In Bali: a PT PMA cannot register this code
National procedure — does not apply to a PT PMA in Bali
In Bali this activity is blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium. The national procedure below applies only to non-PMA operators.
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.
Nationally, book publishing is open to 100% foreign ownership; in Bali, PMA registration is blocked across the island.
Direct 1:1 match from KBLI 2020 — code and scope unchanged.
