INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
A. TRAVELLING TIPS
1. Passport, visa and health matters
Please ensure that your passport is valid for the entire duration of your time abroad. Your
passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the intended departure date from the
last destination of your trip. Indonesian passport holders need not require visa to enter
Singapore. There is no requirement for any vaccination unless advised by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs Indonesia.

2. Budgeting
While most of your daily necessities are already covered in the package, you will only
need money for drinks, snacks, personal shopping, gifts and souvenirs. It is better to
bring a little more money than you think you will need. It is recommended that you do not
bring more than SGD300.

B. WHEN YOU ARE THERE

1. Upon arrival
At the first point of entry into any country, the usual immigration and customs
procedures must be observed. Please fill in your disembarkation form and queue up at
the appropriate immigration counter. Wait for the immigration officer's instructions before
crossing the checkpoint. Having been clear of all customs-requirements, please
assemble at a specific point as advised by the teacher.

2. Accommodation
The accommodation will be at homes of your hosts assigned to you according to gender.
Please do not encourage noise as there are other members of the family around.

3. Transport and seating

Upon clearing the Singapore immigrations, we will board an air conditioned Singaporean
coach to RVHS. Leave the first two rows for the guides and teachers. Please help to
identify your seating partner each time we board the coach to facilitate easy check on the
group-member.

25 of 35
4. Follow the facilitator/ teachers/ guide
At each community site, always follow the facilitator, guide and teacher. Due
consideration should be given to the slow-walker member. Should you depart from the
group, for any reason, please inform the facilitator and your teacher. Otherwise, much
time would be wasted searching for you.

5. Punctuality
It is important that every student adhere closely to the time schedule as advised by the
facilitator and guide. In this way, you will be able to cover all the highlights comfortably.
Your facilitator/host will advise you on details such as wake up time, breakfast time and
venue, meeting point and tour times, etc. If you are not certain of any of these
instructions, please check with your facilitator/host.

6. Security
Places you will be visiting and accommodation are generally safe. However, do take the
following precautions for your convenience.
. Lock your bags in the room whenever you leave for any activities
. Beware of pickpockets in crowded places
. If you are going out on alone, please inform your teacher and it is always better and
nicer to go in a group.
. Before you sleep or leave your room, please check that the door is properly-locked.

7. Local customs and food

You will find that services in some places are not as prompt as in Indonesian. Please
learn to be patient. In the event you feel frustrated, a smile will always work. It is not
advisable to drink water straight from the tap. If you are consuming drinks purchased
from outside the restaurant, please make sure that the ice cubes are safe to consume.

8. Telephone
If you are using your own mobile phone, you will require auto-roaming services. Please
check with your mobile service provider. Also, do note that SMS or auto-roam calls incur
higher charges. It is recommended that you check out the usage of ICC (international
calling card) before you leave Indonesia.

26 of 35
9. Time Difference
Singapore is an hour in advance of Indonesia time.

10. Checking-out
Check again to make sure that you do not leave any personal belongings behind. Also,
do ensure that the premise is clean before you leave. Last of all, thank your buddies and
their family for their kind hospitality during your period of stay.
