Depend on ths officer whose taking your paasport.. but this is the norm.. they will ask you to turn back and came backonce your passport is renew.. just make a confuse and sad face saying that you had an engagement in batam such as a friend wedding and ask if theres any he can help you.. they would then whisper to you to move one side .. place a $50 in theassport then come agn to him.. thats what hppn to me abt 8yrs ago.. but note im not sure how much they ginna ask fior now and also once you pass through the custom.. the cop given doesnt serve as a warranty.. if you are being spot check by another officer then it will be another cycle of the earlier event.. even when im coming back to spore.. the return officer ask me how much i gave to the arrival officer.. i just lied $20.. because he also wanted to ask of the same amount for himself but then he changed his mind and just tell me to go..
