I am a 68 year old US citizen who has overstayed my tourist card by 13 years. I have been retired and on pension all this time, so I never had to work in the Dominican Republic. I married my girlfriend, nine months ago. I had lived with her for 13 years and raised her three children as my own. The children are now all over 18, my wife has now gotten her passport and we would like to take a cruise which leaves from San Juan, PR. Does anyone know what my EXIT FEE (tax) would be, is there a cap on it? Would I have a problem re-entering the DR? Should I take a chance and pay 20,000 pesos under the table to a friend of my daughter in order to get this problem fixed? Thank you

Wait a minute - 13 years???? You must have renewed your US passport during that time. Your entry stamp has to be in your old passport.

I'd just hand them my new passport, and say they never stamped in when you came in.......

Not even an issue, like Gorgon said, 2,500. As you are getting on the boat for the cruise just have $RD,2,500 ready at the Customs window and its done. Or AE is correct, "they forgot to stamp my passport" will work just as good. I would not lose any sleep over this... And by the way congrats on being able to tolerate the DR for so many years, I need a break every 6 months.

I have always wondered about fake the entry stamp what if they look for your departure stamp ? Maybe not here in the DR but going thru immigration in US maybe ?
