Hi
I have been living in DR for 2 years so far. Every 3 months I go to the capital and get a 90 day extension for my tourist visa. I do not plan to live here for more than another 2 years so do not want to get residency.
I have heard from many people (but can find nothing online about it) that this current situation is no longer permitted. I have heard that you can have 60 days when you first arrive and that is it. If you wish to stay longer you MUST start residency (for which I have been quoted US$1000) or pay $450 for a medical in order to get another 60 days.
Please, does anyone know the truth? When my current tourist card finishes in the middle of February will I have to make the choice of either leaving the country or paying for residency?
Awaiting your answers .... ?
Thank you.
