This is the first I've heard of this. I'm assuming you can just extend at the airport, but how much is the fee? Coming in on Wednesday for 69 days.Ken said:Undoubtedly to make money. People staying longer can extend the time by paying another fee.
I dont think that things have changed. I noticed that the tourist card use to say good for 90 days, but some now says good for 15 days. That is strange, probably it's a error that they hav enot fixed.ninapup said:This is the first I've heard of this. I'm assuming you can just extend at the airport, but how much is the fee?

Thanks!
Dolores said:This was instated towards the end of the past administration in order to collect more revenues. The new administration has kept the measure in place, probably for the same reasons.
Basically, to stay up to 90 days you would pay an additional RD$150, or an extra US$5 at today's rate at the airport upon departure.
There is a maximum fee of RD$2,000 for staying illegal for more than seven years.

Mauricio said:That sounds incorrect. When I came back from holland in the summer to the DR had the 15 days text as well.
