Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

The sponsor must have an account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and applies for the visa there by submitting the foreigner's electronic files; the page also describes applications at the Indonesian Representative Office and at the Directorate General of Immigration; processing takes five working days after the visa payment is received. The stay permit can be extended several times up to 180 days, online by the sponsor through the sponsor's registered account, and can be converted into a temporary stay permit with the same sponsor.
