Common Questions

Can foreigners operate a independent journalism business in Indonesia?

Yes. KBLI 90113 (Aktivitas Jurnalis Berita Independen) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.

What license is required for KBLI 90113?

KBLI 90113 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 90113?

KBLI 90113 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Aktivitas Jurnalis Berita Independen" (Independent Journalism). It falls under Section R 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.
