Bro, you are absolutely right. The A2 Foodcourt is directly opposite the Gideon Hotel and next to the BCS Mall. The Nagoya Foodcourt is not far from the Biz Hotel. Another popular foodcourt, the Windsor Foodcourt nearer to the Harmoni Suites is closed for renovation.

On horizonfastferry website it says ART pre departure test but batamfast website still not updated and still says PCR. Will call them tomorrow to confirm what’s the latest. Will be good news if ART. 🤣

[Hurhurrahrah]

Yes, seems like it, if you have spent at least the 14 days in Singapore and got your 2nd or 3rd vaccine, ART within 24 hrs is fine.

Can check link below.

Penuin is A1 foodcourt. Correct me if im wrong.

Just contributing my humble short trip. Ran out of sperm count after my 4th gal..3rd day i couldn't even cum.

P/s: upon collecting your returning bording pass, you need to get an ART test done at the ferry terminal which cost 10sgd and also need to go ICA site to register
. Google sg arrival card.

Do you still require to show proof of hotel booking with full payment made at Indonesia immigration check point ? Can you book for open ticket (no fixed date, can use anytime) for returning to Singapore ? Can anyone clearify ?

[kbt7046]

Just make hotel booking at Agoda.com. base on the infro provided on the site, ART also accepted but must be taken within 24 hours before departure while PCR has 48 hours.

It would appear as what you mentioned. As for the scene in Batam, i was told the malls and restaurants are generally open with mask mandates. I'm hoping to explore few of the usual joints during my upcoming trip and see what's left / still opened.
