This Thread is for PERMANENT RESIDENCY RENEWAL and was started in July 2014. There is an excellent thread for Temporary Residency Renewal (thank you Expat-in-Cabarete and those who posted). I didn't see one for Permanent so I'm creating one. If there is one, please just say and I post there.
Tomorrow I head to Santo Dominigo to renew my Permanant Residency. I will keep track of the process and report back to this thread. Hopefully it will be a help to all of you.
I will be renewing residency for my wife and I and our two teenagers. My wife and I have each obtained our Letter of Buena Conducta. This cost 330 pesos each and was done in La Vega. This letter was not needed for our teenagers. We also obtained the Letter of Guarantee (one letter for the whole family). We had a lawyer prepared the Letter of Guarantee and the lawyer also got the Letters of Buena Conducta. In total these letters cost $82 (including taxes to Bank of Reservas).
Tomorrow we expect to pick up the application (100ps per person). We will pay the taxes for 1 month since our residency expired 10 days ago (350ps per person?). And we will get our medical exam (US$110 per person?).
Questions:
1. We have a car. Does anyone know the address for the building where you get your medical exam and x-ray?
2. I think the price on the medical exam may be less for our teenagers. Anyone know?
3. My entire family is going tomorrow for the medical exam. Is it necessary for my whole family to go on the second visit? Do they use the submitted photo's to make the card or do they take a new one?
I will update/correct this as I go along. If you see an error, please correct it too. Please help out by providing your experience with details.
As I said, I hope this will help others in the same way the other thread is a huge help.
