Salam,
Saya punya pengalaman yg menyenangkan menyebrang ke Singapura dgn Horizon pada tanggal 15 Juni.
Saya ingin kembali membeli tiket untuk perjalanan tanggal 7 Juli untuk se keluarga.
Pertanyaaan saya, bolehkan kami membeli tiket tanpa harus check in jadwal kapal terlebih dahulu?
Saya kuatir akan ada delay dalam perjalanan kami dari Medan ke Batam dengan pesawat.
Terima kasih responnya.
Salam!
Jika Anda khawatir tentang keterlambatan kedatangan dari Medan, saya sarankan membeli tiket kami di situs web kami setelah Anda mendarat. Semoga membantu!

Hi Good Day!
Just to double check is it true that if we got 2doses of Covid vaccine we do not need to buy travel insurance to go Batam from singapore?
Hi Nina,
You’re right, you’re only required to have 2 doses of covid-19 vaccine. You are also no longer required to purchase travel insurance.
Thanks,
Horizon Fast Ferry Team
So just to confirm only vaccination status needed to show…
No travel insurance needed entering batam from Harbour bay ferry terminal..
Lastly to confirm horizon ferry will operate from Harbour front starting from 15th June ..
Hi Razali,
Your information is all correct. You’ll have to show proof of vaccination, no travel insurance is required, and that we will return to Harbour Front and start operating from 15th June.

I’ve try to book the tickets via online. At the payment pages its shown departure place is at harbour front.
Hi Lionel,
You can ignore that and complete your booking. All departures are still at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. I apologize for the confusion caused!

Thanks,
Horizon Fast Ferry Team
Hi Horizon
I need to travel to Batam on 6May.
Is there a package include ticket,Art test and insurance
Hi Rahim,
While we do not have a package, you can easily purchase our tickets online, covid-19 insurance and ART test here
https://linktr.ee/horizonfastferry
Thank you for choosing Horizon Fast Ferry!
If you are not Singaporean you will probably have to buy a RP500,000 visa on arrival and lose half a page in your passport. I will wait until there is no such obligation before returning to Batam, my passport is aleady pretty full!!
Hi Richard, my husband requires a Visa-On-Arrival and it does take up about 1/6 of the page so I get what you mean. It is significant and it does eat away at your passport pages very quickly. However, this has nothing to do with Covid-19 and unless our country’s relationship with the VOA country change, the VOA is here to stay.
For Singaporeans, able to travel freely in batam such as Nagoya or batam ctr, or only within designated hotels/resort area?
Hi Daisy !You’ll be able to freely travel anywhere within Batam.
Hi admin,I’m Singaporean,do I need to take art test back to Singapore from Batam ?
Hi Jose,
No, there is no covid testing requirement when entering Singapore.
Thanks,
Horizon Fast Ferry Team
I’m planning to go to Batam for a week on May 6 , do I need to show the proof of hotel booking with full payment made at immigration. Can I just buy one way ferry ticket or Open ticket on return or I must buy the return ticket with fixed return date ?
Hi Kent, Batam’s immigration officer generally don’t check for hotel confirmation or booked return tickets but it is at the discretion of the officer. It is something that is good to have, but not required, especially if you’re holding a Singapore passport.
Hello. I Will travel to from Batam to Singapore with you on saturday and return to Batam sunday. Do i need to have a PCR test for my return to Batam ?
Hi, you”ll need a ART test to be taken. You can try going for https://minmed.sg/supervised-art/
Hi Horizon team,
Just to confirm on this statement “A negative Covid-19 supervised ART test result taken
within 24 hours of the ferry’s departure time (only applicable
for those who had been in Singapore for a least 14 days)” Cause I just came back to Singapore on the 24 April from Batam. Does that mean I have to stay in Singapore for 14days before I can travel to Batam again? Or can I still enter Batam again this coming 29 April?
Hi Darrell,
We’re so excited that you’re traveling to Batam again! You can absolutely travel to Batam on 29th April 2022. However, you’ll have to take a PCR test within 48 hours of your departure date instead of an ART test. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience, but hope that this won’t prevent you from visiting our wonderful island again!
Thanks,
Yeni Ho
