Are Temporary Visa fairly easy to get ?
No need to be sorry, we all have our opinions and preferences. My dislike of people being illegal in a country is independent of the country I live in. I take the time, trouble and effort to be legal. That is why I feel as I do. It in no way makes me to feel like I should be somewhere else because another person is fine with being illegal here. Why should it?
At least the OP started out looking for a way to be legal and then has apparently descended into an approach of just coming in as a tourist, staying and trying to find a job. Good luck with that.
I respect your decisions and also agree that it is the right thing to do, be legal in the country.
This country has however made it easy to overstay, if not many would have made more effort to become legal (or not visit)
Myself had a window of three months last year when home to apply for a visa, but that for several reasons was not enough.
Mainly because the DR does not have consulary services in my home country.
Now I have overstayed once more one year, but will apply for visa next visit in my homeland.
Do I feel like a criminal or treated like one. No. But I prefer that my better half drive the car, **** could happen.
And yes, we never know when/if the DR government changes its lax practice in this matter.
Best of luck to the OP, and if you want to work here, try hard to get a visa!
LOL. I will . And clearly being an alien doesnt mean too much in DR. You on the other hand , live in DR and sound sooo miserable
LOL!!!
I could not possiblly write the response that I actually wanted to for Mm530 without facing a permanent ban on DR1.
Gentlemen, ladies, please keep the peace and keep in mind that what is easy is not always what is right.
Mm530, please keep in mind that not any kind of visa will allow you to work in the country. For example, an immigrant with a tourist visa is not allowed to work in the country, legally. Please remind your friend that he has to regulate his current migration status to be legal.
Eltow, constantly paying for overstay penalties does not have a negative consequense 'in the real world' yet but it is in the law. I am glad you will regulate your status once you return to your country; if there isnt a Dominican Consulate or a Embassy in your country, we can confirm with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which demarcation applies to you.

40000 pesos dominicano? Thats like less than $800 US. Thats only enough funds for 3 weeks in the US. You wont get a visa with that.
Or $40000 US? For $40K you can live in SD for 3-4 yrs.
