just wondered if anyone can give me a decent idea of what I d be looking at paying for a one bedroom apartment in Sosua or Puerto Plata/Charimicos...doesnt have to be on the beach - but close would be nice . Doesnt have to be in the ex pat section.. I d be ok amongst Dominicans. And a second question is health insurance.. Although I m planning to get the residency permit around November December next year, I worry about health coverage meantime after I leave my job in New York. I will be retiring in November 2019 so I will be a pensioner. Am I able to get health insurance there even as a non-resident? I m anticipating $2200 a month .. that should be ok for a regular life I hope ?
