I've been toying with the idea of moving to a beach in a few different countries and like a few things about the DR. 1. Foreign investor friendly 2. Easy to stay extended periods 3. Prices
I've posted here before, but it was premature as I wasn't really ready to actually go ahead and start making real plans. Mu goal is to move to the DR in September sometime (if this is a bad time, please let me know also).
What I'm looking for in a perfect world?
1. High(ish) end condo/penthouse/house in gated community on or very close to a beach with ocean view
2. Some sort of nature/wild life/golf course etc for a backyard or very close
3. Fun! I'm a single guy looking to come live down there, possibly start a company. Honestly would love to be in an area close to a beautiful white beach with crystal clear water and lots of chicks
My rental budget would be around $1500/m on the high end. If I can find something closer to $800...even better. I'm open to different types of places, mainly looking for location and quality. I'd like something that would be considered luxury. Granite counters, beautiful kitchen/bathrooms etc.
Also, I work online so reliable high-speed internet is essential and I'm really not sure how to go about that or how much it would cost.
I've read through the forums and have seem many similar posts, but bits and pieces of what I'm looking for and still haven't found a good place to search for rental. How should I go about buying a plane ticket if I intend to stay there for a very long time (a year or more?). Should I buy it as thought I'll be staying for 3 months? I think this is the allowed length of stay, before paying an exit fine? If I buy a ticket with a return date beyond this period will they not let me in the country?
Any advise/tips/links would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to set up a budget and make sure my ducks are in a row. looking to get serious about it and need to figure out where I'm going and how to go about it.
Thanks!!
