I wonder whether anybody would know cheap private logding (2 people and maybe pets) in the area around Santo Domingo (near to beach and furnished would be nice) for an extended stay?

Also, does anybody know what the rules are for taking small pets (like cats and dogs) to the DR?

What does one have to do be allowed to stay longer than the regular tourist stay?

Is there a German consulate or embassy?

Appreciate your answers

Request a certification from your vet that your dog has been vaccinated for the current period for rabies and distemper.
At the airport in the DR you must ask for the animal control person (Sanidad Animal) in the customs area. They will
examine the paper the vet gave you and fill out an official entry form or permission, for which you must pay RD$100
(about US$6). Note you will have to make a special reservation for the animal to board with you and the travel cage will
count as carry-on luggage and should fit under the seat. The airline will most likely charge you a fee for carrying the
dog.

The government is lax about people staying longer than they are authorized. So far, the penalty is only having to pay something that is less than US$20 upon departure.

The German Consulate is located at Edif. Plaza Intercaribe, 5th floor, Ave. Lope de Vega. Tel 809 566-8047, Fax 809 221-8408
