I entered the DR with a tourist card on May 24 2016.
My residencia temporal and cedula will expire on July 27 2016.
I had my interview for citizenship through matrimony on March 6 2016. Awaiting papers from Interpol (I think). I have not been able to reach anyone at MIP over the phone.
I am leaving the DR on Aug 13 2016 and will not return until end of December 2016.
I think my choices are as follows
1. Renew residency and cedula with all the costs involved incl the new insurance and wait till nationalization papers are in
or
2. exit the country Aug 13 hoping they dont notice my expired residency date. Enter the DR again in Dec with a tourist card and by then renew my residency if the nationalization papers are not yet in. Am I allowed to do the final step of naturalization with an expired residency and cedula or must I renew it first - at what penalty cost?
