Tourist Card Information
On Feb 1 2012 19:38 CHUCKJER said:
Mr. Chuck,
You are allowed to stay up to 60 days with the Tourist Card.
To extend the stay you will need to visit the Immigration Department located
at Avenida 30 de Mayo, Esquina Héroes de Luperon, Santo Domingo Phone:
809-508-2555 (at least 10 days before the expiration of the 60 days).
There you will ask for an extension. The extension is for 90 days and it
will cost you approx. $150 dollars
If you plan to stay more than that (60 + 90) you might want to consider to
apply for a provisional residency instead of an extension.
It will cost you more, but it will allow to stay in DR for one year and it
can be renewed for 2 more years without the need for you to stay for long
period in Dominican Republic.
Hope this helps to answer your questions. If not, please feel free to email
us at anytime.
Best Regards,

Hey Chuck,
Ignore this completely. I've been here for a year at a time, sometimes longer, for th last 25 years, and just pay the exit fee when i leave. There's several people that i know living in Cabarete right now, including Russians, Canadians,Europeans, and Americans, who have been here years as well, and just pay the exit fee when they go home for vacation. If you want to become a resident, feel free to go through the process, but you're certainly under no obligation to do it.

If there was something illegal about staying past 60 days and not applying for this extension for 90 days, then 80% of the foreigners living here on this island would arrested upon their departure when everyone has to go through immigration. How is it that everyone living here--who has not applied for this stupid extension--manage to pay the "Exit fee" and simply continue on their way to their departure gate? of everyone i know living in Cabarete, maybve 20% have gone through the process of applying for a residence visa. Furhter more, why does immigration simply charge you for over-staying the 90 days if there was something illegal about it? There's a Canadian guy that just went home for two weeks this past June after being here 7 years without a residence visa. You what they said to him at immigration? Pay this amount, sir. Thank you!

How much is the Exit fee? And I travel so it would not matter to me if they baned me from coming back. But I love Dominican and want to see more of it, and its my dollars that keeps some of the Dominicans fed, so u would think they would welcome us as long as We wanted to stay?? Anyway thanks..

Also I wonder if it depends on which airport you leave from because my exgirlfriend tells me her father from florida had to pay a fine when he overstayed his visit. Las Americans airport is where I think he left from? So I don't know??

Chuck,
The exit fee goes up incrementally, starting at a few hundred pesos for a few extra weeks to several thousand pesos after a few years. it caps/maxes out at a certain level...but i forget. i think my canadian friend who left in June paid something like $400 or $500 after being here 7 years!!!
I have never heard of anyone, ever, getting into trouble for over-staying there exit fee here. So, the claim up above is totally unprecedented and unsupported and unenforced and absurd. period. I work at a restaurant here and meet people everyday who over stay there exit visas by several months, if not years, and not once, have I ever heard of anyone, ever, getting into trouble. you simply pay the amount which is printed on a chart and you leave and return whenever you want. this claim up above is the craziest thing i have ever read anywhere regarding tourists.

Well those wo leave here illegally may regret it sooner than they think. More and more control are effectuated by the police and you are just lucky enough to have gone through the net. Just beware.

Please also note that people who live here more than 3 months, will need a residency card and cedula in order to obtain a Dominican driving licence so that you will be covered for accidents, thefts etc... by your insurance co. This is compulsory.Unfortunately insurance co here do NOT tell you and just take your money.

Why pay $4800 for a couple for residency (1 year plus renewal for 2 more) and then have to pay another $2000 per couple to get the final residency. As most of the above people noted - overstaying does NOT make you illegal - you just pay a prorated set fee when you leave that is way way less than the above. Also, why do lawyers not tell you that if you buy a condo here you can go right to citizenship for a lot less than the residency process, while keeping your citzenship back in what veer country you came from. Lawyers do not tell you as they make money!
