Just to share the package price in case no one shared here.

The massage is strong, but i go for the specials. The specials are very ex. They really think First Spa can be a chop carrot place for foreigners. Quoted $1.5 million to 3 million before. Some claims they dont do FJ. Waste of time and money at this place. Soon it will be history

Wo... 1.5m I will choose Octopus, TH2 platinum all are in package.

But after the trip I join 1 of the member in this forum, I change my plan for next trip, get a better quality girls from Ktv. Pay a bit more but bring for the whole day.

Anyway, my regular driver there told me there is a new Ktv with much better quality gals like seing in tiktok, I told him next trip will ask him bring.

Currently still plan my next trip, somewhere around CNY any bro going on this timing maybe can chiong together.

Recent trip get to know this bro, and he recommended mummy in KTV, so next trip can chiong easily.

I end up on the night, bringing back for a night till next day. Young and cute.

Don’t take the driver’s word seriously . Ask him where it is , we see if it’s true .

You can try YOHO esim, I being using this esim when I go Batam, 3gb daily + unlimited for 3 days about 3dlr ++ just a dlr each day. Connection quite stable.

Or no need to register again to use auto-gate until change to new passport?

Can enter other Indo cities using auto-gate without registering again?

about the auto-gate.. not really about the registration to use..
the autogate when you apply is call Limited Stay Permit (ITAS) .. i was confused if i exit and re-enter would i get auto reset the 30 days visa to stay in batam. so i email the singapore embassy in batam.. their reply was The terms of your stay would be based your ITAS, rather than a 30-day visitor visa. so its my understanding if you enter on ITAS and exit and come back your visa expiry is still the same.. and not reset another 30 days.. so now i prefer line up and get stamp for 30 days visa

Facilities and buffet included, massage and hot stone spa are included with 1 HJ, but i never take the HJ because HJ took long time to eject.

If you ask worth it or not, I would say no la. I think there is more better proper massage out there. But for environment wise really non of spa in Btm can compare.

Total damage below 1.1m, no tips paid because my wallet all in locker.

Good thing you didn't tip, else really kenna carrot already.

Massage with HJ wise, its expensive in batam standards.

Even if we count in facilities thrown in, compared to Octupus, its still expensive.

Nevertheless thanks for sharing.

According to seasoned veteran BFOMF5, once registered can re-enter using autogate until passport expires, without having to register again.

So let's say re-enter using autogate after the initial ITAS 30 days over without registering again, what then? How many days can stay? U raise an interesting issue but bingung [after further thot, think we get another email for another 30 days ITK/ITAS, those who have experienced already can confirm or deny this]

Note also that Asean folks are on visa exemption. And think this ITK->ITAS registration is just immigrasi tool to log in some info for autogate since a visa is not actually needed. Looks like the process is a can of worms.

It will auto reset to another 30 days from your date of entry.
