As of March 2021, foreign investment in architectural and engineering services associated with large-sized projects or using advanced technology is no longer subject to foreign equity limitations, but foreign architectes are still required to partner with domestic ones according to government regulation. For the purposes of the OECD FDIRRI, as in respect to required partnership agreements with SMEs in certain sectors, it is assumed that a partnership requirement for architects is assumed equivalent to a 'local content requirement' because it does not necessary impose an equity partnership or joint-venture obligation. It is assumed that the partnership requirement may be satisfied in the form of a contractual profit sharing, operational cooperation (kerja sama operasional), outsourcing, distribution or subcontracting arrangement. The employment of local architects is not sufficient to satisfy the partnership requirement.

Previously, foreign investment in architectural and engineering services associated with large-sized projects or using advanced technology was limited to 67%.
