Yeah except that how many dominicans/anas marry a foreigner and get legal papers for the country of the spouse......
I am married in the dr with a dominicana but it doesnt entitle me to any papers!!!!!!!!! U dont pay to become swiss if married with a swiss citizen, neither do u pay to become british if u marry a british national......
But I have to pay for dominican papers........ dominicans want the milk, the butter and the dairylady, as we say in french........
Such hypocrites!,,!!?.. I have been in contact with 3 dominican embassys ( in france, britain, switzerland ) and with the officina de l immigration in santiago and ALL and EACH time have told me not to bother about residencia, and I live here 6 months a year!!!!!!
So many families and of course the dr goverement count SO MUCH on $ and € sent from overseas, and that is the only thing that counts........
Dont get me wrong I love loving here and enjoy living in company of dominicans, but it is yet anlther example of the dominican republoc pretending to be a modern and developed country...... pathetic........
P.s. was in Dajabon the other week. Full and I mean full of undocumented haitians...... but also full of security/police/militrary....... seach for the error.
Driving back home there are loads of checkpoints. Minibuses and lorrys full of haitians are stopped. Money handed over. No paper check whatsoever. I witnessed it on 3 occasions, waiting behind at checkpoints...........
The dr goverment has their heads so deep up their corrupt a$$es that they have no idea what goes on outside of their gated communities......
P.P.S. I have been proposed by civil servants at l 'officina de l'immigration at the main desk, wit no shame at all, a "celula tujo" ( or something that soumds like that ). Basically a real/false cedula to show traffic cops/PN. The civilservants said not to worry they have no way of determinating "real false" cedulas!!!!!!!
Wonder if that is in the new gouverment bill proposal............
