The Indonesian institution called Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) requires foreign investors to present an investment plan for a minimum of US$1 million (equivalent for IDR 10 billion), of which 25% needs to be paid up capital.  Foreign companies, however, cannot open a bank account before the incorporation process is completed.

However based on the new regulation all new foreign company needs to have financial audit before they can apply for a permanent business license and also other connected licenses (import license, etc.) which are critical for a lot of companies. This new regulation wants to ensure that all foreign investors realized their an investment plan and not only submitted an investment plan to Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) just only on paper, which often happened in the past.
