Hi to all.
Having now done the mandatory searches and enquiries with lawyers etc it seems there is something many people seem to miss out when quoting the $1,000 - $1,500 cost for residency. Namely, that the initial fee is in many cases just for the 12 month Temporary residency.
Many lawyers charge the same again to handle the 'Permanent' application 12 months later.
Anyone embarking on this route should get it clear from the start what it is they will be getting for their money - everyone I seemed to speak to seemed reluctant to go into too much detail beyond the initial Temp residency application.
For anyone considering such a move I found a Lawyer in SDO - perfect English, Office on the North Coast (Sosua) and will deal with the lot from start to finish for $1,200. Anyone needing contact details please PM me.
Hope this helps.
Chris
