Q: What is KBLI 62194 and do AI developers in Bali need it?

KBLI 62194 (Aktivitas Pengembangan Komponen Dasar Kecerdasan Buatan) is a brand-new code in KBLI 2025 — AI and machine learning development had no dedicated code in KBLI 2020. Any company building AI components, LLM applications, ML models, or autonomous agents must register 62194. AI developers in Canggu building villa management automation, AI concierge platforms, or revenue optimization tools for Indonesian clients legally require a PT PMA under 62194.

Q: Can a foreign software developer on an E33G visa legally serve Indonesian business clients?

No. The E33G (remote worker KITAS) visa permits working remotely for foreign companies only. Earning income from Indonesian entities or clients while on E33G is a serious immigration violation subject to deportation and IDR 1,000,000/day fines. The only legal path to serve Indonesian B2B clients is establishing a PT PMA under the appropriate KBLI code (62194 for AI, 62900 for general IT). Setup costs approximately IDR 18M with 2-3 weeks processing time.

Q: What is PSTE registration and do Bali tech companies need it?

PSTE (Penyelenggara Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik) registration with Komdigi is mandatory for any digital platform with Indonesian users before commercial launch, under PP 71/2019. This applies to e-commerce apps (62191), fintech platforms (62193), web portals (63900), and online multiplayer games. Operating without PSTE registration exposes companies to domain blocking by Komdigi within 24 hours of a non-compliance order.
