Ok then back to normal, no sweating. Carry ID, no problem, have return ticket, no problem. Pay overstay at airport, no problem. Over and out. Not planning to live or work here.
But always keep this in mind:
Under laws 199-67 and 285-05, a tourist card allows non-Dominicans (or "aliens" in American legal parlance) entry into the Dominican Republic, for 30 days, for the purpose of “rest, relaxation, rest or entertainment,” on condition that they have the funds required for those activities.
Legally, the tourist who wishes to stay for more than 30 days must obtain an extension from the Immigration Department. Without the extension, any tourist that overstays the 30-day period is an illegal alien subject to deportation under Article 121-3 of Law 285-05.
The penalty for overstaying is an administrative aberration that cannot and does not amend or affect the letter of the law.
