Indonesian need visa to Hong Kong ?

I am planning to go with my friend, who is an Indonesian, to Hong Kong.
Anyone knows whether she needs to apply for visa ?

There's no need for her to get a visa for a stay of up to 30 days.

Why not phone the closest embassy and ask?? There must be one in
Singapore.

Isn't Indonesia in ASEAN? If so, why would she need a visa beforehand?

We wish you a nice holiday.
My wife is Indonesian and in her 50's and was treated like a piece of
**** everywhere she went because there are 200,000 Indonesian and
Filipino servants in HK and it is inconceivable that an Indonesian (or
other brown-skinned Asian) woman is anything other than a servant.

We went there to visit another couple (he is white and she is Indo) who
were both teachers and were living there. Guess what? She could not get
a job despite having higher qualifications than her husband (Masters in
Education from Australia) because, as one school put it, none of the
parents wanted a teacher who looked like a servant teaching their kids.

We will never set foot in HK again...despite it being great fun for
white people and Chinese!

That link produces a list of countries which admit Hong Kong SAR
passport holders without a visa, which isn't quite what was being
asked. Perhaps you intended to post a link to this page, which shows
who needs a visa to enter Hong Kong.

It clearly shows there that Indonesian citizens staying for up to 30
days don't need a visa. I don't know where pied piper is getting his
information from.

Yes, but Hong Kong is not. Hong Kong is a part of China which is not in
the Association of South East Asian Nations

Possibly s/he got stuck behind a gaggle of Indonesian domestics in
immigration (they're pretty obvious when their agency herds them
around). That's happened to me more than once, and of course those
girls require work visas.
