If you get a 60 day tourist visa BEFORE you leave your home country you CAN have it extended IN BALI up to 6 months in total..just like a social visa
*Note I am talking about Bali and not Surabaya, Jakarta etc
Whether it is illegal or not does not change the fact that it has been happening since about 2006 in Bali in the open without any 'dodgy' type of activity
You can pay the standard fee at Immigration yourself or use an agent at greater cost
And yes I know strictly speaking by the letter of the law if you wish to stay for longer than 60 days you should apply for a social visa.
Perhaps to stop the confusion they should never have changed the tourist visa number/code to a 211, the same as a social visa.
Leaves it open..
