For the cedula itself, and for additional legal fees. Are you fluent in Spanish? That could make a difference in legal fees.
I understand that as of 2014, the Pensionado cedula has to be renewed every two years. Is that still correct?
The [u]renewal[/u] presently is $132 including your [i]cedula[/i] being mailed to you.
Your initial application using a lawyer/representative, is approx. $2000. This could take a year or more… 🙄 Being fluent in Spanish and without a lawyer/representative, approx $1000 including the required government fees…and could still take the same time, but I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have a lot of time to spare.
Four years later after gaining Temporary Residency, and if you decide to apply for PR residency, using a lawyer could be $600+, and your renewed [i]cedula[/i] may be issued for a further 2years, with the time period expanding depending on how long you have been a legal resident.
