    10/2015 - DR extended stay fees increased

    Migracion publishes new extended stay fees.

    For non-resident tourist cardholders, the fee for staying from 61 to 90 days is now RD$2,500.

    If a visitor wishes to extend their stay from three to nine months, they pay RD$4,000. To stay for a year, the fee is RD$5,000.

    Still very inexpensive,try over staying in Colombia,over staying one day will cost you the same as over staying six months in the DR.

    Looks like they extended the initial stay from 30 to 60 days. I remember paying out for stays longer than 30 days...... This works for me!!!

    I and I think a lot of people are confused on this, because if you go to the tourist card page on the Dominican Govt website, it says the tourist card is good for 30 days.

    I have seen the posts elsewhere about the extended stay fees being changed, but have not seen anything anywhere that states your initial stay can now be up to 60 days. Has anyone seen this?

    This is what I cannot find anywhere.

    From http://www.dgii.gov.do/tarjetaTurist...s/default.aspx

    About the Tourist Card


    Dirección General de Impuestos Internos / Tarjeta de Turísta / Tourist Card / About the Tourist Card




    Comprar Tarjeta Turista / Purchase the Tourist Card / Acheter la Carte de Touriste

    The Tourist Card is a tax the Dominican Republic charges its visitors. Its legal base rests on the Law 199-67, which establishes the acquisition of such card as a requirement to enter national territory, for tourism purposes, without the need of a consular Visa.
    Law 199-67 establishes that the right to the Tourist Card is automatically lost if the beneficiary engages in lucrative activities while in Dominican territory. Furthermore, the inappropriate use of the Card will be sanctioned by the National Migration Authorities with immediate expulsion of the visitor from the country dispensing with any formalities. Foreigners wishing to enter the Dominican Republic for business purposes shall apply for a Business Visa, with one or multiple entries, at one of the many diplomatic and consulate offices overseas.

    The Tourist Card allows a stay of 30 days in the country, after which, if wishing to stay longer, the Tourist can extend his or her stay paying a fee which will be proportional to the amount of time he or she wishes to remain in the country. If information on the matter is needed, contact the Ministry of Migration.
    To obtain a Tourist Card the only requirements are a Valid Passport and the payment of aUS$10.00 or €10.00fee.
    The Tourist Card is valid for a year from the date of purchase and is only valid for one person, who will only be able to use it once. The Tourist Card can be acquired at point of sale locations in land, air, or sea ports in the country; it is also available in Dominican embassies and consulate offices overseas and in Tour operating companies. It may also be purchased through the online portal at www.dgii.gov.do.
    [COLOR=#4A6E00 !important]Who is exempt?

    All tourists entering the Dominican Republic should purchase a Tourist Card except countries with which the Dominican Republic has previous agreements.
    Tourist exempted from the Tourist Card purchase are:

    • Residents, Visa holders and Dominican nationals.
    • Foreigners arriving from Argentina, Chile, South Korea, Ecuador, Israel, Japan, Peru and Uruguay.
    • Diplomatic and Consular staff with assigned missions in the country, while they remain on duty.
    • Passengers using private, noncommercial aviation as long as the aircraft fulfills the following requirements: the trip must be for sport, leisure, executive, tourism and business purposes, and the aircraft must not weigh more than thirty thousand pounds (30,000) and have a maximum capacity of 12 passengers.
    • Haitian nationals having a card that validates their entry and exit of the country the same day. The use of this Card is fully explained under Art. 78 of the Migration Law .It also specifies that this card will only be valid in the Dominican province which borders the residence in Haiti of the holder .If not, a Tourist Card must be bought.




    So what happens between day 31-60??? For those who need a Tourist Card, be prepared to pay 2500 pesos just in case.

    Just checked through immigration at the Santiago airport, on my way OUT of the country. I asked the immigration officer how long the tourist card is valid for now, and she said 60 days.

    So there you have it. The government just has to catch up with all their publications I guess.

    Not sure what is more bizarre, taking the word of a Dominicana or expecting accurate info from the Dominican govt.

    Re: 10/2015 - DR extended stay fees increased

    So ,I am leaving from POP yesterday and I have 56 days on the ground... They ask me how many days and tell me I have to pay 2500pesos because I am over 30 days.....present me with a list of the tarrifs with no date on it.

    I explained to them how it had been changed to

    CP-PP-01-01 61 DÍAS A 90 DÍAS 2,500.00

    and that my last stay was 35 days and I did not have to pay.

    The discussion got pretty heated as I had had my full of the darme crap that goes along with being in the DR. To shut me up they ran me thru another line without paying extra. I was curious so I went back to the website today and sure enough they changed it back to 30 days..

    Bringing money into their economy, not taking anybody's job. Paying taxes with every dollar you spend. Employing people with every dollar you spend.

    You would think they would want to induce you to stay longer and thank you for your extended stay.
    Its not as if they don't need the money.

    I recently had to return to the U.S. to take care of some business,I had been in the DR for 92 days. They told me that I had to pay 4000 pesos which was the correct amount,which I was prepared to pay and I gladly did. As soon as the guy had the money in his hands he whistled over to the two nearest "officers" and gave them each 1000 pesos before putting the other 2000 in his pocket. I love this country,hahaha.

    This is good to know. How many people stay for 61 days or more? my longest trip was 8 days. I think I would lose my mind if I was in DR for 61 days.

    It's called transitioning to live there. Many live in DR 3-6 months at a time for a few years before moving there permanently.
