What You Need

Nationally, this sector is completely closed to foreign investment (0% PMA), so a foreign-owned company cannot operate it anywhere in Indonesia. While Bali does not add a separate blockage, the national ban makes any PMA registration impossible for this activity.

Who This Is For

This activity is reserved for government bodies or fully Indonesian entities handling defense and military administration; it is not open to foreign entrepreneurs.

Common Questions

Can foreigners operate a defense & armed forces institution business in Indonesia?

No. KBLI 84221 (Lembaga Pertahanan dan Angkatan Bersenjata) is TERTUTUP — closed to foreign investment. Reserved for Indonesian nationals only.

What license is required for KBLI 84221?

KBLI 84221 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.
