Question about visa travelling to Indonesia using HKDI passport

Question about visa travelling to Indonesia using HKDI passport?
I have a friend's husband who is holding a Hong Kong Document of Identity passport (HKDI) residing in Hong Kong and he needs to go to Indonesia for work purpose very soon. NB: Not HK Identification From what I have researched, it's a 30 days free visa but HKDI is actually a bit special and also, from what I have heard, you need a letter from a relative in Indonesia in order to grant a visa, is that true? I hope not, because it would be quite ridiculous as there are peoplpe who might go to Indonesia for holiday or work purpose (like my friend's husband), so therefore the reason does not justify. My friend tried to ring the indonesian embassy these couple of days but the line is always busy and since time is running out, I am representing on her behalf to ask this question. I hope anyone who knows about this or what solution can be done would be greatly appreciated. If there are any questions that you need to know before you are able to answer firmly, feel free to shoot out. Thank you very much in advance and have a great day

with indonesia esp if you're chinese airport immigration can be difficult. calling the embassy is fruitless as they never answer the public line. is there a way to get to the embassy and they work till 11am only. better to get a visa which costs $$. usually u dont need a letter from someone in indonesia. if work,then company should provide such assistance with their counterpart in indon. its the most corrupted country in the world. if u can avoid it

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS WORKING CLASS IN INDNESIA ?
2 :
they run around naked
3 :
no their clothing are more close to Malay cloth in Malaysia...if you are having an meeting or going to visit Official you have to wear a dress called "Batik" this is to respect i think or kind of formal dress
4 :
T and a pair of jeans. The weather is hot and humid out there.
5 :
Just wear some short-sleeve shirt/T-shirt... pretty hot and sunny there.
6 :
I think it's same and similar to the west. Like office suit. Or you can wear batik instead. It's formal too. But mostly ppl wear batik in wedding reception or some thing like that. So don't worry too much.
7 :
I prefer you ask about "working clothes", rather than "what working class wear". I prefer to not divide people into "working class", "elite class", whatever classes... Anyway, office workers throughout Indonesia wear semi-formal outfit. The male would wear shirt (long or short sleeves - with collar) and trousers. Some offices requires more formal dress that men should wear tie and blazer or jacket. Not many people use blazer in the dry season due to the hot weather. Another choice for office outfit is batik shirt. But this is considered more when you're going to meet public officials or going to attend a wedding ceremony. Sumatran wedding ceremony, however, uses more of their own traditional fabrics, called 'songket'. So you could wear songket as sort of sarong covering your trousers. Thank you for asking, btw :)
8 :
Do you men clothes workers wear at their workplace? That depends on the type of work and the location. In the cities (like Medan for example), office workers wear shirt (either short or long-sleeve) and formal trousers. But workers who are working in the oil companies (in Duri for example) are used to go to the office with casual clothes (polo-shirts and jeans).
9 :
they wear clothes? i thought all they wore were banana leave and coconut shells.
10 :
Not much different than the people here in Kuala Lumpur. Some wears jeans and t-shirts, some wears batik and the custom shirt and it's a bit similar to the top of "baju kurung".. and some of them used to have shorts and t-shirts for their daily outfit.
11 :
Dunno. The last time i stay there the men were in prison officers uniforms.
12 :
I know in the large cities they are pretty similar but moving further away from inner cities and yoou may find more men wearing sarongs instead of suits
13 :
if you picture indonesia the way you see Myanmar/Burma, you are absolutely wrong. Indonesia is a modern country with various cultural arts. So in term of Working clothes, Indonesians wear the same style with western clothes
14 :
The men in Indonesia wear a casual clothe for working ( with long pant or Jeans & Shirt or T-Shirt with collar) This for daily work or Class But for the Top Manager usually wear formal clothes (long pant & Shirt with tie & Jazz or Blasser)
15 :
Cooling clothes, as the weather can be pretty hot. I think batik shirt for casual events, short sleeve shirts for work, pants or jeans most of the time, shorts at home or at the beach! T-shirts are also the ;in thing' now. Happy New Year! PS: Yes, they are pretty similiar to the west except on Fridays when Muslims where traditional costume to pray!
