Yes, by right, that is the law of the land. Any foreigners going into Indonesia and not residing in hotels are supposed to register at a police station with the house owner so that they have a record of where u are staying. This is supposedly to protect your interest and your safety..
By left, hardly anyone does it anymore, especially in a place like batam... It is more prevalent if u are staying in ulu kampungs...
