Good people
I will be flying into the DR in October. My plan is to explore the possibility of living there. I am not planning to return north but hope to spend a year getting acquainted with the DR. I am told that upon entering the country I must have an airline ticket to leave the country as well. The problem is that I don't want to be forced to buy a RT ticket when I know that I will not use the return. I will probably be traveling on to Cuba but will make those arrangements once I am in the DR. Is there any way to get around this requirement? Especially in light of the fact that I will probably be traveling back and forth to Cuba every 2 or 3 months. Moreover, are you allowed to renew your visa by crossing the border into Haiti and returning the same day?
In addition, in order to plan for these excursions I will need to know how long I am legally allowed stay in the DR on a tourist visa (extensions included)? I have heard conflicting stories as to what is permitted and what you can get away with. What I need is a realistic appraisal. Thanks.
