Bintan, Administrative regency in Riau Islands, Indonesia

The Bintan Regency spans across 273 islands within the Riau archipelago, including the Tambelan Archipelago and Badas Islands, covering 2,045 square kilometers.

The regency underwent significant administrative changes in 1999 when several regions split to form new territories, including Karimun and Natuna, followed by Tanjung Pinang in 2001.

The population of 175,873 residents includes several ethnic communities, with Islam representing 87 percent of religious practices across the ten administrative districts.

The Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport connects the region, while ferry services from Singapore provide direct access to Bandar Bentan Telani and Sri Bintan Pura terminals.

The territory maintains jurisdiction over multiple islands while sharing Bintan Island with the independently administered city of Tanjung Pinang.
