Book Publishing: Nationally Open, but Closed to PMA Registration in Bali

Book publishing can be fully foreign-owned nationally, yet Bali’s permanent moratorium blocks PMA registration for this activity across the island.

What Changed

Direct 1:1 match from KBLI 2020 — code and scope unchanged.

What You Need

Nationally this business is fully open to 100% foreign ownership (PMA). However, in Bali it is currently blocked for foreign companies because it falls under the local moratorium on low/medium-low risk activities, set to last since 13 May 2026.

Who This Is For

International authors, publishing houses and comic/graphic novel producers who want a global publishing base—but currently cannot register this as a PMA in Bali.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a book publishing business in Indonesia?
Nationally yes — but NOT in Bali. KBLI 58110 (Penerbitan Buku) is TERBUKA (100% foreign ownership) at the national level, but in Bali it is blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium. OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026 Outside Bali it is open to a PT PMA with no local partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 58110?
KBLI 58110 has a Menengah Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB + Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: Otomatis.
What is KBLI 58110?
KBLI 58110 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penerbitan Buku" (Book Publishing). It falls under Section J of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 58110 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 58110 was mapped from previous code 58110 (KBLI 2020). This is a direct match — the code number and scope remained the same. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
