What You Need

This code covers government-run general higher education (public universities). The licensing rows shown here earlier mixed a general higher-education regime with a separate electricity-sector (ketenagalistrikan) training-services licensing standard — an unrelated activity — and our review additionally found the crosswalk citation for this code disputed (the true 2020 lineage points to a different, multi-parent set), so the licensing rows have been removed from this page pending a full re-adjudication; the correct licensing for this activity is not yet reliably defined in our verified sources. Before registering or investing, confirm the current requirements with the Bali Zero team.

Who This Is For

Foreign education groups or investors aiming to establish or co-manage a state-recognized university or specialized higher education institution in partnership with the Indonesian government.

Regulatory Divergence

The licensing previously shown for 85401 was removed because its source could not be verified as applying to this activity. Here is what the sources actually say — with citations.

Correction note — verbatim, with source locators

KBLI 2025 code 85401 'Pendidikan Tinggi Umum Pemerintah' (government general higher education) carries canonical status_mapping='MATCH_CON_AGGREGAZIONE', kbli_2020_source=None, pp28_sources=['85497', '85496', '85499'] (3-parent citation, verified live against canonical this session). The Lot 7 conductor gate (SECOND SIGNING §2/§3 item 2/§6) establishes this code's TRUE 2020 lineage is a DIFFERENT multi-parent set: 85401 <- {51108 'Angkutan Udara Bukan Niaga', 85311, 85312} — the THIRD division reached by the 51108 residual-bucket fan (after the transport division and the Lot 5/6 targets), now proven to reach the education division alongside sibling codes 85402 and 85530 (same page, conductor-eye, gate §2). The current canonical citation ({85497,85496,85499}) does not match this true parent set. Independently VERIFIED THIS SESSION by direct read of the served per_skala payload (3 rows): the SECOND row's persyaratan cites 'Pemenuhan Standar Perizinan Berusaha Jasa Pendidikan dan Pelatihan di Bidang KETENAGALISTRIKAN' (electricity-sector training-services licensing standard) — a distinct, unrelated ketenagalistrikan (electricity-sector) regulatory regime folded into a general-higher-education code's served array, on top of the crosswalk-citation defect. Per rule #9, status_mapping and pp28_sources are left UNCHANGED: the true parent set ({51108, 85311, 85312}) is recorded HERE as _data_note provenance ONLY, and inheritance across this fan is NOT adjudicated by this cure. per_skala detached; the licensing regime for government general higher education is not retrievable/verifiable from the pinned sources as hunted pending a full crosswalk re-adjudication.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a government general higher education business in Indonesia?
No. KBLI 85401 (Pendidikan Tinggi Umum Pemerintah) is TERTUTUP — closed to foreign investment. Reserved for Indonesian nationals only. (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 85401?
We cannot yet show a verified licensing basis for KBLI 85401: the licensing previously associated with this code was removed because its source could not be verified as applying to this activity. See the Regulatory Divergence section on this page for the documented sources, and verify the current OSS treatment before relying on any licensing assumption.
What is KBLI 85401?
KBLI 85401 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Pendidikan Tinggi Umum Pemerintah" (Government General Higher Education). It falls under Section P 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 85401 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 85401 was mapped from previous codes 85497, 85496, 85499 (KBLI 2020). Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. 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.
