My Colombian wife wishes to visit the DR with me for the first time this summer. We're sort of unclear on the requirements for Colombian citizens (with permanent US residence) to gain entry into the DR. Some Internet sites say they still need a tourist visa despite them having a US Alien...

Hello all, My wife's Colombian. Needless to say, I'm Dominican. One of the things we are planning about is for our retirement. I'm naturally inclined to move back to the DR and as the great woman that she is, she's willing to go wherever I go. God is good. She's the crown of the king...

I frequently see or hear about soldiers performing police duties in the DR. In fact, I remember relatives of mine who were in the army and were allowed (and possibly still are) to carry their service weapon as a military service member out in the civilian world. I guess having been out of...

I have a dream that one day, our country will be able to rise above the shortcomings and lack of ethics, our disregard for morality, our disdain for those that decide they will not conform to the masses' stance on honesty and integrity and our total disconnection to sound principles that has...

We all know that there are tens or hundreds of Dominicans being deported back to DR from various countries (mainly the US) for an entire array of reasons. I guess we can all agree that those being deported because the have committed a crime overseas should be deported and dealt with accordingly...

Ok, let me try and keep it as simple as possible. I left the island back in... '83. I was fourteen then and managed to get a c?dula (the paper kind). I have never gotten that renewed EVER. I've been living in the US since and my parents having acquired US citizenship, passed it down to me...

Just read an article on today's Dominican Today where our tolerance to take criticism is once again put to the test. Now, let me set a precedent here and state for the record, that I too am Dominican. I'm just as proud of my heritage as any islander Dominican, although I live abroad...

I've had a (hopefully promising) business opportunity in DR that gears more towards the kind of work my wife does (beautician) and I'm seriously considering making the move there from the US (North Carolina specifically). Howeverrrr, prior to making any decisions I figured, hey.. let's take a...

I just got done reading an article on Listin Diario about how the Chief of Police is bewildered at how easy it is for criminals to get out of jail after having been apprehended or arrested even while in the commission of the crime(s). Well, here's my two cents: not long ago, we had an...

Not sure I'll get the answer here, but hopefully someone else may have been in the same situation. I'm a dual citizen (US/DR) married to a Colombian national holding a US permanent resident card (she did not get her PR through me). She's already qualified to apply for US citizenship, but until...

En los Estados Unidos Existen dos comunidades hispanas: una de ?latinos americanos? y otra de ?Hispanic American?. La de los ?latinos americanos?, que son la mayor?a, est? formada por inmigrantes. La de los Hispanic American est? compuesta, mayormente, por los hijos de hispanos nacidos o...

Throughout the ages, Dominicans have been led to believe that our independence was declared on February 27th, 1844 from the Haitian Occupation. If you notice, we only liberated ourselves from an occupation. Our independence had technically already been declared from Spain back in December 1st...

Very few things in life send chills down my spine the way the thought of having been impersonated does. Especially for those 'not-so-legal' purposes. I'm probably speaking for quite a few dominicans abroad who have left the country many many years ago. Like me, some have left as children...

I was born in the DR and became a naturalized US citizen through my dad. I left the DR when I was barely 9 years old so I never did get to obtain a "c?dula", (although I did get a dominican passport back then in order to leave the country) and I have been residing in the US since 1977, but...
