Was just told over the weekend that the Migration charge for those staying from 15-60 days is illegal. The fees have been made public at the Migration web site at See http://www.migracion.gov.do/tarifas.htm
Turns out that there is a law that sets the charge at US$10 for 60 days. Thus, when the Mejia administration increased the fees (understandably in its quest for more $), it did so illegally. The Fernandez administration has kept the extra revenues, but by doing so it is violating a law.
