I’ve read many different posts about banking in the DR, but my question is around when to open a local account as well as a local non prepaid cellular service. We have an anticipated move date of 10 months. We are hiring a lawyer to help with all of the residency paperwork. Prior to final move date, I will be making a few more trips to DR to look at different areas for renting ( we plan to rent for at least a year before deciding where to purchase). in your opinion should I open an account with a local bank on one of my trips or wait until we actually move there. Also I see that my good credit will not follow me to DR and I do not want prepaid cell service so should I also begin the process of establishing a cellular account ahead of time as well??? Any advice would be great.... and I’m aware that every branch differs in the ease of opening an account... thanks in advance! My thought process is to open a USD and Peso account with BanReservas as well as open a cell account on my visit in Feb... which would be about 4-5 months before our anticipated move date!
