Well it's that time again to renew our Permanent Residencia and I can't tell you how excited we are to go through this again!!! NOT! We pretty much have a plan (thanks to DR1) and I will report back as to our progress later.
Here is a potential problem. Our "Perms" just expired a couple months ago. My wife left the country for a month and when she returned her Perm had just expired. I read "here" about Migration and Customs confiscating an expired Residencia cards while entering the country...and that's exactly what happened to her. (On a side note, we took a trip to Panama and only brought our valid Cedulas to the airport. No problem leaving or re-entering the Republic)!
Next week we will begin the 1st steps of the process and will be obtaining the Letter of Good Conduct (we will do ourselves) and the letter of Guarantee...(we will use a lawyer for this). I have my physical Residencia card and Cedula, but she only has her Cedula. Does anyone see a "catch 22" here if she does not possess the physical Residencia card or even a copy of it? Anyone been down this road?
Thanks in advance! Stay Tuned!
