WARNING: Creates artificial scarcity!
I asked for a covid extension and the price doubled (from previous extension) for no reason other than "immigration officer". I was also told there were no long term options for a visa extension due to "immigration officer". I was told there were no solutions and that I would have to leave the country! What kind of business is this, "visa agents" that cannot get visas? Anyway, I was able to do this myself in 3 hours for a fraction of the cost, there were no shortage of immigration officers, they stamped it with no problems!
