Welcome!

Where are you thinking about living?

Being Dominican yourself, I’m presuming away from the foreigner enclaves.

I will there in August to look around. I have alot of family in places I don't want to live but, will leverage them to help me figure alot of things out. I wanted to move with my mom, but she passed away suddenly. My desire to move there grew even more after that. I have family in Santo Domingo, Tenares, and in San Francisco de Marcoris. I will frequent those areas because of family but have no clue where I'll end up. I'm not even sure where to rent at first. Any suggestions I'm all ears. I'm working on getting my citizenship before I move. Any suggestions on locations, i'm all ears. :) Thank you

Sorry for that I know that feeling, and welcome. By the way did you apply to get your citizenship? or you already have it?

I have lived in the capital, Puerto Plata, the town of, as well as Sosua and now am VERY happy living here in Santiago. It has all I need minus the insane traffic of the capital, short drive to the beach, mountains or the capital. I recommend it highly.

I'm waiting for my dad to get his updated cedula. His was really old. I went to the Dominican consulate in Miami and I have what I need but need my father's cedula to proceed.
