      Example Reply:

      I’m currently on a Tourist Visa, extended every 2 months for the past year. Costs around β‚±3,000 per renewal. Just applied for the ACR card (β‚±1,500). Considering switching to an SRRV but nervous about the bank deposit requirement.

      ⚠️ Note: This is not legal advice. We’re just sharing experiences. Please verify anything important with BI (Bureau of Immigration) or a trusted lawyer.
