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

After registering, the sponsor applies for the C15 visa online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id with the foreigner's electronic documents; processing takes five working days after the visa fee is received. The stay can be extended online by the sponsor and can be converted to a limited-stay permit (ITAS) with the same sponsor.
