Hello all,
I was recently in the Dominican Republic for dental work. While there, I literally ran into an English speaking girl and blah blah blah. Now, I don't exactly care for the US, so the idea of moving internationally of it is something definitely worth embracing. But my major concerns are ones I should address prior to arriving.
1st, I just read about the contract murder of a public official (I skimmed over it). So, how safe is it really? I'll be living in Santo Domingo (I understand everywhere has it's bad neighborhoods). I'm also interested in traveling throughout the country. Is there anywhere I should honestly avoid, due to possible bodily harm?
2nd, the job situation. From what I'm told, if I walk into a call center, I'll pretty much be handed a job. Of course, I'm fluent in English (I don't speak much Spanish, but I'll pick it up) and know how to speak properly. So, is that true? I'd hate to get there only to find out I can't find a job. And speaking of, what about getting a visa? Do I need a work visa?
I promise, I'll do my best to reciprocate knowledge as this process develops.
