hey guys!!! hoping somone can help me out...i am currently in school and am planning to de an eight week work term for my school in puerto plata at a bar and restaurant with a friend that manages the club...i am in the process of contacting the emabassys to see if a work visa is needed where i wil not be paid do to it being an internship for schooll that will hopefully landme a job..if anyone has any info on work visas for canadians for employment in domincan republic it would be greatly appreciated..on my last visit i had met a friends from the uk who was living there for a year and is getting permission from the airport to work..every three months she returns to the airport and will recieve this permission slip to work and it avoids paying for a work visa....its sounds a bit wierd to me...but if any has any info it would be great.. i am also interested in doing half my workterm with a hotel...just wondering if anyone knows any hotels that would take an international student for a workterm, or if anyone has seen it done before....sorry i am currently in school doing professional travel, tourism and hospitatlity management....any info would be great thanks

Just come here. Forget asking for a work visa. Pain in the butt and not needed.

After you ": overextend" your tourist visa, just pay a few hundred pesos and go back home...No problem

Surprised somebody hasn't told you this before.

Hillbilly is correct. A niece of my friends came here and worked for 4 months as an intern, received no pay. She paid a small fee when she flew out of the country for overstaying her tourist visa. No big deal at all.
