Does anyone know who the DR consulate authorizes to issue a certificate in South Florida?
Unless something has changed, the medical exams are done in the DR only.
Unless I have incorrect information (this is what I read and was told to do by the consulate a good while ago), there are actually two medical exams. One from your country of residence, which has to be translated/legalized and sent to the immigration in SDQ. Then, once you are in the DR, you have to go the immigration, and take the second medical exam, only that this is much more comprehensive than the first one. In my case, the foreign embassy approved a simple letter from a general doctor in EU, stating that I have no known diseases and I?m in good health. The real tests would be done then in SDQ by the immigration.
Where are those blood tests and Xrays done? Can you get it in Puerto Plata or do you have to go to Santo Domingo? Figure I ask now instead of waiting until January. I am moving to Cabarete.
Migracion will make an appointment for you at their affiliated clinic in Santo Domingo when you get to that stage of the process. Sorry, has to be done by them*.
*Unless something changes-which has been know to happen from time to time.
Correct, which is why I was surprised to see you also now need a medical exam in your home country. Redundant.
I even had to go to Santo Domingo twice for residency renewal, because of the wait time to get the results of the medical exam at Migracion's dedicated location for such tests.
(Unless something changes.)
I believe the medical exam he is getting is for the residency visa (60 day) which is the first step in the process. Unfortunately that visa is required to be obtained in a persons home country under the new rules, so hence a certificate from one's own doctor.
