I hope the people in the regularization program get cedulas. I would not say the DR is mostly middle class at all. Cashless society means more taxes for the government and the governments ability to take money through forfeitures at will or whim. No system like this can eradicate corruption...it will concentrate power into a few people who are divorced from the everyday life of the citizens....imho.

a little update here:
http://www.listindiario.com/la-repu...-fecha-definira-el-estatus-de-miles-haitianos

those, who were given one year permits need to present themselves at migracion with the police check, pass medical tests and pay 14,000 pesos for their temporary residency permit.

once their card expires and they did not follow the process their status will be considered as illegal and they will be subject to deportation.

I hope that people who were regularized also get residency. But I have yet to see anything that guarantees anyone with a one year or two year regularization permit will get a cedula. How is it fair that the people with one year permits have to apply and pay for residency and the ones with two year permits automatically get cedulas?

I have only seen articles written that talk about regularization as buying time for those to qualify for, apply for and become residents with the main benefit that it can be done here in the DR.

The way I read that article it doesn't sound like nobody is getting nothing for free. It says those in the plan have to get a medical and pay $RD14,000 - which is what I think is the gov. fee for anyone who applies for residency(?).

There is no way in hell all of the Haitians who regularized can afford to pay 14,000 pesos for
a temporary residency permit. Sounds to me like the government is going to start deporting
a lot more people (Haitians) in the next couple of months.

Nor do I have an extra 14,000 pesos to pay for such a thing! If that was all it took to become legal, mebbe so, but add in the cost of travel abck and forth to SD and etc, as well as a physical and all the other BS including a balance in the local bank of several thousand pesos as has been stated.

You forgot to mention that 130,000 haitians have to go to Migration before July 18, "ALSO" to deposit the pending documents ! (surely the document not filed at the time to get the card !!!!) as wrote in the LD news...

All part of the plan.

The last time I had to take the medical exam it wast $4,500 pesos which would bring the cost up to $18,500 RD if that is required and not already part of the $14,000 RD mentioned above. If the $1,000 RD insurance policy is needed then we are at $19,500 RD.

And that doesn't include the cost of a medical. I think I paid at least $200 USD about 8 months ago(?). Total government fees were over $700 USD.

Finally got it to open today .... my status is "Entregado" ---- I called JCE in SD, they said with the letters from MIP I also should bring passports and blood type verification. If married, your married license.

@Floridaborn just a small question - when you enrolled in the National Reorganization Plan you submitted them all the required documents or just a part ?

I gave them what was required from each category... they said ok we don't need anything else. And I haven't heard from them until this week to pick up a letter that said I was approved, go to SD.

Will the insurance policy also be required to apply for residency?

I would surmise that those who applied for and received the 2 years regularization stamp, if they are in fact getting cedulas and residency out of the process, will not be required to secure the new "repatriation/guarantor insurance".

They will probably have to purchase this insurance at the time of their first residency renewal. We'll just have to wait and see what happens when someone who has been called to SD for their cedula reports back on what transpires.

All of you seem to be assuming that the process for "regularized" folks will be the same as it is for those who apply through the normal procedures. From what I have read, based on the limited postings from 2 year people who are being summoned to SD, there is clearly a parallel process in play. Maybe they don't need a medical, or guarantor insurance or some of the other things that other normal applicants still need.

It doesn't surprise me that those who made use of the program are being fast tracked to get their names off the list. I suspect they are getting 1 year temp residency. If some of these people are in fact not human, suffer from gringoitis or are hopelessly addicted drug addicts, this will be be found out at their first renewal and at that time the guarantor insurance will pay for their ticket home.

<any semblance to reality is purely coincidental>

I don't think you are getting totally accurate/complete information(?). Blood type verification is not required for residency or cedula.

It's only "required" if you wish to have your blood type shown on your cedula. Otherwise, you do not need it and your cedula will be issued without the blood type on it.
