.
| Criteria | Representative Office (KPPA) | PT PMA |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Market entry research, coordination and representation of the foreign parent. | An incorporated company for licensed commercial activity in Indonesia. |
| Customer revenue | Not intended to invoice customers or record sales in Indonesia. | Can sell and invoice within its registered and licensed scope. |
| Ownership structure | Established by an overseas parent company without creating a separate Indonesian shareholder structure. | An Indonesian company with foreign shareholding, subject to sector-specific rules. |
| Filing timeline | Package average: 2 weeks after the application documents are ready. | Depends on incorporation readiness and any additional sector licenses. |
The reference page also gives a broader 4–6-week estimate for a KPPA project when document collection and preparatory work are included. The package's two-week estimate refers to the filing stage, not a guaranteed end-to-end deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Foreigners may not do business with their own name in Indonesia. So, in order to do business in Indonesia, they need a partner to set up a company.
Once the foreigners have at least 1 partner and decide their business, they can register their company with just their passports.
Since G20 2022, Indonesia has relaxed and allow foreigners to have full ownership of many businesses so there will be no issue with Indonesian partners.
To live in Indonesia, there are several ways. The two most favourites are by having an Investor KITAS or with a second home visa. We can assist you in applying for both.
Each of the permits have different requirements, if you are an investor of a company, you need to only show the company bank account balance.
