Hi!
I'm David, i'm an italian citizen but currently in the U.S. as tourist, and thinking about moving to D.R. for 6 months. My destination would be Sosua, will stay a few days in hotel meanwhile i will be looking for an apartament possibly in a residence.
I have a few questions, hopefully won't look too stupid...please consider i have never been in this country!
I'm doing this because i like caribbeans and looks like living in D.R. is anyway cheaper than EU or US.
I worked in an office until a few months ago but before i used to be a deejay in clubs and produce house music.
I'd like to take some time and come back again to these things, as it's what i really like to do now and maybe i will find some good inspiration and new ideas.
Mainly i will be around with my setup, that consists in a laptop computer an a few musical "toys" that fit in a bag. I just bought an apple macbook pro after i got the old one stolen, losing a lot of work, so i'm worried to carry it around and maybe even leaving it in the room and be too exposed to thieves.
Do you think this kind of worries are concrete? Do you usually use laptop in bars, beaches? Is it safe enough? Or i'm too paranoic (probably still shocked for what happened with the old one). I've even put a sort of localization software now, hopefully it will work in D.R..
The other concern is about how it works to stay more than three month: as citizen from EU i can stay this amount of time and then if i'm not wrong i need to do some papers and ask a permit, right? I've also read about people overstaying and then paying a sort of fee. But in this case i need a return ticket? I'm buying a one way ticket as i don't have a return date yet.
Do you have a link to a website where i can find this kind of information? What would you suggest?
The other are things i'd like to ask are:
Would you suggest to get a medical insurance? Are the dentists expensive in D.R.?
Are any storms tornado expected in the next months?
I really hope to get some help from you guys!
Thanks in advance.
