Migración dispone renovación de estatus migratorio en línea
SANTO DOMINGO.- Con el objetivo de optimizar los servicios que ofrece, la Dirección General de Migración (DGM) dispuso que a partir del ocho (8) de mayo los servicios de renovación de residencia temporal y permanente serán realizados exclusivamente en línea a través de su portal web, y podrán realizar el pago correspondiente por la misma vía.
La institución informó que la nueva modalidad se enmarca dentro del programa gubernamental República Digital, que permitirá a los usuarios realizar sus servicios a través de la página web www.migracion.gob.do y pagar la tasa administrativa con tarjetas de crédito o debito, Visa o Mastercard.

De acuerdo al comunicado de prensa de la DGM, el nuevo proceso evitará a los usuarios acudir a la institución para depositar la documentación al solicitar la renovación de estatus migratorio, ya que los mismos deberán escanearse y ser cargados al portal web de la DGM.
Los solicitantes deberán accesar a la página web de migración, seleccionar el servicio, llenar los formularios en línea y escanear los documentos, pasaporte, cédula y carnet vencido o por vencer.
Indica que luego de recibir los documentos en línea, los mismos serán verificados y posteriormente el sistema emitirá al usuario un aviso de pago, el cual deberá hacerse con tarjeta de crédito o debito.
Una vez realizado el pago correspondiente, el usuario deberá dar click en el botón COMPLETAR EL PROCESO, para que el mismo se registre en la DGM y se genere la cita. Este es un paso importante que no debe ser omitido.
Completado el proceso y realizado el pago correspondiente para la obtención del carnet, el usuario procederá a depositar en la sede de la DGM, con previa notificación, el recibo o volante de pago que le proveerá el sistema con el día y hora de la cita

it may pose a problem

English language version of the above:

Santo Domingo.- No more paperwork to renew temporary and permanent residence as of May 8, when it will be processed exclusively online through the Immigration Directorate website, the agency said on Monday.

“The payment will be made in the same way,” Immigration said in a statement.

“The new process will prevent users from going to the institution to deposit the documentation when requesting the renewal of their immigration status,” it said.

Applicants must access the Immigration website, select the service, fill out the online forms and scan the documents, passport, and expired or about to expire ID card. “After receiving the documents online, they will be verified and then the system will issue the user a payment notice, which must be done with a credit or debit card.”

Immigration said that once the corresponding payment has been made, the user must click on the button to complete the process, so that it’s registered in the DGM and the appointment is generated, according to the statement.

“After completing the process and making the payment to obtain the card, the user will proceed to deposit at the DGM’s headquarters, with prior notification, the payment receipt or voucher that will be provided by the system with the date and time of the appointment.”

True that for those who don't speak Spanish and don't have the technical ability, a lawyer might help them get, scan and upload the proper documents.

The cost for such a service should be lower than one than the one that required them to travel to Santo Domingo. Perhaps lawyers that read threads like this will chime in with their cost to do just that under the new rules.
