Dear Mr. Guzman,
My husband is retired from the U.S. Navy since 2003 and began a new employment with another job in 2005 we are thinking of moving to the D.R. and have him apply for his temporary DR residency when we vacation there next month to get the ball rolling before permanently moving down in December. He is concerned that if he becomes a temporary resident to save being taxed on our household goods as well as being able to reside in the D.R. that it will void his ability to apply for and receive Social Security from the U.S. once he reaches eligible age. Is this true or false? And if he comes down with all his documents with the apostille certification and everything and begins the process in March will he have his paperwork by Nov/Dec so he can ship our furnishings duty free? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
