The only way to make the money in the DR you make in UK/USA/Hong Kong/etc. is to have your own business, as a contractor or consultant. But again, that money will not be produced overnight, you would need to get established, referred by, networked, etc. and most of all get to "swim with the flow" in the Dominican business culture, AND (and this is the biggest AND, SPEAK SPEAK AND SPEAK SPANISH). To get to that point, you MUST count with two or three years of struggling, so you HAVE to have either savings to sup[port you through that time or out-of-country contracts that pay you foreign currency.
