If they keep going like this I'll lose a whole year by 2387 AD.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Plus, the police working at the airport all know nothing, and if you don't have a flight you get treated as some kind of terrorist, and told to go to yet another place, probably on National Rd 1.

I do my own visa extensions. I had submitted my extension paperwork 3 weeks ago and was returning on the date they told me it would be ready.
Yea the Immigration Officers at the airport and at the DoI HQ on NR.1 have nothing to do with Visa Extensions of Stay, don't waste your time, the Visa Office is the only place that deal with EOS's.

That's why I questioned why they couldn't document the 'new rule', since I was at the main immigration office across from the airport. It's just that the guy there told me if I wanted to see the new rule, I'd have to go across to the airport and speak with someone there (who would not have it either).

You never know, maybe you’re accruing credit, and the Visa Office will surprise you with no charge for your 2388 AD EOS.🤞🏻
