Online Website to extend your stay legally 120 days total before your 30 day tourist card expires

[CristoRey]

ok, you're right! I look at EVERY relationship based on economic factors. Dominicans often do as well. They don't immigrate to Venezuela or Cuba very often.

They used to go down to Venezuela to work in the 90's. DR recently admitted this in the press. Said they will look at different ways to assist those who are stuck here.
Unfortunately we may be saying the same thing about the neighbor to the north in a few years.

Overstay threads are the most entertaining now a days.

With A Tourist Card Stays Longer Than 120 Days

2 billion in aid last week from USA I think the americans can stay as long as they want... And Canadians too, eh? Those from the EU as well? Yes, aid from a country always guarantees their citizens can be illegal in the aided country.

You and Windy sure have some horses you like to beat

 

[chrisgy]

as far as migration goes, Dominicans wanna get to Western Europe, Canada and the USA, that's absolutely right.

But not in that order...USA, Canada then Western Europe

But not in that order...USA, Canada then Western Europe

depends whom you ask.
my family has only 6 or7 who live with their new families in the USA, we have a dozen with family each in Spain and Italy.
where people would prefer to go and where they finally go, are 2 different things with many deciding factors, like proximity, cheap flights to visit back home often etc.
a DR street guy would def choose Nueva Yol, he wouldn't know anything else anyways.
a mid class family would more likely look on western european cities to send their children to school/univercity.

Why would you presume to know what someone you know anything about might or not know?

I don't presume to know that I do not know about someone or anyone or anything.
What I do know is this is a simple question and it has not been responded to by DR1's legal team.
That is not an opinion, they simply have not responded.

Doesn't hurt to repeat her clarifications and follow up either

Extension of Legal Stay in The DR - 120 Days

Thats the part i dont understand. If youre granted this 4 month extension then how is that considered an overstay. Overstays are for illegal aliens. So you pay the fee upon signing up which is equivalent to the overstay or do you have to pay that fee and the overstay fee? i dont get the language

She explains the workaround of the overstay payments that work around the DR immigration laws. Instead of using the laws, there is an over stay fee, which Cynthia called a penalty for staying more than 30 days.

My question is what happens now to someone that stays more than 120 days using the current migration fee/penalty and that has not been answered by the legal team.

It is what it is. A simple question, with no answer.

It’s because you me and everyone knows nothing happens !

Which was true when the PLD was in charge for the past 16 years.
The PRM who has full control now promised to actually enforce immigration laws.
Of course that means nothing will happen, doesn't it?

You pay a fee according to the amount of days you have overstayed. If or when this ever changes, trust me, you'll hear about it.

They never promised anything lol. We've told you this at least 100x. However you're praying they do something. Let your obsession go.

 

[Cdn_Gringo]

I can't believe we are still plodding along on this subject. We all are quite certain that a typical tourist will not likely have any problems, with an extension or without one. Foreigners who live here full time and possibly work here are the one's that might come under scrutiny if the govt follows through on its decree. As long as you come and go with some regularity you should be just fine. If you live in a property you bought, have a car in your name, bank accounts or have a long term rental lease, a case can be made that you are no longer a tourist in the eyes of immigration. Still I don't see wide scale immigration round ups for North Americans/Europeans.

He spreads his gospel widely and in several places at least. And over many years.

Immigration and Overstay Issues page 5 - Dominican Republic forum - Expat.com

We are posting this more prominently so people do not miss it. We can confirm that tourists are being turned away at the entry points who have 'overstayed the tourist visa multiple times'. Please...

You are legally extending your stay! you can still pay at airport or online if you wish. If you have overstayed with out extending they can use it against you in future and deny your entry on future visits.

Thanks. Good to know.

You are wrong. The new Minister of Interior and Police has promised to enforce the immigration laws as written that the PLD ignored for the past 16 years.
It was clearly stated as so in the news.

 

[windeguy]

You pay a fee according to the amount of days you have overstayed. If or when this ever changes, trust me, you'll hear about it.

I anxiously await that moment. Until then, it seems like they continue to ignore the law.

What will it take to make you a believer?

A typical tourist can now stay for 120 days, but if they stay longer, still no problem.
