Visa Tourism
Correct
Per day? No. The time you over stay illegally and the fees are based upon each range of time you over stay.
What link is that you are quoting?
I quoted the table for those that enter on a tourist card, where the exit fees apply after 30 days.
Ah, yes. That is a description of a method to (attempt) legally extend your stay ahead of time. It is very hard to do and virtually nobody will go through that effort to get so little extra legal time. As I would say again, they really need a snowbird up to 6 month pay ahead of time visa...
Some have reported they succeeded in extending, some have reported they failed. It simply is more work than most will attempt
I am in process of Permanent residency via Pensioner application.
Fees at DR Embassy in Ottawa Canada $620.oousd.
Took less than a month to get approval from start to finish.
Will do the rest in RD after Xmas.
So far so good; and very polite people at the Embassy ; and quite professional as well.
Yup Russell.... not as difficult as some feel or say
The renewals acn be tedious but I think your route has less of those
Best of luck finishing and congratulations

I’ve been a friend of Russell and his DR family for years. We communicate frequently and I’m sure he won’t mind me telling you, after years of preparation and recent retirement, he is moving to the DR full time. Well deserved and well planned. He has helped many a DR family over the years and his DR wife and family accepted me the first time I walked in the door of his casa. I say retired but Russell’s brain and entrepreneurial skills never shut down.
johne, the answer from DR1's own lawyer has been posted and this discussed ad nauseum.
I will summarize this. If you enter the DR on a tourist card you are an illegal alien after thirty days.
But, your license from the US is valid for up to 90 days.
You can extend your stay by making two trips to Santo Domingo, the first trip within the 30 day tourist card time and paying in advance, but you need proof of solvency, a rental contract to show where you are staying, a letter asking for an extension, take a medical exam and pay the fees up front. One trip to submit all the requirements and another trip when they tell you to return to pick up the authorization to stay longer than 30 days. Not many people will use this option of travelling to Santo Domingo twice to stay legally.
Most people will just pay the exit fee. The payment of the exit fee is an administrative work around, not based upon any law you will find and that payment in no way means your oversay was legal and that detail is posted on the DR Migracion web site.
People from North America and the EU still continue to pay the exit fees and return again with apparent impunity.
Here is a link at the Migracion web site on how to pay in advance for those fees, and it even says paying ahead of time does not make you legally in the country:

Apparently I was incorrect on saying this pre-payment actually made you legal.
from that link:
NOTAS:
a. A partir de los diez (10) años, cada año o fracción, aumentará RD$ 5,000.00
b. Este pago no supone una prorroga que autorice al nacional extranjero a permanecer en el país.

I posted that on Nov 17 see post # 10. It was well covered long before you decided to post the same information. Thanks for thinking of me. Whatever, as you like to say.
To me - there are 2 options
Pay on exit or sign up.........
The unicorn idea of an overstay visa..... has yet to be seen

Hello.
Have you tried using these instructions? https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks
If you will use it in any legal capacity in another country, please keep in mind that it must be apostilled by the U.S Department of State in Washington D.C. There are many companies that offer this service.
