i have a boyfriend that is an indonesian junior diplomat. what makes us worry rite now is that, indonesian diplomats have to go through difficult formalities when it comes to marriage (esp when they marry foreigner). i am a malaysian and i am going to work as a civil servant (probably in our ministry of foreign affairs in the future). the thing is, i heard that diplomats that intend to mary foreigners have to go through their president and the formalities are tough. we both quite freaked out but we are working on it. is there anybody out there have some experience on this kinda thing?

I`m working in the Indonesian Embassy in UAE, as I know the regulation only to get permission from the foreign ministry in jakarta. I`m sure the ambassador will help him if he`s really gonna marry you.
Contact me if you need any assistance

It's the usual practice for diplomats to have to ask for permission to marry a foreign national, it's not exclusive to Indonesia.

Why don't you ask you boyfriend for definate answer. He should have the access to his own country regulations since he is a diplomat. OR marry first, than learn the regulation.
