A PT PMA may require additional sector-specific approvals depending on its KBLI 2025 activities, facilities, products, technical personnel, and the rules applying to the relevant sector.
When the Business Activity Requires Additional Authorization
Some business activities require authorization beyond the company’s NIB and other OSS licensing.
Requirements can also differ within the same sector. Geothermal projects, for example, are regulated based on activities such as surveying, exploration, and exploitation or utilization. The required approvals therefore depend on the specific activity the investor intends to conduct.

Certain regulated activities or projects may also carry sector-specific capital, investment, asset, or project requirements. This can affect the funding required to enter the sector and the viability of the proposed investment.
When the Facility Requires Separate Approval
Licensing the business activity does not necessarily clear the facilities or equipment used to conduct it. Depending on the sector, production sites, healthcare facilities, warehouses, energy installations, or specialized equipment may require separate standards or approvals.
For example, certain facilities using ionizing radiation require specific construction or operating approvals. Facility requirements may need to be assessed before an investor commits to a site, builds the premises, or installs regulated equipment.
When the Product Requires Separate Approval
A company permitted to manufacture, import, distribute, or sell goods may still need separate approval for regulated products such as food, pharmaceuticals, traditional medicines, health supplements, cosmetics, and medical devices. Depending on the product, this can include registration, certification, standards compliance, or authorization before it enters the Indonesian market.
Launching a regulated product? Contact MAP Resources Indonesia at info@mapresourcesindonesia.com
A PT PMA may be ready to operate while a regulated product is not yet cleared for sale. Product approval timelines can determine when the company can begin generating revenue from that product.
When Qualified Personnel Are Required Before Operations
Some regulated activities cannot be performed until the company has personnel with the required qualifications, certifications, registrations, or competencies. Recruiting or appointing these personnel may therefore need to be completed before the regulated activity can begin.
