How to Navigate the Negative Investment List
Step-by-step guide to determining foreign ownership eligibility
Identify Your KBLI Code
Determine your business activity using Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) 5-digit code. Each code corresponds to DNI classification. Browse our comprehensive KBLI directory to find your business classification.
Check DNI Status
Cross-reference your KBLI code with Presidential Regulation 10/2021 Appendix to find foreign ownership limits (0%, 49%, 67%, 100%, or conditional). Each KBLI detail page includes foreign ownership information.
Review Conditions
Some sectors allow 100% but with conditions (minimum investment, location, partnership for certain activities, local content requirements).
Structure Your Investment
Based on DNI findings, determine optimal ownership structure (100% PT PMA, joint venture, or alternative approach). We help optimize structure through our company setup service.
