Only the travel insurance with covid19 coverage document? And the letter of statement?

Thanks in advance!

Just follow the requirements of the ferry companies as listed in their websites.
When i went earlier, ART was required, now no need for ART or PCR for Singaporeans travelling to Batam. You need a copy of the full vaccination certificates (2 basics + booster, understand softcopy also acceptable now), travel insurance of 20k$ for Covid19 and the completed sheet of details (name, address and vaccination details) given inside the ferry itself.
At Harbour Bay, where I landed, they have about 5 desks where these documents were checked before being attended by the immigration officers. Pretty fast and easy, not much of a problem for travellers.

Now is simple, bring ur vaccination cert and purchase travel covid 19 insurance and valid passport more than 6 months. Just that!! At terminal download the app, then check in at batam terminal, no worry even error check in also OK. Then fill in one paper show ur vaccination cert, they will tick then let u go.

Not sure if open or not, but recalled there was a KTV called square club / ktv at 2nd level of I-Hotel Baloi. Its between grand batam and the A2 food court.
Went there pre-covid. A little pricey but you can bring girl to party at the lower level if sing half way and get bored.
I did hear it might be opened, unverified yet though.

So Happy now... Most of the times, the harbourfront cruise centre is dark no matter what time of the day but just saw that the lights are all turned on for both the 2nd and ground floor. Hope it's they are in preparation of opening up soon! TMFT is really too inconvenient!

Thanks

Just went over the weekend too.

Visited Octopus at Pacific and Venew @ Batam City Hotel.
Didn't bother looking for booking joints because the drivers didn't know any.

Well, Batam should be getting back to busy soon-ish.
