folks I thank you for your help but I am well aware I can pay when I leave. This is what I have done in the past. However, this time around (for personal reasons I may pay 'as I go').

Has anyone done this in the past and if so what is the procedure? Do I need to keep traveling to the capitol every 3 months or can I pay all up front. Help:ermm:

No you don't need to travel to the capital every 3 months.

Yes you can pay all up front.

How do I know ?? I've always paid up front (asked and paid for a pr?rroga). If you pay for a 9 months- one year overstay and leave the D.R. after 8 months, I don't think you will receive a repayment from the D.R. government though. But who cares !!!!!

Tambo,
Do you not get up to 29 days on a tourist visa and then start paying overstay fees from the 30th day?

Just a small point.

Tropical Regards
Reidy

Thanks!

The initial tourist visa is good for 29 days!

Thank you La Mariposa for your help. This is what I needed to know!!

1 question: If I pay for the 9-12 month extension upfront then later we deciede to stay longer say.. to stay for 2 years for example. Then I would have to return to the capitol to pay for another extension.

Would I pay the difference between the 12 month extension and the 2 year($1500rd) or would I pay $2500rd then another $4000rd? do you know how that works?

Thanks

Why would you have problems returning to the D.R. ??

You shouldn't have any problems. As long as you pay the overstay fine everybody is happy.
