Russia has stopped delivering natural gas through the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany and western Europe. This winter is a good time to consider a long-term rental or property purchase in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has around 90,000 hotel rooms.

The Dominican Republic also has a vast inventory of more than the 90,000 rooms in competitively priced villas, houses and apartments for rent or sale all around the country.

It could just cost you the same to stay in Europe as to travel for a month or two, or more, to the Dominican Republic to pass the worst of the European winter.

As reported, deliveries through NS1 that transports natural gas from fields belonging to the Russian Gazprom to the German Baltic coast, have dropped significantly since Vladimir Putin launched the war on Ukraine in February 2022.

How ever the DR makes it very difficult to extend tourist Visas and even obtain a temp RS visa, to get a temp RS Visa you have to apply and visit your home country consulet prior to travel to the DR, you can not start the process for a TS visa in the DR
You hit it right on the head..... that is why overstay fee is always in play..

You just pay the overstay fine and leave. Thousands do it every year.
Yes but not everyone understands that and are comfortable with it. They should make it legal the overstaying. Didn’t someone post they call it an “impuesto” - a tax. So maybe it is legal.

It's good Russia has decided to shut off the gas.
Perhaps the Europeans will come to their senses.
Russians, Germans and Ukrainians are more than
welcome to travel to the Dominican Republic for as
long as they like so long as they bring their pocketbooks
with them.

Ukraine was listed at # 122 on Transparency.org's Global
Corruption index in 2021, just 6 slots ahead of the Dominican Republic.
Zelenskyy belongs in prison. I hope the Ukrainians lose.

I am sick and tired of hearing "I support Ukraine" from the same
lame idiots who call people "fascist" Let us not forget the amount of
Polish Jews who were butchered and murdered by the Ukrainian
Nazi's at the start of WW2.

Way too many important facts are being omitted now a days.
People need to learn history.

Agree but not legal and if your long term or short term many times you cannot get banking, cable TV unless you pay 3 months ahead...you miss out on the benefits of having a RS and to ur point paying the exit tax,

Russia shuts off natural gas to Germany...

The only way Dominicans can understand what is like to be in Germany without natural gas during the winter.

When did Ukraine gain independence from Russia?

Ukraine officially declared itself an independent country on 24 August 1991, when the communist Supreme Soviet (parliament) of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of USSR and only the laws of the Ukrainian SSR, de facto declaring Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union.

Correct history lesson.
Same people, although a few lines have been redrawn.
They have yet to apologize to the people of
Poland and this is now causing a lot of tension
as Poland is currently housing a million Ukrainians.
Again, know your history.
The Russians fought against the Nazis
and won. That same group of Ukrainian
Nazi sympathizers of yester year are the
Azon Batallón of today.
Again, I hope they
lose and Zelenskyy is removed.... permanently.

I don't want to get banned for whatever...
so I'll let you have the last word.

Should Russia invade Poland to kill the hiding Ukrainian Nazi's and after that go into Germany to clean up hiding German Nazi's? Concerning the overstay fee in the DR, I guess you can say that it is similar to how many countries have approached marijuana; it is not legal yet, just "decriminalized" Many people would prefer to pay the "fee" rather than put up with all the nonsense and requirements of the residency and its renewal process, just to get a few perks.

Europe
More countries in Europe depends on Northstream2 (Putin gas), the pipeline only lands in Germany and the gas is transported further from there. By the way, people have themselves to blame for thinking that Russians are reliable trading partners.....don't know if the same applies to Russian women.
Also good to know the inflation rates:
13% inflation here in the Netherlands.... so I know what I'm going to do with my rental rates in 2023
