Santiago vs. Puerto Plata by wondering9
So if my goal was to spend a couple of months exploring the north coast, using public transportation rather than a private car, which in your opinion would make a better base, Santiago or Puerto Plata? I know Santiago is inland, but it seems to be ...
My opinion, and it is only an opinion, is this: If you are thinking of exploring the North Coast, it makes sense to be based there. Santiago is nice, and likely less expensive than Puerto Plata, but much busier and crowded. You'd still have to ... Read More

I have a question about DR government rules regarding Part-Time domestic help. I had a part-time maid who worked a few hours per day, once a week, at her own convenience, and sometimes only a couple of times a month. At the end of the month she ...
The best way, not what the laws say, but the best way, is to just pay them as if they were employees. I guarantee you, if you don't, even though they are not entitled to the severance or Christmas pay legally, you will be taken to court and you ... Read More

Hi all.My name is Teck. We currently reside in Ontario Canada. On our last trip we started to talk to an owner of a 10 unit apartment building that a friend lives in. The owner wants to sell his building and property and my wife and I are interested ...
@tliew1 At the risk of sounding jaded, which I promise you I'm not, DON'T. Don't even entertain the idea. Punta Cana is NOT the Dominican Republic, it is a giant tourist area. But, it is still the DR for rentals. Unless you have a huge appetite ... Read More
My Personal Experience with the Naturalization Process in the DR by Profe Agayu
First, it is a must to point out that I love the Dominican Republic! This country, with all its good and not so good, is one of my favorite places to be. However, this place gets a bad rep, especially when dealing with services, specifically legal ...
When you say "Naturalization", do you mean Temporary Residency, Permanent Residency, Citizenship, or are you part Dominican getting Citizenship? It is a term used by many, oftentimes for many different things. Read More

Local currency vs usd by Tafaf NatatRayay Nafermul Min
What is the ratio of local currency vs usd? Where would an affordable apt with ac located? Can I live on $1400 usd/ month?
@latoyalatoya511 No, not even close. Depending on the industry, and the number of employees, the minimum wage varies. The minimum for a small or micro business is just under $15,000 RD/month or less than $250 US/month. The highest minimum wage ... Read More
how do you vet a lawyer in the DR (besides word of mouth)? by wondering9
I'm wondering what I should do, besides word of mouth, to check out a Dominican Republic immigration lawyer. Is there an organization similar to, for example, the American Bar Association, that has a list of all lawyers in good standing? I looked up ...
@wondering9 Just because they're licensed doesn't mean they're good. There are several, well-known, lawyers who run large operations and are nothing but scammers. Word of mouth is the ONLY way to vet a lawyer, and from somebody you know and trust ... Read More
Investors Visa Status by smusc75
Is there a website where one can check the status of their investor's visa application? I submitted all of my paperwork to my immigration lawyer back in February 2024 and as of now my lawyer keeps avoiding giving me a status update. It has been 10 ...
Exactly as ddmcghee says. On initial application, the lawyer handled everything. When it was time for renewal, I asked the lawyer for the login credentials and renewed online without legal help. If your lawyer is not willing to share the login ... Read More
