No, I just don't go often to Santiago. The residency card is not used for anything but entering or leaving the country. I will pick it up before I leave again.

How much was the P-R renewal fee before August 2012 ?

Apparently - this is not first hand info - the office in Punta Cana is working well, with hardly any waiting time, and there is a doctor and x-ray machine onsite. Will ask about fingerprint machine. Applicants and renewers need to go to Higuey for the Police report (buena conducta). A friend was supposed to be renewing this week so I'll ask her how it went.
I just picked up my residency card in Santiago on Thursday September 27, 2012. I had paid for it on June 19, 2012. It is dated August 8, 2012 and is valid until August 8, 2014. Price was $RD 4,100 for the 2 year card and a form. Renewing for 4 years was not possible when I did my renewal, but then nothing other than paying for it and two trips to Santiago were needed. My card was probably waiting for me for about 6 weeks in Santiago.
I asked Eva, who currently handles residency renewals in that office, what is going to happen for my next renewal and she said do not worry about that now. She thought that in two years things will almost certainly be different.
For Matilda: If the new rules stay in place when you need to renew, as far as we know now you will have to go to Santo Domingo twice and go through all of the "new rules" currently required paperwork, medical exam, etc. in Santo Domingo. Eva's office in Santiago is very small and does not even have a finger print scanner or camera. I do not see Eva's office expanding to handle what currently needs to be done in Santo Domingo. (Eva's office is part of another government office concerning Dominican business development. )
damn, i went to renew my residency in santiago in august, cannot remember the date, there was a thread about it. still waiting for the pickup, nearly two month - if not exactly two month - later.
paid 4.100 pesos and was told no other option but a two year renewal.
will let you know how things develop, i'm gonna have my mother in law call to inquire about it tomorrow. her name should strike fear in their feeble hearts....

I believe the deadline was August 8th (Or there about).
When Eva was on vacation her boss told me I needed the receipt.
Her boss ASKED me for it and said I needed it to get my card.
Typical responses here, all depends on who you talk to.
