Batam is a city, won't become ghost town. There are many Singaporean and Malaysian holding Indonesia PR staying there. Lucky for them, can enjoy fucking girls at lower price now. Balai will be ghost town, not Batam.

It is still not worth going for the Batam trip at this time because of the many restrictions and unknowns. We also cannot do the things we usually do when in Batam during the pre-Covid19 days. The seven days SHN after the trip is most forbidding . It is better to wait for the Omicron wave to settle down with clearer information and less restrictions before making our trips.

Yes, I saw this too

Batam is unlikely to be included in VTL because the main purpose of VTL is for foreigners coming here to spend or work, not for Singaporean going overseas to spend money. Most of the Covid cases in Indonesia are from Jakarta but Jakarta is one of the VTL destination, Batam is not. 7 days SHN at own home i still can tolerate provided i can really enjoy what i want while i'm overseas, but currently Singaporean going to Batam just like foreign tourists going to North Korea, movement restricted in resort area which may not has girls for booking. Indonesian not working in the resort may not be allow to enter the resort. So spending so much and may not be able to get girls for fucking, not worth at all.

VTL launched with Batam already. Although at Nongsa only, can get your ceweks to come in if you willing to pay for their pcr test to get into Nongsa.

Do you mean that any Indonesian can enter and stay with their customers as long as they take PCR test ?

They can come but will be quarantine in Indonesia when they go back. This sea VTL is not 2 ways VTL, people from Indonesia come here from Batam or Bintan can go anywhere in Singapore but people going from here can only go to the resort, can't leave the area and go elewhere. Just like going there to serve quarantine in resort, not holiday.

I have asked one of my local friends about discos in Batam and she said all is open and "everything normal". No foreigners, but Indo live their life there.
Anyone knows?
It is a pain for me to imagine Newton packed, Square packed on Saturday, and no foreigners around...

VTL between Singapore and Batam take effect on this Friday, however nothing to be happy about it. I 've checked with Nongsa Sensation properties, Singaporean who go there on VTL must remain within the properties they book for the entire trip, can't go anywhere and can't bring any visitor including locals, in other words, ceweks not allow to stay with their customers. Also Singaporean who go there on VTL are also not allow to go to other properties within the Nongsa Sensation area. Cost also high, from $300+ on 1 night stay to $1700+ for 3 nights stay. Effectively it is just like paying to be quarantine in Batam, only different is you will be allowed to use all the facilities within the properties you booked.It is different for Indonesian who come to Singapore on VTL , they are allow to go anywhere and meet anyone in Singapore. So better going to Cambodia, you are allow to meet anyone, go anywhere within Cambodia once your ART test is negative at Cambodia airport.

Just try logging it and found that it is still alive! I thought Batam Info thread has already been removed.

Come across bro my53xy3y3 post. Sad to see Formosa Hotel has closed down already.

It's use to be a very popular hotel in year 2000 to 2008 where I used to stay there regularly. The hotel is just like a one-stop entertainment center where you can have your nice foods, KTV, massage, girls, restaurant and cafe all in-house. With Lucky Plaza and Centre Point on both side. It is a very convenient place for new cheongsters. My very fond memories. Very sad to know that it is closed now.

Life is short. Enjoy while can!
