Overstay/Exit fine went up last week?!?!?!
As per usual it will depend on who you get. A friend left lat month after over a year, was just shuffled on through, didn't pay a thing. He was about to explain and go through the dates entering till then and the guy just said 'no problem, ya!' waved him on past.
Although appears that they are getting organized, it believe as long as it involves competency, it is still Lotto Dominicano!

It gives you permission to be here. It is basically for the stateless Haitians but us gringos can benefit from it too.
Not sure how long you've been here but i believe you only need 6 months to apply.
(could be wrong on that, but i think so)
Vinyasa, obviously YOU have not TRIED to go through the "Regularization" process!!!!!
I have an American friend in Santiago who has been "TRYING" for over 6 months!!!
Even the dominicans at the office have no idea what is needed.
He has been sent to Santo Domingo twice, and the requierments changed MANY TIMES!!!!
It was meant to help the Haitians,...Soooooooooooooooooooooooo do you expect it to actually work?????

Then he is clearly doing the wrong thing!
There is no need to go to SD. Everything can be done in Pop.
I am currently in the process....time will tell
Ok, just read your post properly!
Santiago may well be more complicated, but Pop is strangely organised
I guess it gives you a 1 year permission, then you have to do the "normal" residency process to stay here. I read this in another thread:
"The Dominican government started the implementation of the National Legalization Plan earlier this month to legalize the status of all immigrants who entered into Dominican territory illegally, as well as of those who, having entered legally, overstayed the period of admittance.
The Dominican government will grant a special identification card to all foreigners residing irregularly in Dominican Republic, provided that they can establish that they had been residing in the country on a permanent basis before the new immigration regulations came into effect on October 11, 2011.
The ID card will be valid for one year and the holder, upon expiration, may apply for regular residency under Immigration Law 258-04"

But who knows
I suspect that the 2 year Regularizacion will inevitably be extended.
They are already talking about extending the date by which applications must be in by, due to a backlog

It is in the building between the headquarters of the Polic?a Nacional and the Polideportivo on Avenida Luis Ginebra. That building is the office of the governor of the Province of Puerto Plata. For a while, there were huge lines there every morning. I used to see them on my way into the office each day.
Agree Redserge, To go up is one thing, but from 800 to 2500 is ridiculous. It is what it is though.... Getting tougher to travel with the medical insurance, flights have gone UP, but we'll go as long as we can.
I am not sure when the fees were last increase but it was many years ago. It is a pleasure to come here to this country and laze around in the sun, I for one am happy to pay the new overstay fees as IMO the old rates were not really effective. Love this country and hopefully the money will give a little boost to their coffers. In the last ten years my friends here in the campo have had electricity, water and a asphalt road put into the area.
I do not drink, I do not smoke. The DR tourist card is for 30 days NOT 15 and in Canada you can get a 30 day a 60 day or a 90 day card just like the USA. Your reply to my post was erroneous incorrect not factual and rude. Better sometimes to remain silent and thought a fool than to open ones mouth and confirm it.

I read somewhere that people with a temporary residency now have to pay the overstay fees when leaving, just as one would with a tourist card. That has never been the case before. I am on year two of my temp res. (will get permanent in April) and fly this month. My overstay fee will be huge if I have to pay it (and my husband!). Anyone know anything about this? What is the point of temp. residency if we still have to pay!? Arrrg.
