Dominican Immigration has extended the stay for tourist

Very slightly OT....but I just entered the DR and paid the $10 entry fee.
I will be staying just under 30 days. However, within that 30 days I plan to visit Haiti for a few days....will I then have to pay another $10 to come back into the DR or is my original payment still good?

This new "announcement" seems backwards to me. If they're going to deny people for overstaying, wouldn't it make more sense to do it like almost all other countries and deny re-entry when you leave by stamping your passport accordingly? You avoid the problem of having people living in the departure lounge until they get a flight out.

I wonder if voluntary return refers those to those who have been denied entry and agreed to catch the next flight out? "Voluntary withdrawal" is the term used for these people on the TV show Border Security.

That is vague. I know a lot of countries will allow an illegal alien to voluntarily depart in lieu of formal deportation and being ordered removed.
Yes. Most countries will allow you to voluntarily pay for your way back out, which leaves you in a better position to come back once you've met whatever requirements they want. If you force them to deport you, there will be no chance (or much less chance) to come back within a predetermined time frame.

It seems like the only way to make sure that doesn't happen is to have everybody purchase their visa's prior to leaving their home country. That way nobody gets stuck in the airport. Which you know won't happen int he DR anyways.
I watched a 19 y.o. get turned around in POP and sent back to the States on the return American Airlines flight. His passport was going to expire in one day after arrival. They separated him from his family and brought him back upstairs to the AA gate. He argued, yelled, stomped his feet, even cried a little at one point, but they eventually stuck him back on the plane and sent him packing. (the little jerk got my seat).
Stupid to travel like that - expiring passport.
But it does show that the DR will evict you FAST if they see fit.
Our video girl was lucky that didn't happen to her

We acept visitos with passport valid at least for 3 months, most ofthe countries are 6 months wich I think is kind stupid if you get 6 years passport that you can not use it 6 months before expiration. Mine will expire in April 2019 and I wont be able to use it after October 2018.
You don't need to wait to renew your passport. You can do it with less than a year on it with no problem.
Actually, passports only need to be valid for the duration of the stay to enter the DR. The law says something else but that's another one that's not being reinforced.
It was a large family group. Probably just an oversight on the kid/families part. But it was very entertaining at Gate 4 that day. Lots of suits and uniforms, and lots of radio chatter trying to figure how out to handle this kid. I was talking to the kid, he had no money (parents had it all on the other side of immigration), no key to his house in the States once he got there. I offered to loan him some money but he didn't take it. And it wasn't a quick clean deal, the plane was help up for probably 20 minutes while they hashed everything out at the gate.
You would think a parent should have been able to meet with the kid before he was put on the plane to hand over a house key and some cash. It's all or nothing in this country a lot of the time. Compromise and common sense have yet to be discovered.
I flew in to Las Americas yesterday with expired residency and had to buy a tourist card. I ended up in the line with a group of indigenous people, South American natives. A woman from immigration came along and asked them where they were from, Venezuela. She left and later the entire group was pulled to the side. It took another hour to get through I never saw them again. Another group from another flight was guided in to the VIP longe, those guys didn't look very VIP to me. Never saw them again either.
