✅Open· 100% ForeignNew in 2025

Performing arts — live artistic performance activities including dance, theater, music concerts, opera, puppetry, circus, and other staged performances. This covers the act of performing, not the venue (90310) or the event organization (90391). If you're on stage performing, this is your code.

Licensing & Requirements

What You Need

Brand new code (BPS_ONLY) — no PP28/2025 licensing data exists yet. The specific risk category, requirements, and licensing pathway haven't been formally published. You'll need NIB at minimum, and should monitor OSS for when licensing details are added.

PMA

Fully open — 100% foreign ownership.

2020 → 2025

This is a completely new code in KBLI 2025 — it didn't exist as a separate code in 2020 (BPS_ONLY status). Performing arts were previously bundled with broader entertainment or cultural activity codes. The 2025 classification gives performing arts its own dedicated code.

Bali Intelligence

Bali has one of the richest performing arts traditions in the world — Legong, Barong, Kecak, and Wayang puppet theater are UNESCO-recognized cultural treasures. For foreign performing artists, the opportunity lies in contemporary fusion: combining Balinese dance with modern choreography, creating international music festivals, or staging theatrical productions that draw on local mythology. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, BaliSpirit Festival, and various music events demonstrate the appetite for performing arts. Be mindful that traditional Balinese performing arts are deeply tied to Hindu religious ceremonies — commercial use of sacred performances requires cultural sensitivity and community consent.
