The official eVisa fee is not fixed in the database, but typically ranges from $50 to $100 USD depending on the type and duration. Check the official immigration website for the exact amount when you apply.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before the visa expires. If you need a longer stay, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before travelling.
