The Migration Agency (DGM) has announced that on Tuesday, 9 January 2018, the second stage of the National Status Legalization Plan (PNRE) begins for the Non-Resident migratory category. This category was created primarily for the thousands of Haitians who have not been able to secure documentation from the Haitian government to complete their formal residency applications in the Dominican Republic.
The DGM explains that work will be carried out gradually by region. The PNRE reports 90,522 of the 252,407 who registered with the PNRE are in the eastern region and should be the first to begin the renovation procedures for permits that expired in July 2017. These should go to the provincial offices in San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, El Seibo and La Altagracia.Those who registered in Hato Mayor should go to the Governor’s office in El Seibo.
The next group will be those registered in southern provinces that will start on 15 January 2018. Those registered in northern provinces need to visit the DGM offices starting 22 January. And those registered in Santo Domingo and Monte Plata should start the process on 7 February at the main headquarters in Santo Domingo.
