Moreover, the country’s economic positives, such as its demographic, customers’ characteristics, human resources, natural resources, etc. are other magnets that make foreign investors target this country. However, for those with limited capital, it is difficult to even start the business because the government clearly states that having a business address is one of the many requirements that each of the foreign company has to comply.
Renting a virtual office can be a great solution to penetrate into the hype of Indonesian markets and businesses. To know more about why and how you can legally rent and use your virtual office address to run your businesses in Indonesia, we give you a complete guide of renting virtual offices in Indonesia, particularly with Jakarta as your business address.
WHY VIRTUAL OFFICE

This solution will give you time to focus more on your business strategies and allocate the company budget to more important matters like the production or service areas.
The local government of Jakarta has issued a special regulation regarding to the use of virtual offices in the area. The regulation states that:
- Companies can use virtual offices as long as they meet the requirements decided by the government.
- The companies should attach several supporting documents, such as:
- A copy of Jakarta ID Card (one of the directors or owners must have Indonesian citizenship and is resided in Jakarta)
- A copy of a family card
- A copy of an individual tax number or card
- A copy of bank statement or a recommendation letter from the bank

- The permit to use the virtual office can be given for one (1) year and can be extended based on the applied law.
Also, it is stated that you can use the space in your house as your business office, which means that you will have the same address for your house and your business. The advantage is you don’t need to pay extra money, but the downside of this idea is your business address will not look good as it is located in the residential address.
