Most tourists do not get a 30 tourist visa. They get a tourist card that is valid for 30 days. They are two completely different things. My suggestion is to give tourists from countries that qualify a 6 month tourist card as is done in many other countries, free of charge. Just double or triple the overstay fees for chronic overstayers and perpetual tourists to make up for the revenue lost.
I am for a simple way to pay up front for 6 months where one is able to drive legally and stay legally, but not work legally except for being a digital nomad online. It would require new laws to do this for both Migracion and DIGESETT to harmonize those issues. So legally, it might have to be called a Visa Upon Arrival like many countries do.
I will determine what has impact , not anyone else. I don't like illegals in any country where I am a citizen.
The system is not in agreement with the laws since the PLD put the exit fines in place instead of using the laws as written. It means many people drive illegally on foreign licenses. It means some people stay illegally forever with no ramifications. What you consider good, I consider ineffective and broken.
Precistely, I am ALL THAT.
Nope, it is my horse and a will continue unless and until changes are made to agree with law.
I never said it was my top concern.
Good mornig Sir Wind. I have no real concerns about illegals here. I am much more concerned about drunk drivers and reckless drivers than I am Haitians selling fruit from a cart. Potholes are higher up on my concern scale as is the price of gold and fuel. Hey, incidentally, have you ever thought about running for mayor of Cabarete?
I think it would be better to keep it simple and FREE for all tourists who are here for 6 months or less. Mexico, Panama, Colombia, and others do this, and they issue a tourist card or simply call it "visa free entry" where your immigration stamp in your passport is proof you entered the country legally and starts the clock ticking. Actually, as far as I know, the DR no longer issues actual tourist cards - it is the entry stamp in your passport.
In any case, the law would have to be changed. Whether you're in country on a visa, tourist card, or visa free entry, you're legal to drive for the time provided.
If you are from the UK, you know what's going on!
The South of France attracts wealth for a reason, as does Luxemburg.
I'd rather buy real estate for 500K or a million in EU or US, than DR for obvious reasons.
Just compare the cost of basic items like food, clothing, consumer goods, electicity, cars in EU or US to DR prices and availability.
If one has play money to invest in DR real estate OK.
If one is just hungry for Winter sun, even the US has many attractive options, or EU a few hours away.
To each his own.
Well then, is it safe to assume the sight of Haitains must really make your blood boil?
Actions speak louder than words...
and yes, I know, you (can't take a joke) live in Cabarete not Sosua.
I'm sure you know some upstanding wealthy and well educated people on the N. Coast.
Yet the real wealthy or very well educated seldom flock to the DR North Coast or Cap Cana.
Well, there are some affluent criminals hiding out, even or especially in Sea Horse Ranch as reported by Germany media....
They do have great security after all.
Not that there is a shortage of Canadian criminals, including Hells Angels and other criminal extradited by INTERPOL.
Of course US criminals also have their share.
Especially those with money find easy refuge, oh did I forget Eastern Europeans including Russians.
To me, as Windy says" just my opinion" most of the N.Coast is bottom barrel including, people, dilapidated street's and sidewalks.
It's just an opinion forum, with the price of beans in DR and some facts sprinkled in.
Remember our friend owner of Mary Rose, extradited by INTERPOL?

Paradies für Schwerverbrecher
Rund 230 000 Deutsche machen Jahr für Jahr Urlaub in der Dominikanischen Republik, mehr als 30 000 ließen sich dort nieder. Sie träumten vom Paradies - aber auch Kriminelle prägen das Bild. Das Bundeskriminalamt sieht einen »Rückzugsraum für gesuchte Straftäter«.

Dominikanische Republik: Fluchtburg deutscher Krimineller
Die Dominikanische Republik ist für viele Deutsche das paradiesische Urlaubsziel in der Karibik. Doch auch viele Betrüger, Drogendealer und Pädophile aus der Heimat lassen sich in dem Land nieder. Das Bundeskriminalamt spricht von einem "Rückzugsraum für gesuchte Straftäter".

Cabarete may not have Elon Musk wealthy level of people here, and it does have it's share of dead-beats and low life's, but the average expat here is a typical, well-educated, and upper middle class individual. There are many multi-millionaires that live here full or part-time.
I also don't care if there is a charge or not for up to X months, where X is 6 or less. Just do something that agrees with the laws.
If they are illegal, I am not pleased. If a gringo from a tourist card country lives here without legal residency, my displeasure is the equal.
I am against any and all illegals. I am not more prejudiced against one group than I am another.
Any sight of a Haitian will make my wife's blood boil, but she is a native born Dominican.
What actions?
I can take a joke very well. And I have stated numerous times that I could care less what people think about me if they don't in some way owe me money.
That is a joke, and then it isn't...
Man o man you take this immigration thing way to seriously. My concerns are so much more important. If my pasta does not come out Al dente I am angry. However I will not post about it for years on end.
Okay guys, this is New Members forum. We’re so far off the OP that it’s probably hopeless that it will get back on track.
Hint: it’s not about immigration, not about Haitians, certainly not about Winde.
Let’s try.
