Maria, come on.. you know as well as I do that it's not "can't" but rather shouldn't.. I know of quite a few foreigners who lived here for YEARS and they are working here illegally, have businesses here, rentals as well. It's also possible to get local health insurance just with a passport. It's...

I had to do it once, because I wasn't allowed to renew my residency because my passport had less than 1 year left before it expired. So I had to pay the "fee" and then pay the penalty fee for an expired residency and cedula. Kind of annoying, because I have to go back every 5 years to renew my...

Lol "a los nueve días del mes de mayo del año mil novecientos sesenta y seis" So this document is from 1966, almost 60 years ago. Wonder if it ever was modified? I mean " La tarjeta de turismo podrá adquirirse[...] al precio de RD$2.00 cada una." :ROFLMAO: Agree, it's cheper to overstay 1 year...

Hmm... Sarcasm... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Don't know about newer cars, but I can confirm that's not the case at least for my first car I bought. 18 years old, a 1989 FORD Escort. Before leaving home I was checking the oil level but forgot to put the oil dipstick all the way in. So less than 10 minutes later I got to my school's parking...

Not necessarily, you should show solvency, and if that means a letter of employment then yes, if the applicant gets money other way they should show that with for example bank statement. Lol, what I was asking for was to know if these "dummy tickets" are actually accepted? Because any...

Would be nice if someone "real" could confirm that these are valid though. They seem quite sketchy. When my wife has applied for a Schengenvisa through the Spanish authorities we've always bought the ticket as I've also never understood the concept of "reserving" an airline ticket. I mean...

Maybe because we like it when it's quiet and relatively calm. Before the pandemic there were the occasional power outages, the occasional water issue. Traffic during normal week days were not too busy, it would take normally about 5-10 minutes to get to the supermarket from where I live. TODAY...

None of which are North COAST.

Cab First? For what reason? All the expats? Since when does Jarabacoa, Bonao, La Vega, Salcedo, Tenares, Macoris and Santiago belong to North COAST? Do any of these cities have a coast? :unsure:

Hmm.. there was no power outtage yesterday in Los Castillos. And the power came back on around 7:30 PM yesterday in Caribe Campo.

So your point being? Except for the mobility I don't really understand why there's so much hype about Starlink in this area. The latency is compared to fiber really bad, and the speeds are as already been mentioned not up to par with what you can get with fiber for the same price. This topic...

Yes it's a joke, but no electricity Thursday from 12 pm onward (they say until 6pm, but everyone knows that's not accurate)

Yepp, two outages in less than 3 hours..

What do you mean one week? I would rather say not one DAY goes by that there isn't an outage. Just today at my house there's been two in less than 2 hours. Yesterday the entire afternoon, I think it was Wednesday no electricity for a couple of hours during the night, the same Monday early...

Altice, although I'm sorry I wrote it incorrectly. As already explained on previous posts you get for 149 pesos paquetico 5 days worth of internet with 5gb data, if you go over that you still have access but it goes to a super slow internet speed. So if you by that every 5th day you'd have paid...

Not true at all.. with the paqueticos you pay around 1000 pesos for 1 month of unlimited internet. With a postpago plan you would have to spend like 3-4x that amount, no way I'm doing that.

So glad I DON'T have Claro! Disgusting international company. From when I got here until 2019 I was a client of theirs, until a local ISP had actual fiber connection in the area where I live. Whenever there was an issue (which happened ALOT) and you'd call customer service for Claro it could...

Wrath of the Gods!! The wrath of the Gods! :ROFLMAO:

That happened to me as well many moons ago, a broken headlight. At that time I didn't have a DR license, I was driving around with my Swedish one. So they gave me a ticket, but didn't mention where or how to pay it and had also used my Swedish license number as the ID number, which I KNOW they...
