Problem

To set up a business in Indonesia, CFLD confirmed to establish 5 PMA companies in Indonesia through a 3-hour Investment Licensing Service (One-stop integration service program called PTSP) 

The licensing service will allow establishing a company in 3 hours with the requirement of a minimum investment of IDR 100 billion (US$ 7.33 million) and/or absorb a workforce of more than 1,000 people to have their preliminary permits. 

Except for company establishment, CFLD needs to obtain all licenses and permits to start their project in Indonesia. Also, the work permits for their management are based in Indonesia.

• 5 PMA company registration in Indonesia (complete company documents)

In the initial step, CFLD received eight preliminary permit documents, including a principal license, tax ID, work permits (RPTKA, deed of establishment, including the land-booking letter issued by the Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning. And the rest of the documents follow in a short period.
