Hi good people, just to wrap up this thread. A little late update, but everything went according to plan on my return to my country. Exactly one week after my original and complete interview, I boarded my plane April 15th. Escorted by two immigration officers. During this process, they said this normally takes longer time, but they were very helpful to find a solution so I could leave before Easter.
I must add that I was treated very well, and my total experience with the immigration in Medan, is a ten out of ten.
No fine was paid, as previously stated. The only fee paid, which has been added to their policy recently, is that I had to pay for the transport to the airport. In my case, a few hundred thousand rupiah, paid to the drivers (immigration officers).
However, a very interesting change in rules made recently as well, is this (I think it's worth noting for future cases):
Everyone deported for overstay, may be able to re-enter Indonesia, if he/she pays a fine of 60 million rupiah. This procedure must be done at the Indonesian embassy in their home country. Then their ban is lifted.
If so, they are back at square one, and can move forward as if they did pay this fine within the first 60 days of overstay in the first place.
Enjoy your summer, guys, I know I will, after these years of a personal nightmare.
Be safe, and don't overstay!
André
