Tarempa became an Official Port of Entry in February 2017. Yachts can now visit the islands without first clearing into Indonesia at Nongsa Point on Batam Island.

See the main Indonesia/Formalities page for full details on clearing into and out of Indonesia.

Report to the officials here, even if you are not clearing into or out of the country. You must visit Immigration, Customs, Quarantine, and the Port Captain/Harbormaster in that order. Take along your boat stamp. Clearing it is free.

Port Captain.  Their office is next to the Ferry Terminal.  Ask for the Syahbandar (“si-ban-dar”), but the sign outside the office is “Kementerian Perhubungan”.

Quarantine.  Their office is behind two government buildings across the street from the hospital, next to the Tarempa Beach hotel. The sign outside the office is “Departemen Kesehatan”.

Immigration.  Their office is on a road parallel to the main street.  Turn right at the end of the boardwalk from the floating dinghy dock and after 200 meters take the road to the left that goes over a small bridge.  Before the bridge, turn left and the immigration office is on the left. The sign outside the office is “Kantor Immigrasi”.

The Navy may also visit your boat. All officials are reported to be very helpful and courteous.

Clearing out: Visit the offices in the same order. The only fee is for harbor dues.
