    From what I understand the tourist visas will remain more or less the same, but this is the DR so who really knows!

    I've had various discussions with some folks about what is required to open a bank account and buy Certificates of Deposit here, only to be told I don't know what I'm talking about, even though a BPD vice president gave them to me.

    You'll notice that all the requirements I've been telling folks are listed.
    This is just my opinion, but I think the ULTIMATE plan perhaps is to SEIZE the Bank accounts, of those DEPORTED..
    Didnt Panama seize all the Bank assets of all the big time Drug Dealers back in the day, those who had made huge deposits there, thinking it was safe ?
    Dont forget, the DR is NOT the USA , where you have Due Process. and all that pesky constitution & Bill of Rights stuff.(sarcasm)
    thoughts ?

    Still should be moved, to the immigration section of the board, so that those who want the information, can find it under the immigration section and not have to go through 60 something pages of Robert's life to find the information. If they even know or remember it is here.

    Re: immigration posts

    I'm anxious to see how this plays out. If they enforce the new law, the 6 month snowbirds will stop coming. They won't waste their time getting a residency and they won't waste the thousands of dollars it takes to get it. How will they police all of this? The only way I can see how they can control it is at the airport when you leave....and you're on your way out anyway.

    Is that tin foil hat on tight enough? The ULTIMATE plan is to remove all Haitians from the Dominican Republic. However, due to pressure from the UN, OAS, etc., the DR can no longer just go up to black people, ask them to say "perejil" and then remove them from the country. In order to continue being internationally recognized and obtain loans from IMF and World Bank, as well keep allowing foreign companies to bribe politicians to destroy DR's natural resources, the govt has to achieve it's goals of removing every Haitian from the country by enacting a general anti-immigrant law and enforcing it on all non-Dominicans and not just Haitians. That way, the next time Martelly goes to the UN to complain about the treatment of Haitians in the DR, Danilo can say "It's not because they're Haitian, it's because we treat all illegal aliens that way." The expats with money in the bank don't have much to worry about since with modern electronic banking, they can transfer their money to almost any other bank in the world. The expats that have bought real estate or businesses are the ones that could be fucked.

    Well I guess if the D.R. is successful in getting rid of the Haitianas that are not fully documented many of our members will be moving to Haiti for their Haitian fix, or vacationing there, ...... I guess I will see you guys around.

    I doubt it's gonna go as easy as it seems and throwing out gringos that spend ridiculous amounts of money makes no sense. However, being that is makes no sense is what worries me. I guess we will wait and see.

    I read on DR1 that the tourist visa will now be for 60 days with an option to renew for a further 60 days. Not sure how accurate this info is.

    All very accurate except for that last sentence. 1st off, you can't even sign a lease without Dominican sponsorship if you don't have at least a residency visa. You have no standing in a court without it. It's nothing like the USA. You have no rights to speak of except to get on the plane (if they let you) and go the fuck back to wherever you came from. This is clearly not aimed at "Gringos or Euros" and is just as clearly aimed directly at the Millions of Haitians who currently reside in the Dominican Republic.

    Oh sure, they'll find some deadbeat Gringo/Euro trash to hold up as front Men for their "crackdown on illegal immigration" but everyone can see where this is going. It's a Dominican logic application:

    "My Dog has fleas. The Eco lovers will stop supporting me if I spray the Dog, the animal rights people will stop supporting me if I put one of those carcinogenic collars on it and I need their money, what can I do? Hmmm......I'm going to shave the Daam Dog!".
