Since the free trade zone in Batam applies to the entire island, there should be no issue where you establish your company, the incentives offered may be applied.
Batam Indonesia Free Zone Authority has a Directorate called “Directorate of Goods Traffic and Investment” to provide more details about the investment process in the government. For information on the establishment of factories and the licensing process, we also have the Mall of Public Service located in the Sumatra Promotion Center building.
Central government also has the Online Single Submission program that allows investors to apply for the establishment of factories through the website www.oss.go.id.
The main employment issue is regarding the Annual Minimum Wage (UMK). To overcome this problem, we have formed a Tripartite organization consisting of the Government (Manower Office), Employers, and Laborers so that any problems can be resolved properly through negotiations.
