It don't think that is true.
Normally you get a 421 (Social Visa) and it's valid for 2 months, and it can be extended up to 6 months, in Bali....

Selamat datang!
No. You can get a 60 day tourist visa.
In the past they have refused to accept applications for the 60 day tourist visa if you are staying 30 days or less in which case you have to queue for the Visa on Arrival.

It's never been easy to get accurate information about Indonesian visas. Different foreign posts often give conflicting advice. It's like the right-hand doesn't know what the left-hand is doing.

What this doesn't make clear is whether you can extend it 4 more times after you're in Indonesia (like you could before, with the "old" Social Visa).
From past personal experiences, I always found the Melbourne Indonesian officials to be friendly, helpful, polite and on the ball. I hope that hasn't changed. If I were you, I'd ask them to clarify the current situation.
Good luck. And let us know what you find out.

Looking at my 211 visa it is a visit visa valid for 2 months with no extensions. It is NOT a social Budaya visa
