The idea of this thread is to stir up animosity towards the DR's "unfair and illogical" methods of applying its immigration laws. Or at least thats what most expats weary of the new laws would have us believe through this thread.

I do not have any information except on Haitians.. who are, I believe the major group that is the issue here... and many Haitians who have been resident here legally for years are simply not having their cedulas renewed. That is a known policy within the government and most Haitians understand that.

I do not understand why it is that so many ex pats of means get so upset about their residency papers. I have yet to ever be asked for my residency papers or cedula.

As far as I can see it is most useful for a driving license and getting in and out of the airport with no fees. Plus, of course, those who need to work here.
