Good advice. But in my case I had some personal business that I had to attend to in my home country that prevented me from renewing my residency on time this year. I could have obtained a Certificate of Good Conduct on the web while I was in my home country and my cedular was still valid, but...

Yes, the repatriation insurance is a simple purchase that can be handled entirely online. That's what I have always done in the past - just like with my Certificate of Good Conduct.

Thank you for explaining that. It's somewhat comforting to hear that this is normal procedure. But what I can't understand is why they couldn't have told me that to begin with after I presented all my documents instead of making me sit down and wait for 40 minutes before telling me that I need...

I am admittedly unfamiliar with the requirements to obtain citizenship but I thought you still had to secure residency first. Pehaps I am wrong. And then I understand you need to have an interview in Spanish to prove your fluency in the native language. I'm afraid I wouldn't impress anybody...

UPDATE: Although I am not the OP, I resurrected this seemingly dead thread a week ago with post #42 seeking assistance on how to get my Certificate of Good Conduct in order to renew my temporary residency for the 5th year. The government website where I always got it in the past was refusing to...

Actually that's exactly what I did for my first temporary residency. Never again. She screwed up nearly everything. It was a disaster. I've done everything myself ever since then with no regrets. But I don't disagree with what you are saying. Obviously I hired the wrong lawyer - lesson...

And of course it is only good for 1 year so you have to buy it every year that you renew your temporary residency.

Repatriation insurance is insurance to to pay for shipping your body back to your home country in case you get run over by a guagua or otherwise meet an untimely death. It's a scam but proof of this insurance from the Dominican government's designated provider is one of the documents that must...

Actually that might be the primary motivation for continuing this process. After everything that I've gone through for the previous 4 years, it seems too bad to give up and throw in the towel in the 5th year.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Maybe I will do that. In the meantime I have sent an email message to migracion explaining my situation and asking for their advice. I will post here if I get any response. In regards to the cost for renewing residency, I see that the 5000 peso application...

Thanks for the clarification. Upon further reflection I think you are right. I think all Banreservas does is give you a receipt for payment of the Certificate. But I already have that. The government website quickly charged my ATM card and issued me a receipt before advising me that they...

I asked the same question to my insurance a few ago before I began the residency process and before I had a Dominican drivers license. He told me that he had many clients without residency yet he had never encountered a problem with the insurance company denying a claim for those clients. He...

Thank you for the helpful comment. This is what I was hoping for. I will walk down to my local BanReservas to request a Certificate and simply present my passport. No mention of a cedula. And yes, I understand that there will be late fees when I submit my application.

Sorry but I beg to differ. I follow the rules to the letter and it has been far from easy. And I think it is obvious from the misadventures of others posted on this site about their residency experiences that I am not alone.

The only reason that I decided to go through this frustrating residency process is because I drive a car here in the DR and I fear my plight if I was ever involved in a serious motor vehicle accident that involves death or serious injury if I am here illegally. But if you don't drive a car and...

Ah, good point. I think you are correct. Not sure whether they are authorized to conduct business with non-Dominicans but probably worth a shot.

I am in Sosua. I should probably go the migracion office in Puerto Plata for advice but I try to avoid driving to Puerto Plata with that Cangrejo bridge still out. Either that or perhaps I will just walk down the street to BanReservas to request a Carta de Buena Conducta to see if the problem...

Thanks for the information and the web link. But this website states that the request for renewing expired temporary residency must be accompanied by a Certificate of Good Conduct. But the government website that issues these Certificates refuses to issue me a Certificate because my cedula has...

I realize that this is an old thread but I can't find any more recent information about expired residency, so here goes. Hopefully somebody can help. My temporary residency expired at the end of May this year while I was in the United States. I did not return to the Domincan Republic until...

Unfortunately no. The prosthetic legs were provided and installed by a charitable organization that provides prosthetics to poor Dominicans. https://www.centrodeprotesis.org/ I was able to get her fitted with the prosthetics by providing a with a donation to the Rotary Club in my hometown in...
