That's what they don't WANT to do. There won't be enough labor workers because no one wants to work for the wages they're offering.

And from where do you get the impression that snowbirds are permitted to come to this country for periods exceeding 30 days?
Exactly. The canadian couple who was deported has nothing to do with the advisory on the French embassy website. I was just posting it as It was just issued and furthur proves that there is something afoot. To anyone who doesn't want to heed the warning no problem. If you're legal perfect. If not, be careful. That is all.
So these clients come every year and rent a house for two months, pay the overstay fee and return to their own country. What part of immigration law have they violated?
i guess it would be the overstay part. the mere fact they paid a fine means they were in violation of something..
beeza, i don't think it is an overstay fee. i think it is a fine,,,
Overstaying their 30 day touristic card. It's not an extension fee. It's a fine for violating the immigration law. If you'd like, I can post the link to the law as well.
Was the Canadian couple deported or denied entry to the RD? These are two different circumstances.
Thou shall not remain in the country longer than the term defined by your visa without obtaining an extension.
Since extensions cannot be had, the time specified on the tourist card, student visa, business visa is the max period of time you may remain in the DR before you have to exit. Overstay your visa, and you become an illegal alien. I thought we had already cleared up this misconception of the exit fees somehow bestowing legitimacy to the act of being in the country without permission.

If you violate traffic law you get a speeding ticket (Fine). You still comitted the violation. If you continue to speed and get multiple speeding tickets you can get your license suspended or in this case entry denied.
Those who routinely pay for their overstay call it a fee. Those who make the link between overstaying and being compelled to pay before being allowed to leave call it a fine.
i think so, too.
what i think happened is this. the DR came under intense international fire about 3 years ago, because of the issue with the plans to deport a segment of the Haitian population whom they considered to be illegals, even if they were born here. some very uncharitable things were said in all quarters, and DR was made to look like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. so, the DR embarked upon a regularization initiative, to give not just Haitians, but all foreigners who were in the country illegally, the opportunity to get themselves regularized. numerous Haitians, and foreigners from many other nations, took advantage of the program, and they are handing out the first of the cedulas, as we speak.
so, the DR probably figures that now that it has bent over backwards to show a sense of leniency and fairness, no more pussyfooting with the immigration thing..it means business now.
get them documents, boys and girls.
Why has the Canadian embassy website not posted anything in regards? Not trolling, just asking what seems like should be an obvious question. I do not have a pony in this race, but I do abhor seeing people strung along. With that, I yield the floor once again. May all have a productive day.
