🛒 Section G — Wholesale & Retail Trade

✅Open· 100% ForeignLow RiskDirect Match

Supermarkets, hypermarkets, department stores, and large-format modern retail — the Toko Modern Lainnya category. This covers self-service modern retail formats where no single product category dominates: premium grocery, specialty food stores, lifestyle retail, branded international chain stores. Unlike minimarkets (47111), there is no size ceiling and no nationality restriction. **This code is 100% open to PMA (foreign investors).** While 47111 is locked for UMKM only, 47191 is the legal gateway for foreign-owned retail in Indonesia.

Low risk (Rendah). NIB only — issued automatically (Otomatis) via OSS Pusat.

Authority

OSS Pusat (central OSS system). Note: ignore the "Gubernur Daerah Khusus Jakarta" scale entry — that is a Jakarta-specific governance anomaly and does not apply to Bali or other provinces. For all non-Jakarta operators: NIB is auto-issued via OSS Pusat.

PMA

Terbuka — 100% foreign ownership allowed (Perpres 10/2021, confirmed unchanged in amendments 49/2021 and 14/2024).

Step-by-step for a PT PMA modern retail operator

PT PMA incorporation— notary deed, AHU registration, TDP (~2–4 weeks, IDR 8–15M notary fees)

NIB via OSS— register on oss.go.id, select 47191, auto-issued (1–2 days)

KKPR (Kesesuaian Kegiatan Pemanfaatan Ruang)— spatial conformity for commercial zoning, ATR/BPN (2–4 weeks); for large-format stores in some regencies: analisis kondisi sosial-ekonomi (AKSE / socio-economic impact study) may be required by local Perda — check with DPMPTSP Kabupaten before submitting

PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung)— building permit, replaces IMB (4–12 weeks for new builds; not needed if leasing existing fit-out)

Shopping center agreement (if entering a mall)— anchor/tenant agreement with mall management, plus fit-out and signage approvals

UMKM kemitraan— post-opening mandatory obligation: formal partnership with local micro/small enterprises via shelf-space allocation or supplier agreements

Bali Intelligence

47191 — the PMA retail arena in Bali

While 47111 (minimarket) is locked for Indonesians only, 47191 is where foreign retail brands operate legally. Current examples in Bali:

Pepito Market (Seminyak, Sanur, Kerobokan) — imported goods supermarket, the expat staple
Bintang Supermarket (Seminyak, Kuta) — premium grocery, Bali's best-known expat chain
Circle K (selected tourist areas) — international convenience chain in large-format
International branded lifestyle stores inside Beachwalk, Discovery, and Seminyak Village malls

Socio-economic study — when is it required?

Permendag Toko Swalayan requires an analisis kondisi sosial-ekonomi (AKSE) before opening if your store will materially impact nearby traditional markets. Enforcement varies: Badung and Denpasar are stricter; Tabanan and Buleleng are more relaxed. The study assesses impact on warungs and pasar tradisional within your catchment radius. Timeline: 3–8 weeks if required. Clarify with DPMPTSP before submitting your KKPR.

Mall entry: the real operational path for most PMA retailers

For international brands, the most common route: PT PMA → mall anchor tenant agreement → NIB → store fit-out. Premium Bali mall anchor slots (Beachwalk, Discovery) run IDR 1–3 billion/year in rent. Strip-mall or stand-alone retail: IDR 200–600M/year.

💡Common mistakes

Ignoring zoning — KKPR is mandatory before any fit-out; Bali has strict restrictions near temples, rice paddies (subak), and coastal buffer zones
Operating before NIB — even with automatic issuance, you must have the NIB document before trading
UMKM partnership as box-ticking — enforcement is increasing; documented shelf-space agreements or supplier contracts are required, not just a signed letter
