What You Need

Nationally, this activity is fully open for foreign ownership. In Bali, it is not blocked by the moratorium but has a medium-high risk classification, so you will likely need to verify your business address and may encounter additional local licensing steps or inspections — the activity is registrable but requires careful compliance.

Who This Is For

Foreign researchers, cultural foundations, or academic institutions wanting an official legal entity to conduct humanities research in Bali's rich cultural environment.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a humanities r&d business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 72202 (Penelitian dan Pengembangan Humaniora) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.
What license is required for KBLI 72202?
KBLI 72202 sits outside the ordinary OSS-RBA risk-based licensing flow: OSS publishes no business-scale licensing rows for it. Activities in this group are typically licensed under a special or sectoral regime (e.g. government affairs, financial services under OJK/BI, education or health authorities) — verify the applicable regulator case-by-case before relying on an NIB alone.
What is KBLI 72202?
KBLI 72202 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penelitian dan Pengembangan Humaniora" (Humanities R&D). It falls under Section M of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
