I'm not surprised that the rules/requirements to renew our Residence has changed again. We have been doing this for 20 years. But really?
We have never been able to fit into that short time frame of a longer period for renewal so we are at the 4 year mark to do it again. We had to submit ALL our original and new paperwork last time and have a med. 4 years ago.
1. Need docs submitted again. (hard to get some from our "home" country since it's been 20 years. Submit old ones.)
2. We provide passport type photos. ??
3. MUST show up for the Med. appointment that they give us at 1 of 2 places that they don't know yet. The one 4 years ago?? does not count.
4. Wait 10 days or ??? and MUST pick up the new Residence IN PERSON. We had our atty. do it one time in the past. As with everything here... 10 days means.... HOW MANY DAYS before it is actually available?
5. (I have NO idea about costs. But I'll bet it ain't gonna be cheap.)
Anyone else done this in the LAST FEW MONTHS?
Thanks.
