KBLI 85401

Government General Higher Education

Pendidikan Tinggi Umum Pemerintah

🎓 Section P — Education

Closed to PMA (national) — route to the private code 85402

🚫ClosedHigh RiskAggregated🏝️🚫Closed to foreigners

This KBLI covers government-operated higher education—universities, institutes, and colleges—offering diploma, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, as well as professional and vocational programs, with a broad academic focus on science, technology, arts, and humanities. In practice for a foreign PMA, it means engaging in formal degree-granting education under a public (state) framework, which typically requires a partnership or license from the relevant ministry.

What You Need

This activity is government-operated and is closed to foreign ownership nationally (TERTUTUP · 0% — Daftar Positif Investasi, Perpres 49/2021 Pasal 2: activities reserved to the central government cannot be carried out by a PMA). The foreign-investable equivalent is the privately-operated sibling code 85402 ("Swasta"), not this government code. A foreign-owned company cannot register under this KBLI; the Bali provincial moratorium is moot here because the national closure already bars it.

Who This Is For

Foreign education groups or investors aiming to establish or co-manage a state-recognized university or specialized higher education institution in partnership with the Indonesian government.
