most of the ferry ticket voucher apply for any passport holder except the batamfast ($17 without terminal tax, the only one that can be used in harbourbay). horizon ferry does not issue ticket voucher to be sold outside.
how much is the ticket, it's depending on the ferry operator and which money changer that you buy. but it won't be more than $30.. if u buy the one at $30 or lesser, there's no more terminal tax that you need to pay.. but if you bought the one at Rp165k or $17 (sindo ferry or batamfast for harbourbay), you still have to pay terminal tax at ferry operator ticket counter when collecting boarding pass. but sum amount will be same also.. won't make any difference.
one thing need to be noted. the distance from batam center terminal to nagoya is bit far. so the taxi fare won't be cheap too. but compared to how much taxi driver charge at harbourbay, nothing much different also... taxi from harbourbay charge u 50k even though you're going to pacific place which is pratically next building..
taxi from batam center terminal to nagoya, should charge you around Rp80k.. so really not much different in term of price, but very big different in travel distance..
