Do we have to hire Indonesian citizens as staff in our PMA company?

Last updated on Nov 26, 2025

Yes. Every PMA company is required to employ at least 3 Indonesian staff members. This is part of Indonesia’s regulation to ensure local employment and to balance the hiring of foreign workers.

Typically, these positions can be:

  • administrative staff
  • finance or accounting roles
  • operational support
  • other non-managerial roles

Hiring local staff is also necessary for compliance, reporting, and maintaining a healthy company structure in Indonesia.
