July 2025

A new government regulation, enacted on 5 June 2025, will bring in sweeping changes to the business licensing application process. The changes will affect the processing of business licensing, environmental approvals and building approvals, among others, and are hoped to bring more certainty on the process and timeline.

The new regulation mandates the issuance of implementing regulations (including an amendment regulation on existing BKPM regulations No. 3, 4 and 5 of 2021, which we understand is being discussed), and the adjustment of the OSS system and the Indonesian National Single Window (INSW) system within four months of the enactment date, i.e., by 5 October 2025
