I have tried to find this info on previous residence card threads to no avail.
Just curious, exactly what are the benefits of having a Residence Card?
When I opened my account at Banco Popular, had utilities put in my name, credit established at a furniture store, a local Visa credit card, credit at Claro for a new Apple 3Gs touch phone, NOBODY was concerned in the least if I had a residence card. NOBODY even wanted to look at it.....
The only benefit I can see is not having to pay anything when you leave the country.
So, why have there been so many threads looking for information about getting one?
It appears that they are not really necessary......
