FYI: my embassy sent an email; $ 10 for an extension?!

The mail came too late. I had already paid hundreds of Dollars to an agent.

Those who haven't paid for their extension yet?  Can someone please corroborate this claim by my embassy?

A friend called the Immigration and he quoted something almost as high as agents' quotes.

Q: Has anyone paid considerably less? Has another European received the same information from their embassy? They explain the agents' fees with them having to pay for our illness, just in case. Like there is a hidden health insurance involved).

I extended mine for a month at immigration for $10
It depends in part what vusa you have already. Mine was a three month tourist visa but also have a VEC which i cannot use because i need to exit to validate
