As I wanted to extend my stay, I called the immigration office and they told me that it would be impossible to extend a tourist visa and I had to go out of the country to Singapore. So I contacted a few travel agents and most of them said I could extend my visa for from Rp 1.5 million to Rp 2 million.",
