The person that said that in England or Switzerland you don't have to pay to become a citizen of those nations after marrying a national from those country. Let me tell you how much does cost for anyone that married an American citizen and wants to become a legal resident of the USA. Well it cost around 800.00USD and in the DR you only have to expend around 350.00USD if you do it yourself without using any lawyer.
First of all, no idea how it works in the US ( and no need to ).
I agree that nowadays it is more and more difficult in europe and especially switzerland, to marry and become a citizen.....
Why ? First because of the huge increase in " white " weddings ( basically paying someone in order to get a passport ), in part.
And of course because we are talking about 2 diffrent things.
I probably will take flack for this, but here goes......
Dominicans who leave for abroad, do so for economic reasons, simply put, to earn more money..... ( yes, I know some dominicans are wealthy beyond my dreams, but it is a small minority.......).
Most expats are not coming to the dr in search of better paid jobs....... they come here to spend there hard ( or not) earned money.......
Secondly I hope u are right about the 350$ cost........ but I doubt it, I have to start the process in a dr embassy. I guess all the paperwork ( docter consultation, birth certificate, police record and so on........) needs to be translated into spanish...... in the dr does not cost much bit back home......
I ll see in a couple of months time when I go for the residencia visa........
