Opening a Restaurant in Bali - Dream? No, Reality!

Imagine:

☀️ year-round tourist flow

🌴 exotic atmosphere and affordable products

💵 low cost with high margins

💬 and hundreds of thousands of expats and tourists always looking for great food

Bali is the ideal place to start a restaurant. And yes, foreigners can do it legally too.

🔹 How? Through PT PMA – a foreign-owned company

This is the only legal way for foreigners to do business in Indonesia. Only through it can you:

✅ rent premises

✅ officially hire staff

✅ obtain licenses and operate fully

📌 What do you need to start a restaurant?

Register a PT PMA

• Authorized capital (from 10 billion IDR – you don't need to deposit it immediately, just show it)

• Unique name

• Legal address (real or virtual)

Obtain licenses and certificates

• NIB – Business Identification Number

• Business standard compliance certificate

• Sanitary certificate

• Permits from local authorities, fire, and sanitary services

Prepare the premises

• Kitchen equipment
