Thank you for your reply,bro. Now your reply has left me with yet another question,if you do not mind sharing (if you knew).
If i were to travel from Harbour Bay ferry terminal to Tanjong Balai Karimun,do i need to pass thru its custom immigration to get my passport chop again?
I asked becos i hope to bypass the custom passport chopping procedure and am wondering if it will be against their law. I ask the question also becos i have read in the older Batam thread that someone actually get into Tanjong Pinang from Batam w/o going thru their custom immigration to have his passport chopped. (he took a speed boat there if i dont remember wrong)
My greatest fear when going to Indonesia,their custom immigration.Where they keep finding loopholes in their own country's law to try to put tourist in some kind of trouble so they can extort them. Not forgetting there wont be a Singapore Consulate in Tanjoing Pinang nor in Tanjong Balai Karimun to help me if the immigration officers of the mentioned places has 'other plans' for me,hehehe...
Note,i ask the above question for my knowledge reason/s,i have no intention to visit Tanjong Balai Karimun nor Tanjong Pinang anytime soon. I apologize if you (or anyone) feel i asked too much.
Thanks again and cheers!
