Any idea what is required if I want to bring my indo helper to bintan?

Went 2 years back with friends and they brought their Phil helper as well. Seems to go through the same customs etc with nothing special. Not sure if things changed

Hi,


Would like to ask around, any 1 been to batam?
Any places to shop and things to do there...
Which hotel would you recommand and why?
How to travel around?
Which month or season to travel there?

most of the 'happening' places are in nagoya, the city centre area where the shopping centres are.. basically its a haven for shopping and massage but not much for children sadly..

i would suggest hotels in nagoya itself to avoid travelling from other parts, each trip around 35,000 to 40,000 rupiah, too many times oso can eat into ur travel money.. u wouldnt wanna take their buses so its better to move around in cabs.. no exact month/season to go, its all yr round except during hari raya ramadan period when some shops close early..
