You're an imbecile dude, multiple people trying to explain to you that you've got yours because you've applied BEFORE the current cut-off date...and seriously, how lazy and helpless one has to be to use an agent for something which can be fixed independently without any effort except of filling few forms and glueing a picture to one of them??And after that you call people slow...
'as it makes one so inflexible to travel on' you're applying for extension of stay not because you want to travel around, but because you can't go back to your country yet, right? 😉 Shouldn't be a big deal then...
No i am not, i'm just sharing my experience...you want to be sure, go to the immigration office and ask, that's what u have to do actually, rather than relying on some strangers' advice...
