the cedula will since a couple years Always match the residency date, yes.
my cedula renewed in 2011 also already matched the 10 years expiration date of my residency.
on the price listings of the Immigrations page i do not find the definitive residency listed, nor the 10 years renovation, i only found that the normal renewal of a permanent residency costs 12.000.- pesos, that would be for the usual 4 years.
when i renewed (in 2011) i paid for the 10 years renewal 20.000.- pesos plus 1.000.- for the VIP service, so i got it the same day(a good hour later or so).
i called a friend, as Navy working for Immigrations at the PC airport, he told me even not listed, it will not be a problem to get on my next renewal the 10 years time frame again, it would always be possible to do so even if not officially offered by the immigrations page. that was the first nice notice, lol. he said the costs for the 10 years renewal is still the same 20.000.- pesos, VIP also is the same 1.000.- pesos.
he knopws that the definitive residency exists, but he does not know the price nor does he know if it can be done prior to expiration of my actual residency. and other point interested to know would be how long the cedula with a definitive residency is valid each turn and if such definitive residency never again needs any renewal??
he could not answer those questions. he is not working in any department for residencies with Immigrations, he is the guy in charge of the deportations via PC airport and he often runs the group searching for drugs at the airport when they get "notice/intelligence" about specific persons or a specific flight with such aboard.
ju10prd,
where did you find the 20K price listed, i couldn't find it on their website. that would be the same price i paid for the 10 years renewal. if i remember correctly the 10 years cedula been somewhere around 3 or 4K pesos for the 10 years(unsure on the price for cedula, sorry).
