Residencia definitiva - renewal process
I´m going to ask the bank to address the letter to say, I, with cedula #xxxxxxxxxx have that amount.
The letter actually states :
Carta de Banco donde indique tiene un balance en los ultimos seis meses de mas de CIEN MIL PESOS (RD$100,000.00).
They might reject you for 100,000.00 instead of having 100,000.01 pesos or more.
(Don´t laugh, look at the property requirement)
They photo copied it lopsided, not me.... lol
UPDATE
I sent in the letter to request "Residencia Definitiva" on March 26th 2018.
One day short of two months Immigracion called and said the authorization letter had arrived (May 25th 2018).
Funny thing is, I was there in the morning asking about it and they had not received it.
It must have came in the day's dispatch from Santo Domingo.
They called me in the afternoon.
I will go back to Immigracion in Santiago on Monday to pick it up.
I am assuming it was approved, since they told me two months ago that I qualified.
Tomorrow marks exactly 45 days before expiration of my current residency card.
We are allowed to file for renewal 45 days in advance of expiration.
How's that for perfect timing?
Note: The request was filed at the Santiago office of Immigracion, I did not have to go to Santo Domingo.

If it's the same as the citizenship applic
Joint ownership works but needs the second signature
The letter states that the property title must be "solomente in nombre del extraniero"
Citizenship says the same - but
as usual, there are ways they get around problems.
I asked this question for my application
And that was the answer - another signature req'd
The rules read the same --- 100,000 pesos, car, property, etc

Does anyone have any idea how strict they are likely to be on this 18 month still to run on the passport? The timing on this is all wrong for me as to how it fits with a trip back to England etc. and trying to replace my passport ahead of time to comply with this etc. I will have about a year still to run when I need to renew my residency. I realized you cannot buy a return ticket and renew the passport while you are there because you have to register your passport number when booking and it would be different on my return. So many things to take into account....
I'm sorry if anyone has already answered this, but I couldn't see it. Is there maximum time that you can deposit the request letter ahead of the 45 days for the residency renewal? I'm going to be traveling in the middle of all of this and it would be good to get the letter in well ahead of time if it can take two months to get a reply.
45 days in advance is my understanding.
I usually complete the paperwork w/ my lawyer in advance and she deposits when the time line arrives.
Doing exactly this now for my wife.
Paperwork done in April, filing was done June 3.
Advance work is letter, photos, passport copies , etc

I sent in my letter for permission of getting the Residencia Definitiva 2 months before the 45 days (3 1/2 months before expiration of residencia). Got my approval 45 days before expiration.
Linda... the 45 days is for regular residency -- Definitiva might be different
Sorry to confuse the two

45 days also for Residencia Definitiva.
She was asking about how long before expiraration can she request the approval for Residencia Definitiva.
I applied for permission 3 1/2 months prior.
It takes about 2 months to get approval letter back, so start early.
3 1/2 months -- cannot submit that early for regular renewal -- says my lawyer
45 days prior to expiry is what she does
No starting earlier than 45 in my regular case

Thank you, all, you didn't confuse me, William. Yes, the letter asking for approval to change from permanent to definativa has to be deposited in good time to get the permission back to apply online for the residency renewal (whatever type) 45 days in advance of its expiry.
I wasn't sure if there was a time condition on the letter, but this has answered my question, thanks. I will deposit it two months in advance of the 45 days, hoping that by then they will still accept it in Puerto Plata. I'm looking at around mid-August, so I will keep you all posted, also on the passport expiration issue, which could be a stumbling block, but hoping that this is another obstacle we can get round
Does anyone know if the online application can be started and saved ahead of time, or does it all have to be done in one hit at the 45 days? I know a friend had some problems with this but I wondered if anyone had tried lately.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I've waded through all these posts and cannot find the link for the online application form. I've created an account here: https://portal.servicios.pgr.gob.do/ but still can't see anything about residency renewal. Help, please! Am I in the wrong place?
