I'm interested in knowing the reasons one would become a resident or citizen of the DR if you were/are holding US or Can passports. More specially, if one of the reasons was you wanted to be more proactive in the politics of the country, have you now become active? What role do you play in Dominican politics? Was it because you wanted a complete break from the form of govt in the USA or Can? Mission accomplished?
Clearly, at least in my mind, it can't be because of "the shorter lines at immigration" as mentioned in so many other treads in the past. Very little value there for all the effort and time needed to change for status. Taxation? IDK, the laws in the US are pretty tight on that subject, especially reporting income, such as S.S. I suppose there are other reasons ( I can think of 2-3) that you would probably would not want to post here, and I understand that. I hope that's working out for you, but if they can be shared here they would lend some insight to the subject.
My inquiry in no way means I have a pro or con set in my mind. I'm here to learn. I think the subject is fascinating.
