Do the airlines accept a return ticket that's 1 year ahead, when checking in for a one way flight to the DR?

Return Ticket 1 year away
I don't have an answer to your question, but I fail to see the importance here, as
1. Anything past 30 days (90 days with the extension) would be without a tourist card, so as far as I know, airlines would be able to refuse boarding without a return ticket within that time period.
2. So return ticket in a year would only officially work with an airline if you had residency, at which point they should not care if you have or not a return ticket?
3. Which one is it, one way ticket or return 1 year ahead (if that's even possible)?
Am I missing something here?
If you are approaching this from a Point that the Airline wants you to have Round Trip ticket to get on their Plane( which they most certainly can do, and have done to many of us ) .. and you simply want the Freedom to return when you want ,
then just give them what they want .. buy the most expensive >>Refundable<< return Ticket you can. .and then just cancel it when you land .
This is the best way to approach this ..
Then buy your real return Ticket whenever you are ready.
I think you are overthinking it otherwise.

I would not bet my vacation on any info you might get here in this forum. Buy a fully refundable return ticket a month ahead, print it out and cancel it afterwards.
I agree, I would only rely on direct info from any airline, but the refundable ticket is I think the best suggestion.
Example case: We use almost always Condor from FRA to POP/PUJ between EU and DR. They have it clearly printed on their website, that they are obliged to refuse boarding if the country-specific document requirements are not fulfilled with a direct link to DR migration on their website. Fact is though that I have gone against this rule in the past without any consequences. So the answer is yes and no, but I would not gamble...
With how much airlines want money from any source they can get, it’s a miracle they don’t charge a cancellation fee (if there is a few, obviously it isn’t high enough if people are considering it’s ok to cancel a return ticket) for a return tickets cancelled after the first ticket is used or even allow cancellation of such thing.
It does not need to be a return ticket ! One way leaving the DR is good enough and there are plenty of options for a ticket that can be canceled without any fee. Usually they are more expensive but who cares if you cancel anyway.
They aren’t suppose to sell a one way ticket to any country to people that aren’t legal residents or citizens of that other country.
Wtf are you talking about. I can be a serial killer that just escaped from jail and still can buy any ticket i want online.
You can buy what you want but when it comes the moment of check in and checking your documents, they may just deny boarding, period.
Thats for sure ! But this has nothing to do with the question of "conchman" regarding a return ticket.
Unless I'm missing something, it does, as the question is whether or not you have to have a return ticket within 30/90 (extension) days or not? The time he mentions "one year", makes no sense, as you would have to have a residency in the DR for an airline to "accept" (accept in this case = they would not care) that ticket... Please feel free to correct me though...
100% Accurate... some people on this thread cant seem to understand this Simple Concept, which is actually a RULE .
until it happens to them, which it definitely will,
From Europe directly to the DR they have always checked for a return ticket. Via the US never. Last trip was a planned overstay with a valid return ticket (almost 3 months later). I even put the late return date in the immigration Eticket. No red flags for that at check-in and immigration.
It seems a return ticket is checked but not the actual date of return. Or it is not important for immigration.

Ok 330 days, I'm trying to find a strategy to stop buying and changing tickets. For a relative Bec I got rez
Dude American Airlines checks every single time now at the priority check in desk in Miami, EVERY SINGLE TIME (half the time before)
They even check that it is a paid ticket not a reservation on hold , AA in Miami is different bro
My relative was not allowed to fly because of an expired return ticket, that's what it's like in AA Miami
