Hey just a quick question,
I did the renewal process online & they approved it and provided me a cover letter to print and bring in with my documents, but there's no mention of how many copies they need?
As is written a few posts before this, this is an old thread that should be closed because things have changed. If you go back to the immigration website, somewhere it tells you how many copies. If you can't find it, just take a few copies to be safe.
yes it says absolutely nothing about copies or cost. They just gave me a cover letter with my name and says which window to go to.
During the last renewal, counsel obtained a statement from my DR bank which indicated that funds enter and leave the DR account every month. It satisfied DGM. Counsel explained that such satisfied DR law to the DGM official. This is ANOTHER reason why I employ capable counsel. Additionally, counsel obtained a statement from the DR bank that gave the entire amount of funds in the USD denominated DR bank account. The aforementioned DGM official asked for this too, although such was not listed in the requirement notice. It was a mere inconvenience, as it was necessary to return to the DR bank to get the statement. It only took 15 minutes or so, and, of course, counsel handled the matter. This is why I use Guzman Ariza. This would have annoyed me if I did it myself, and I would not have been able to explain how what we gave satisfied DR law.Not surprising, but it looks like there's a new requirement for renewal. As recently as a month or so ago, I didn't see that there(?):
8.2. EN CASO DE QUE EL SOLICITANTE SEA JUBILADO O PENSIONADO, ADEMÁS DE LA PÓLIZA DE GARANTÍA, DEBERÁ ENTREGAR UNA CERTIFICACIÓN BANCARIA DONDE INDIQUE EL MONTO QUE RECIBE DEL GOBIERNO, ORGANISMO OFICIAL O EMPRESA PRIVADA DE ORIGEN EXTRANJERO DONDE PRESTABA SUS SERVICIOS, DEBIDAMENTE TRADUCIDA AL ESPAÑOL POR UN INTÉRPRETE JUDICIAL. DICHA CERTIFICACIÓN DEBERÁ CONTENER LOS DATOS GENERALES DEL SOLICITANTE, ESPECIALMENTE SU NÚMERO DE PASAPORTE Y DE DOCUMENTO NACIONAL DE IDENTIDAD DEL PAÍS DE ORIGEN, TIEMPO QUE PERMANECIÓ EN LA EMPRESA, CARGO DESEMPEÑADO Y EL MONTO PERCIBIDO COMO PENSIÓN O JUBILACIÓN, DE LA CUAL DISPONDRÁ PARA SU MANUTENCIÓN EN LA REPUBLICA DOMINICANA.
Has anybody provided this info yet? My bank statement in the US shows my SSA deposit, but not sure what kind of "certification" I can get and the statement sure doesn't have any of the info they seem to be asking for. The bank definitely doesn't have my passport info. More confusion from DGM.

cavok, you know as well as I and many others on this board that the situation that I encountered may simply be (1) a one-time event, (2) a new philosophy, or (3) the exercise of discretionary authority by one, particular DGM official. In any case, as I know that you know, one must be ready to comply immediately so as to continue toward the ultimate goal: Get the renewal or citizenship done.Ok, thanks. It doesn't seem to make any sense to have to report social security or a pension every renewal, but it is what it is. Typical DGM. You're the first to have reported this change.

I encountered the most issues--and they really were not that bad--when I went from temporary to permanent residency. Now, I utilize Guzman Ariza, and the firm really helped me to understand the process and what to expect.Was yours a temporary residency renewal? I just deposited my documents at DGM in Puerto Plata and no bank information was required(?).
What if you are under 30 days late starting the temporary renewal process? This is the 2nd time renewing.
You can't start until 30 days before your expiration date. The longer you wait to start, the higher the chances are you are not going to get a date before expiration and you'll have to pay a 500 peso late fee.
Item # 4 of the online "Application for Renewal of Temporary Residence" shows Carta de Solicitud (Application Letter ) as being required to upload. Is there any specific format or data required ? Has anyone done this ?
If a late fee is all there is thats fine, we cant start till approx 3-4 weeks after expiration, we will be away and can’t get back on time
