The Solution:

1. Get a multiple-entry Business Visa B-212
2. After 60 days - make a border run to get another 60 days (check AirAsia chep flights)
3. Make again step 2. up to 6 times, so you will get 420 days straight
4. Get a new Business Visa

What if I want to work in Indonesia? 

The best legal way is to apply for a KITAS if you have a company - it is easy, if not - open PT or PMA first.
