Hello everyone, my first post here.

After searching the archives, I couldn't find what I was looking for, and hope maybe someone could help me out.

Assuming that I am a dual-citizen of the DR and US. When I travel from the US to DR and plan to stay longer than the usual 90 day tourist visa time period.

What do you do when going thru customs/immigration? Just show my DR passport when I arrive? Have customs stamp both passports? And what about when I return to the US?

Anyone here been thru this before? Look forward to your comments/suggestions...

Thanks:confused:

You enter and exit the DR on your DR passport, and when they ask where your US visa is you show them your other passport. If you were born in the DR and it says so on your other passport, you can enter and exit the DR without the tourist card requirement.

You can visit the Dom. Rep. using your American passport any time and you can stay as long as you want, you don't need the tourist card.
My wife have dual citizenship too, last time she stayed in the DR. for years and she had not problem leaving the contry.
