Indonesia has officially reduced the minimum paid-up capital for foreign-owned companies (PT PMA) or foreign investors in Bali from IDR 10 billion to IDR 2.5 billion.
This update is part of Regulation No. 5 of 2025, Article 26 (10), which took effect on October 2, 2025, and it’s a major step toward making it easier for foreign investors in Bali to set up a business in Indonesia.
This change means that starting a PT PMA (foreign-owned company in Indonesia) now requires a much lower initial investment, giving new foreign investors in Bali and small business owners more flexibility and access to the Indonesian market.
Foreign Investors In Bali: Important Paid-Up Capital Highlights
- The IDR 2.5 billion must stay in your company bank account for 12 months, except when used for working capital or investment expenses.
- These funds can be used for key business activities, including covering operational expenses, purchasing assets or equipment or funding construction or expansion projects
Your compliance will be tracked through OSS-RBA filings and LKPM investment reports, so accurate reporting remains essential.
Meeting all requirements can make foreign investors in Bali eligible for tax holidays, import-duty exemptions, and customs relief, while non-compliance could lead to warnings or suspension of your business license.
If you’re a foreign investor in Bali and have already invested the previous IDR 10 billion as paid-up capital, you can apply for a capital structure amendment under the new regulation to reduce your declared capital to IDR 2.5 billion.
Overall, this new paid-up capital requirement for PT PMA in Indonesia and foreign investors in Bali reflects a more flexible and investor-friendly policy. It reduces the entry barrier for foreign investors in Bali, while keeping clear guidelines for transparency and compliance.
