How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The C18 visa is a single-entry visit visa with an initial stay permit of maximum 60 days from arrival. The stay permit can be extended and can be converted into a Limited Stay Permit (ITAS) with the same sponsor. However, the page also states a maximum stay of 90 days and that the stay permit cannot be extended, creating a contradiction. The visa validity is 90 days from issuance.

The source does not state the normal duration of any extension or the conditions for extension.
The source does not describe the longer-term residence direction beyond stating conversion to ITAS is possible; no details on ITAS duration or requirements are provided.
