I am an American citizen and have been going to the DR for years- I love it and have developed some very close friendships and even become Padrino to a little girl there. I am 48 years of age and am thinking it would be great to just go there and settle - but I am unsure how to do this ..I don;t want to give up my American citizenship- but I would like to become a resident in the DR. Is it easy and does anyone know how to go about it? And maybe working part time teaching English? I speak German and pretty decent Spanish, is there a call for that in case my funds start drying up before my pension kicks in?
