I would double check, it may come back to bite you, especially if you have an accident or legal problems here. They love looking for loop holes, especially if money is involved

The Virginian,
If you are in or close to Santiago, the Immigration office there is very helpful and friendly.
Work should already have been started on getting the permanent residency, it takes a while for all the work to be completed and processed.
The permanent residency is much easier then the temporary, paper work wise. Lawyers are not really necessary, but do what ever makes you more comfortable. I did my own and I don´t even speak conversational Spanish (.. as some would say here, I don´t speak Spanish).
It was very easy to do.

Nobody asked you to post it on here!
That is an official JCE website, have you renewed it, if you did sin problemas it is real, if not, ya may have a piece of plastic with your name on it. (Go to the Police Station and have them run it...assuming you know an officer)
Just a heads up, there are many fake ones issued without a medical.

It is much cheaper, and better, we have a cuña in the immigration office in la capital, hey, when in Rome...

We're using an example letter the local immigration office provided. We will meet with the lawyer to sign it tomorrow, all for RD500.

Current validity period of permanent residency and cedula question
Hating to make trips to the city of Santo Domingo if I can avoid it, I have a few questions:
1) What is the current validity period for a renewed permanent residency card? Is it still one year?
2) What is the current validity period for a Cedula?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Banreserva could handle those two items like they can the licenses for firearms? Nah, that would make far too much sense.

2) What is the current validity period for a Cedula? Mine was reissued in 2006 and expires on my birthday in 2010. The rules may have changed on this.

Many government processes have been streamlined under the current administration.

JCE not showing my cedula number
Thanks for the response on validity dates of Residency for 2 years and Cedulas.
I previously verified my Cedula on the JCE site and no longer can. They must have the data base set only to citizens. I couldn't find another place to verify cedulas for us non-citizens.

When Hippo left office, and all his thieves in the administration (incl. immigration) knew that they would have problem to rob anymore, we bought our Residencies. We got the permanent right away. We had to go there, photo taken, information in their system. They asked for blood type, that was it... 5 minutes, 800 dollars, no medical, nada, and no need to go back a year later. Two weeks later we had the residencies (permanent ones) and cedulas. Remember though that u need long pants to enter the office, at that time some baracks.
