OK- I have been here 4 years (with regular trips back to the States) and have decided to stay. I want to get a car. So I will have to get a Dominican drivers license, right? So I will have to get a Dominican cedula, right? In order to have insurance, right? And then I will have to renew that residency every two years? And pay a tax? I have done a search and scan on this but am still a bit confused.
So can you help me out?
I figure that it will cost me about US $1200 for the lawyer (Guzman) for the residencia, is that the going rate? (and if someone has a lawyer who does it for less, please PM me).. Then how much will it cost every year? And how many years do I have to renew this for? Why am I doing this????? (OK, as you can see, I am going to need a lawyer since the mere thought of this process has me all twisted up!!)
OK, then, assuming that I ever get together the half a zillion bucks to buy a used SUV here (ok, say $12k US)-- can anyone give me an idea of how much it will cost to insure it? First to just insure it for liability, then for replacement?
Thanks -- I know this went into two topics.... let?s stick with the residencia... I don?t have the half a zillion right now anyway....something about a small stock crash.... in a distant land....
