A legislative proposal from the Ministry of the Interior and the Police, General Migration Law # 285-05, was recently sent to the National Council on Migration for their opinions and comments. The new law calls for a National Plan of Registration and Normalization of Foreigners. Furthermore, any foreigner who has resided in the country for more than 10 years will have the right to opt for permanent residency and will be given an identity document valid for four years.

On the other hand, any undocumented people arriving in the country after the promulgation of the new Constitution will be expelled from the national territory, with proper respect for their human rights.

Listin Diario obtained a copy of the document that emphasizes the execution of the National Plan for the Normalization and Registration of all Foreigners Settled in the country.

Roberto Rosario, the head of the Central Electoral Board outlined these plans at the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington, D.C. last week.

The regulations establish that all foreigners will be provided with an identification document that gives their immigration status.

Foreigners with less than five years of residence will be considered non-residents, transients, and they will be given a document to that effect.
