And, as been pointed out, it sometimes depends on day, person, weather, what is required. It's the DR...

drSix,
for the Residency-Visa no rides over a border, to get a stamp, necessary. the residency visa is valid for a specific time frame, during that time frame the holder of that visa is obliged to follow the given procedures here to get the temporal residency done. to let the given time frame to apply for the residency/follow the procedure expire, would mean to be flagged by immigrations. crossing a border with that same passport would just tell 'em where the person is. what then would happen, i have no idea. but those residency visas come with a certain given timeline to get the residency process running.

Well, I did say maybe. OP was looking for options. Conjecture is to be expected.
Wow. No kidding. I was not aware before of the part that says "federal" and with fingerprints. I got by with it - just a letter from the local police chief - not federal. But that doesn't mean the DR does not have any and all relevant information on me. Everything from the U.S. is available if someone wants it - especially the government, I am sure.
I just thought "competent authority of the country" was open to interpretation. It is, without the part that follows in parenthesis. Ignorance is bliss...
