Some procedures if going to batam to stay overnite.
1) lapor polisi if you are staying in friends house/kost etc... It cost about 20K rupiah. and valid for 30 days of stay. If stay in hotel, the hotel people will report for you.
2) Carry enough cash. Always use 2 wallets. One for singapore dollars, and spare, and the other when you go out. In case you kena pick pocket or what so ever, you got spare.
3) If you keep a mistress there, espeically in kost or houses, be sure to have some marriage certificate. It is not difficult to make one. Just money only. TThe kampong have chiefs who look after the place, and if they want to play dirty, they can get you in trouble. Therefore, hotel is a better choice for most for fun. Some have rules that state that no non married couples can stay together.
Lastly, always take care of yourself and have a return ticket whenever you go. You never know when you need it.
