well.... they did ask them to send in the duration of stay information...

That's progress of a sort !!

The response will be interesting !!

I really don't think it'll be a problem as long as the gov't doesn't step on its own feet

I don't think it'll be a problem either and I think the request is just for "show". And so far, it appears that only the consulate in Ottawa is requesting this info. Nothing mentioned about this on the UK consulate website(?).

remember - these are quasi legal statements that identify the 'legal' boundaries
Which reamin at 60 days.

Maybe we should start a thread about 'tolerance' levels - what is accepted or can be had.

Guzman will tell you the same thing - by quoting the law

The practical side is the wild west

I would put it this way:

On a tourist card you can stay legally for up to 30 days.

If you stay up to 60 days, you are illegal after day 30, but they won't hold it against you and you just pay the exit fee.

If you stay over 60 days on a tourist card, you will still pay the appropriate exit fee, and you may have problems in the future trying to re-enter the DR.

That is how I see this unfolding, but we have to wait and see what really happens next.

227 now.

Just had a friend arrive from New Jersey. This topic of snowbirds in the DR is being discussed in the Jersey barrios populated by many Dominican migrants to the USA.

Waiting on more actual reports of what, if anything new, happens next.

But is cheaper if you overstay by 8 years or more. That makes perfect sense:

Time overstayed Old RD$ New RD$
1-2 months 2,500 5,000
2-3 months 2,500 5,000
3-4 months 4,000 5,000
4-5 months 4,000 6,000
5-6 months 4,000 7,000
6-7 months 4,000 8,000
7-8 months 4,000 9,000
8-9 months 4,000 10,000
9-10 months 5,000 11,000
10-11 months 5,000 12,000
11-12 months 5,000 13,000
12-18 months 6,500 18,000
18-24 months 8,000 18,000
24-30 months 9,500 23,000
30-36 months 11,000 23,000
36-48 months 16,000 28,000
48-60 months 20,000 33,000
6 years 30,000 38,000
7 years 40,000 43,000
8 years 50,000 48,000
9 years 60,000 53,000

So they let you stay for 10 years and simply pay a fee but they are trying to deport people that stay over 60 days. I have a bridge to sell in Brooklyn for anyone that believes that nonsense.

and the post had over 100 views in less than 2 hrs....
popular topic it seems.

when was the last increase ?
A few years ago ?

Like bridge tolls and road tolls... they go up, never down.

I don't think [posting a 1 or 2 year rate is allowing that stay - it just states what those people will pay .

The new rules are for going forward not for rear view vision.
the past cannot be undone but the future can be explained -- what we'll do about past and future transgressions.
