About Us
Driven by a commitment to ethical practices and client success, LMI Consultancy was founded to become Southeast Asia’s leading provider of affordable and innovative immigration and corporate solutions.
About LMI Consultancy
Founded in 2016 by British entrepreneur Gary Joy, LMI Consultancy has rapidly established itself as Indonesia’s leading visa and business consultancy, recognized with multiple awards for excellence and market leadership. With four strategically located offices in Jakarta and Bali – including the distinction of being the only agency in Bali with offices spanning the entire width of the island – LMI is uniquely positioned to serve both local and international clients seeking reliable, expert support for their expatriate and business needs.
LMI Consultancy made history as the first agency in Indonesia to transparently advertise our prices, disrupting industry norms and putting an end to unfair practices by less scrupulous competitors. This pioneering move not only protected the public from price manipulation but also set a new industry benchmark, effectively standardizing service fees nationwide. Our commitment to integrity, transparency, and client success has set us apart as the market leader, and we continue to innovate and raise standards in the industry. Our dedicated team ensures a seamless experience for every client, making us the trusted partner of choice for over 36,000 people since inception.

Why LMI Consultancy?
LMI Consultancy was born from the genuine passion of our founder, who envisioned connecting the world to Indonesia’s vibrant opportunities – both as a top-tier tourist destination and a thriving investment landscape. Established in Jakarta, Indonesia, our story began with a clear purpose; to simplify and streamline the process of obtaining visit visas, residency permits, and business licenses, making it easier and safer for clients to pursue their goals.
While our vision is to one day serve clients throughout Southeast Asia, our expertise and operations remain proudly rooted in Indonesia. This growth mindset is fuelled by our steadfast commitment to exceptional service, integrity, and the values that shape our identity. We remain dedicated to helping clients realize their ambitions, offering tailored solutions and unwavering support at every step of their journey.
