If a single person needs anywhere from RD 50000 to RD 100000 to live decently in santo domingo, do most dominicans work 5,6, or 7 days per week? Do they work 8, 10, 12, or 16 hours a day? I bring a USA perspective to what we normally work in the states. If I plan to work in the Domonincan Republic, I should go had and file for my permanent residence card to stay in legal complaince in the Dominican Republic?
