The full chapter and verse on how to get back to the UK at the moment is here: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/dominican-republic/return-to-the-uk It mentions flights from SDQ > MAD on Air Europa on 4th and 5th May. Frankly I'd rather take my chances with Coronavirus than have to...

I agree with windeguy. If no hotels are open there will be no point in opening Punta Cana. I think there may be a service from New York to Santo Domingo, there may be a service from Miami to Santo Domingo and there may be a (weekly?) service from Madrid to Santo Domingo before then. That's...

Ain't that the truth

That may have been the case in the past, but these days that isn't correct. When you declare your ITBIS monthly on the IT1 you have to say what your total sales were, how much was on credit cards and how much by bank transfer and how much in cash. The DGII won't believe hotels who say that...

Alex, explain how exactly a regular person without an RNC can pay ITBIS? Have you ever run a company in Dom Rep and have you got the slightest idea of how being required to do something like pay DGII then requires you to get another 200 bits of paper and register here there and everywhere...

I always start my day with a list of things to do and a plan. In the Dom Rep I found that most days you started fixing one problem, then another came along, and while you were trying to fix those two, a third and a fourth came, and the fourth was much bigger than the first three, so you...

I really can't understand your post. I have attached a copy of the document I was sent. Looks pretty genuine to me. And I'm not sure whether you have even been to DR, if you imagine that it is a joke to say that many families are in absolute crisis now. For those who have been...

Yes I've seen that document. But I can't see how any of those hotels will reopen in May if the lockdown continues, and even in June if the airlines aren't coming. And regarding airlines, I know there are a lot of US and Canadians reading this, but Americans and Canadians only make up a part...

In the UK they keep saying the only reason for the lockdown was to protect the health service. They acknowledge that the disease is here to stay until they can find a vaccine or a cure, both of which are at least 1 year away, even though they have begun trials on vaccines now. But you cannot...

Let's all pray that this is the case. The problem is that if it does go until the end of May, the airlines are not going to schedule flights until it is lifted, and they need a few weeks to sell the seats, so we probably won't see any tourists until July.

Apologies but you don't know me, you have no idea who I know, you have no idea who I mix with. Please don't make assumptions.

Try to be nice. I was honestly only trying to help and pass on information I had been given as I felt people on here may want to know. Nothing suspect, nothing sinister.

I don't understand why I am being called "deeply asleep" in that case.

Apologies, I was only trying to be helpful. I don't spend all day every day reading the forums on DR1, but I was sent a copy of the request from Danilo Medina dated today, so I presumed it was new news. The document I saw was a letter from Danilo Medina on his own headed paper. It was sent...

I've just been sent a copy of the formal document in which Danilo is requesting an extension of the state of emergency until 25th May. Feels like way too long and I suspect there will be civil unrest.

I think it's a possibility that she has learning difficulties. The main issue I think is that she doesn't understand English sufficiently well, the entire class is being taught in English and she is up against kids whose mother tongue is English. My god-daughter's mother and family don't...

It's called Casa Sanchez Hotel. I don't run it myself now but there is an amazing couple who have taken it over and are doing a wonderful job.

The whole AirBnB model is pretty much hated by governments worldwide because it is so informal. AirBnB has been banned in Berlin, Barcelona, central London precisely because it encourages people to set up informal, unregulated, uninsured hotels that don't pay any tax. The original concept...

Thanks that's helpful
