Nope. I've not checked lately, but I know of "maestros de construcción" (can't remember the word in English right now) that explicitly used Haitians, not because there's no Dominicans, but because they pay Haitians half or even 1/3 of what they would pay a Dominican.
My point to include this was that if they cannot even enforce such a simple thing as NO alcohol before and during the election when even those who should be enforcing it are drinking, then I wouldn't hold my breath that they would enforce even more complex issues.
On that same note, why only mention Haitians? If there would be any justice ALL illegal immigrants should be thrown out, even those who are living in big houses and pay to leave should be deported and hunted down just as the Haitians...
And also if all haitian workers would be deported, then...
And people wonder why I (and others) advice against living on the NC.. it's not that it doesn't happen in other parts of the country it's just that in reality these are small communities and because there is ONLY one road, if your heading from Sosúa to POP or the other way around there's NO WAY...
Well then that doesn't make any sense, because if you already have a VALID Schengen visa, no matter which country approved it, you don't need a "special" visa to enter just into Spain, that's just NOT how it works. If you have a VALID Schengen visa you are eligible to enter any of the member...
And if you want to live a calm area that is also near nature, I'd rather choose Jarabacoa/Constanza or Jamao. Cabarete/Sosúa are for 2 things, one thing I'm not going to mention as I'm sure everyone knows what it is.. and the other are the many beaches. It's hard to deny but The NC and Samana...
Good for you
1. Obviously it depends on what you are looking for.
2. Good for you, I've had mixed results. I have problem with high blood preassure, went to one doctor who told me that I also had some minor heart issues, then shortly afterwards I went back as I had a blood clot in one of my...
You must have not read that the reason why they needed the visa was because the flight had to go to Madrid.. So yeah they would need a visa to Schengen (Spain) but also to the UK...
@Drperson
Do you know why they were rejected? Because I've heard a couple that were rejected because the embassy...
Well I can only speak for the POP province, but as a few have already mentioned.
Lack of supplies, you can prepare a list of groceries you want to buy and very often you can go to several "supermarkets" and they don't have the products for months.
Lack of health providers, there are a few good...
Maria, come on.. you know as well as I do that it's not "can't" but rather shouldn't.. I know of quite a few foreigners who lived here for YEARS and they are working here illegally, have businesses here, rentals as well. It's also possible to get local health insurance just with a passport. It's...
I had to do it once, because I wasn't allowed to renew my residency because my passport had less than 1 year left before it expired. So I had to pay the "fee" and then pay the penalty fee for an expired residency and cedula.
Kind of annoying, because I have to go back every 5 years to renew my...
Lol "a los nueve días del mes de mayo del año mil novecientos sesenta y seis" So this document is from 1966, almost 60 years ago. Wonder if it ever was modified? I mean " La tarjeta de turismo podrá adquirirse[...] al precio de RD$2.00 cada una." :ROFLMAO:
Agree, it's cheper to overstay 1 year...
Don't know about newer cars, but I can confirm that's not the case at least for my first car I bought. 18 years old, a 1989 FORD Escort. Before leaving home I was checking the oil level but forgot to put the oil dipstick all the way in. So less than 10 minutes later I got to my school's parking...
Not necessarily, you should show solvency, and if that means a letter of employment then yes, if the applicant gets money other way they should show that with for example bank statement.
Lol, what I was asking for was to know if these "dummy tickets" are actually accepted? Because any...
Would be nice if someone "real" could confirm that these are valid though. They seem quite sketchy. When my wife has applied for a Schengenvisa through the Spanish authorities we've always bought the ticket as I've also never understood the concept of "reserving" an airline ticket.
I mean...
Maybe because we like it when it's quiet and relatively calm. Before the pandemic there were the occasional power outages, the occasional water issue. Traffic during normal week days were not too busy, it would take normally about 5-10 minutes to get to the supermarket from where I live. TODAY...
Cab First? For what reason? All the expats?
Since when does Jarabacoa, Bonao, La Vega, Salcedo, Tenares, Macoris and Santiago belong to North COAST? Do any of these cities have a coast? :unsure:
