Guide to the new OSS
Jun · Jan 29, 2020 · updated Nov 2026
Business registration and licensing in Indonesia are handled through a single system, OSS (Online Single Submission). Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025, effective 5 June 2025, replaced Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021.
I. Key changes
- Business activities are classified into four risk levels — low, medium-low, medium-high and high — which determine the licenses required.
- The business classification (KBLI) now has 1,417 entries, with fewer medium-high and high risk activities.
- OSS subsystems grew from five to eight, adding principal licenses, investment facilities and partnerships.
- Licenses issued under the previous regulation remain valid.
II. What to check
- The risk level of your 5-digit KBLI under the new classification
- Your OSS account details and investment activity reporting (LKPM)
- Minimum capital rules for PT PMA (Minister of Investment Regulation No. 5 of 2025, effective October 2025: paid-up capital IDR 2.5 billion, investment plan above IDR 10 billion per business line and location)
