Received a Memo today from Migraciones citing certain laws that came into effect since 2006 through 09 that basically says beginning Oct. 20 this year, they will begin visiting businesses and checking the legality and residence compliance of those businesses who may be hiring foreigners illegally. Nothing new there really.
While it's obvious this may be directed towards only construction or free zone employed workers, it has a slant that suggests they will also be going after management types of foreign descent who work in hotels, casinos, resorts, tour operators and other types of businesses. Even restaurants or whatever.
If you're aren't a current resident or DR citizen, up to date, it might be worth looking into.
The memo is not cut and pasted here because they've covered that base, saying it is illegal to do so.
There are tons of foreigners working in the tourist industry off the books, as it were.
Just saying, be careful and aware of that initiative.
It might cut your extended vacation shorter than you'd hoped for.
