I understand that in order to get the extension one had to go to the immigration department with the ticket and airline letter in hand to get a chop in the passport conferring a fourteen day 'force majeure' extension. Have seen a couple of passports with this chop. I suppose the rule is 'no chop, no extension'. Poor execution and communication by the immigration department.
I also understood that was the process and agree it was poorly communicated.
Nevertheless...to be hassled when there's enough evidence from the airline ticket and the obvious facts I think Immigration were unsupportive and mean.
If this info is widely known and Indonesians complain because tourists don't return.....some blame may be attributed to Immigration and policies may change.....maybe!
