Some incorrect advice here.
You DO have to do all the medical stuff again including another chest x-ray.
And secondly, you can not start the process until your temporary expires.
It is the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard but I couldn't make an appointment until my temp expired. You would think that there would be a window so that for the in between months you would have a valid ID but not the case. I was told to keep my expired cedula and they took my residency card.
It takes about 6 months. I have been waiting about 5.
I am not traveling until I get my residency card so I can tell the tax thieves at the airport where the can put the 20 dollar entry fee.
The last time I came back I showed them my valid cedula and that was not good enough, they wanted to see my residency card, I was furious because the only real benefit I see by having a Dominican ID is to save a lousy 10 or 20 dollars at the airport !
