What documents are required to register a yayasan in Indonesia and how long does the process take?

To establish a foundation, you need to prepare documents, draft a Deed of Establishment at a notary (including a name check on AHU Online), submit a request for approval to the Ministry of Law (Kemenkum) (usually through a notary), and obtain a Decree (SK) from the Ministry of Law and an announcement in the State Gazette. Key preparations include identifying documents for the foundation's organ (Founder, Patron, Manager, Supervisor) and proof of initial assets of at least IDR 10 miliion. If you are willing, please contact us through Lawzana. Thank you.

Foreigners or foreigners together with Indonesian citizens may establish foundations. Foundations established by foreigners or foreigners together with Indonesian citizens are subject to the provisions of Government Regulation No. 63/2008 and its amendments, as well as other applicable laws and regulations, such as those relating to immigration or employment. Foreign individuals who wish to establish a foundation must meet the following document requirements: the identity of the founder, as evidenced by a valid passport; separation of part of the founder's personal assets to be used as the foundation's initial assets, with a minimum value of IDR 100 million, as evidenced by a statement from the founder regarding the validity of these assets; and a statement from the founder that the activities of the foundation will not harm the Indonesian people, nation, or state. Thank you.
