Although ferry still sailing to Batam from Tanah Merah (Harboutfront has shut down), but Indonesia government has suspended Visas Free entry for all countries, without sponsors from Indonesian companies, can't even get the boarding pass.

need to put Usd10k in their pocket,(save deposits)... and must hv "company" sponsorship.

Read fr btpos...
The problem is only for the compulsory sponsor of the company and not for individuals. Like I want to guarantee that my friend who wants to come to Batam is not allowed. So it must be a company...

Believe or not, Singaporean can't go to anywhere in Indonesia before borders between Singapore and Malaysia reopen. The reason is because Malaysia is the main source of foreign workers supplier for Singapore, not Indonesia. The government will only prioritize to open up borders for the sake of the transit of foreign workers. With retail and service sector doing so badly here at yhe moment, the government is not eager to open up borders for Singaporean to go overseas to spend money, they want Singaporean to spend their money domestically, not only for the sake of retail and service sector here, also for the sake of GST revenue. So Singaporean can forget about going to Batam or other Indonesia islands close to Singapore until 2024.

Vaccines is already available in Russia now and soon will be available in USA, however most Singaporean probably won't be able to get vaccinated until 2023 as PAP government is kiasu and kiasi, they won't approve the Vaccines to be available here until they see majority of the population there have vaccinated and do not experience any side effect. Their wait and see and over caution attribute will prolonged the travel restrictions impose on Singaporean.
