If one visits Bali regularly a friend(or someone you know reasonably well) can sponsor you.The renewal before 60 days costs 250,000 rupiah if done by yourself at Immigration at Renon.This may take 4 or 5 visits by the time they play around but it really is a good experience if boredom has set in & you'd like to see 1st hand how the system doesn't work well.After 3 renewals you should be able to breeze through it.
The alternative of course is the agent who will charge between say 500,000 to 1,200,000 depending on how shonky it is done.The cheaper option usually is the better.High charges are caused by overheads here meaning undertables thus higher price.
