Hola Sparks. A good question. We'll have to ask Onappafa if expats will receive the same 'treatment'. You're right that one should go the 'legal' route as this saves problems down the line or at least that is what we hope given this system. Onappafa supposedly is going the legal route through a side door they opened through the judicial system after being rebuffed by the legislative one. They have done this, I think, through numbers. One ends up with plates and on the National vehicle registers, Soia and Repuve. And this 'side door' was originally designed to serve the indigent. However, Onappafa now recognizes that Expats have been treated unfairly when on becoming permanent residents they have to legalize their cars or keep renewing visas for them at the border. The Expat is welcome but their cars are not because the two departments, Aduana and Immigration, did not coordinate the procedure to accommodate keeping one's car without a lot of hassle. I think a mechanism should have been engineered to grandfather in their vehicles. I choose to think that Onappafa is acting because of this unfairness and not because they now have another group to serve/exploit. I'm sure they make some $ in the process. All I know for sure is that I don't have to drive my u-haul to the border and back just to get legalized. What I am worried about is transacting by e-mail with people that I don't see. How do I know where my $ is going and if I'll get results. Where do I go if it doesn't work. So far so good but I'm a guinea pig on this one. Cruz  |
