Yes PR has very vulnerable grid. Transmission lines knocked down easily.

buenas tardes, I'm flying to SDQ wednesday night whats the current weather situation in Santo Domingo now? gracias!

Gracias, Cavok y XTraveller. Will start at DGM and figure out from there.

No, from my experience of 2 renewals. Havn't started looking at DGM site, as wanted to know if there is already a how-to, otherwise will read this entire thread and go from there.

Excuse me / Perdon, is there a thread for DOING PERMANENT RESIDENCY RENEWAL YOURSELF ? searched back to 2019, but its only about temporary, changing to permanent, or pensions otherwise will read this whole thread, its probably similar process, maybe less requirements (my permanent status...

Masks (and vaccines) should always be a PERSONAL choice, everyone has different health needs and risks

Thanks everyone. I used bottled for brushing teeth, hot water cooled down to wash fruits, then let dry in refrigerator asked the office, this building doesn't have water filtering (some do)

Hello all, sorry for not writing sooner. Was only in the DR for 3 days. Clinica Abreu referred me to CEDIMAT for the coronary calcio test. I'm glad they did because CEDIMAT has a large building dedicated to Cardiovascular and is "leading in Caribbean and Central America" Very clean and modern...

Um, MEX=Benito Juarez Airport, Mexico City Sounds like you flew SDQ-MIA-CUN Cancun is eastern Mexico and just below Florida. Doesn't make sense to have to change planes in Mexico City which is center-west.

Right, Guzman told me dont show the expired card, enter as Tourist. have a stack of cedulas. residency card always get exchanged at DGM

Well thats good to know the exact date. Mexican agents sometimes scribble the # of days which leads to problems. Glad I got residency.

also known as ZONA T. Andino Mall and fine upscale dining. COPA is the best airline for The Americas. Be aware of the temperature difference! went from 35 C to 10 C, had to ask hotel manager for a heater! sadly, Colombia currently requires vaccine card for entry.

Yet another reason for naturalization... but SDQ passport control always been quick... (compared to MEX 2 hrs, BOG 3 hrs)

Wonder if there is a time limit to recover your residency if you change your mind? Panama now has a procedure with 5-year limit to recover, since starting to enforce the 2-year out of country rule (Heard the only DR rule is 1-year if you want to naturalize)

Um, in that case you are officially a Tourist then? I always renew late, got sent to Foreigner line (back then) as well as buy the $10 card (Now included with airfare - I don't claim refund as its so small, consider it a donation to help the DR. On the other hand, Mexico is $40 and airlines...

One more reason to do that! Saturday 4PM, took 10 minutes. Longest wait was baggage and customs X-ray line They asked me for hotel address. seems like they didn't check E-TICKET ???

Banks always ask me for passport, probably the ultimate form of identification (for foreigners) No problem with expired cedula at hotel or claro
