Bobby Dell Haney you can try to extend each entry one time by a further 180 days but effectively its similar to applying all over again, immigration make it very difficult to get the extension. You can not stay 5 years and never leave that is totally wrong, you can only extend once per entry but see above
Chris Pul I doubt that's what they are trying to say. Reads more like they are suggesting transferring money to a friend and the friend withdrawing the money and giving it to you
No, you show up at the immigration office that serves the area where you live ie where your landlord or hotel has filed a TM30 registration in your name
I'd be surprised if immigration accept that. Follow the instructions on the Wise FAQ "How can I get a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer?"
