PCR tests for $88 and results by 3pm next day if test is taken before 5pm.
Thank you. MUch cheaper. I feel those test centers are scams. How can they charge so much? The government control so many things how come never control their pricing.
Yes, looks like you need a PCR PDT for your coming trip to Batam. Well, let's hope the Indonesian Authorities lift the PDT testing following the examples of other countries in the region soon. Cheers.
Yes just remove la. What for they set a high standard for those people coming in and give them money when their own people got no standard at all. We should be more afraid of them than they are afraid of us. A long time ago, my friend who owns a nightlife establishment and cafe there said what covid? Nah, they don't even bother to wear masks and can sing live band and live performance. No control of seatings and selling alcohol anytime. In front of the shop dim the lights nia but inside happening one. The best is the authorities allow them cause they are the bodyguards.

Indonesia government is likely to ease the rule further next week. Base on feedback from ferry operators, number of Singaporean going there for leisure are below expectation.
Is there any ART test station near ferry counter to predepature test within 2hrs before boarding?
It really depends on where you stay before you go to the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal for your departure. There are definitely several clinics or swap centres in the East near the ferry terminal but you need to check their operational schedules to book a test in good time before your departure. The Swapstation opposite Bedok Point Mall only do ART test in the afternoon on prearranged basis at $38.
Going on May 6, return on May 12. Just insurance, ferry ticket, ART test and going to TMFT by cab alone cost me $200. This one week trip to Batam may cost me $3000+ in total. A bit expensive but doesn't matter, who know how long the borders will remain open. Border closure can happen suddenly if Covid has mutate into another form of virus or another China Virus evolve. Better to enjoy first once got chance, don't wait, too much uncertainty in life.

Hi kbt7046,
Is ART accepted for entry into Batam? No need PCR test?
