Legal Compliance: Indonesian law generally requires foreigners who wish to engage in business activities to establish a legal entity, such as a PMA company, to operate legally within the country.

Work Permits (KITAS): As a director or employee of a PMA company, you may be eligible to obtain a KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas), which is a limited stay permit that allows you to live and work in Indonesia legally.

Residency: While setting up a PMA company isn’t directly linked to residency, having a business presence in Indonesia may facilitate obtaining certain types of visas and permits for residency, especially if you intend to stay in the country long-term.

Bank Accounts and Taxation: A PMA company allows you to open a corporate bank account and conduct business transactions in Indonesia. It also enables you to comply with local tax regulations and fulfill reporting requirements.

Ownership and Control: Establishing a PMA company allows foreigners to have a legal ownership stake and operational control over their business ventures in Indonesia, subject to certain ownership restrictions and regulations.
