Dear Everyone,
I'm an American Citizen.
I collected all of the required documents for Residence Visa as stated on the DR Consulate website. I had everything translated and affixed with an apostillada.
THE PROBLEM
After collecting all my documents, I read on the embassy website that the Residence Visa is ONLY for:
How can a Residency process that was open to basically ANYBODY now be so restrictive? I'm not retiring or investing, etc. I just want to be able to live there and continue dating my Dominican girl. We're talking about getting married, but that won't happen until I'm in DR. I don't want to have to travel back to USA to apply for a visa after we marry and then back to DR to live. It's too much.
How do I make this possible or am I out of luck? What are others doing these days?
Thanks!
