Mic, the link is not for the tourist card the way I read it. The section under tourist card can be opened in English. I could not read the information on your link as it does not convert to english so I am probably wrong with my theory.
I went to Telkomsel head office in Denpasar (opposite Ramayama) they reactivated my expired card (only by 10 days) I was going again in 3 months and inquired about extending the expiry date for that 3 months. No chance. The girl told me the date does not get extended unless it is renewed in the 10 to 12 before expiry.
I purchased a 50,000rp scrstchie re-charge card in Kuta to keep in my wallet. I had to use it to re-charge or run out of credit. It was 14 days before expiry. It did not extend the expiry.
An extra 2,000rp to 5,000rp for locals to enter the recharge is very little but helps them financially.
4 weeks and 2 days to go
