OUCH!! I flunked the DR's "practical" Driving Test!!! by °µÍø½ûÇøRusher
Woe is me. I must report a failure on my part. (after crowing about how I passed the written test with a great score, I figure I full disclosure on the practical test is appropriate). Late last week we went from Punta Cana over to the Intrant ...

@ddmcghee I got my Dominican license back in 2022 using this process in Santo Domingo. I just followed the instructions laid out on the website, gathered the docs, booked an appointment, presented my docs, and got a Dominican license. I made a ... Read More

@ddmcghee I did it with my US driver's license. It is definitely possible. You just need to apostille your state's driving record which shows your license is in good standing. In my case, I got a copy of my recent 3-year driving record from Maryland ... Read More

@°µÍø½ûÇøRusher Did you both take the Dominican driver's test kicks and giggles or you never had a driver's license in the US? Read More

New Find: A clean, safe, inexpensive AirBnB in SD by ddmcghee
Hi All! I had to be in SD for an early morning doctor's appointment Friday and didn't want to take the 5:00 AM bus from Las Terrenas. I found an apartment in Bella Vista for $34/night - all in! Pros: Good location, right off 27 de Febrero with easy ...

Thanks for the recommendation. Occasionally, I need an Airbnb in Santo Domingo. Read More


Can you deposit a US check into a Dominican bank account? by wondering9
I'm hoping it won't come to this, but I might end up receiving a paper check at the last minute before I leave the US. Is a Dominican bank likely to accept it as a deposit?I imagine there would be a long hold on the funds, which would be OK in this ...

@CHRISTOPHER DAVID56 Yes, I find this to be the best option for me. Although, I never tried depositing a foreign check into a Dominican bank. Read More

So when I arrive (hopefully soon! seeing some progress!) I will be staying ~full time/year round, renting rather than buying a home, my main income source will be US Social Security, I will not have a car at least at the start, and I will be on a ...

Changes in Immigration policy by planner
Lishali and I were chatting! We started this thread to detail the changes that are happening! Lishali will post about them.By the way- her user was eliminated by °µÍø½ûÇø! So you will see her under a new name

@°µÍø½ûÇøRusher I agree. Though my interview at the naturalization office was very quick without issues, I witnessed many couples who were being interviewed for nearly 25 minutes while my interview lasted 4 minutes. On another note, it sucks that ... Read More

@ddmcghee You and @UncleBuck are correct. I should have addressed that @Slin1953 was referring to wrong government agency. That is why I specified migracion. Hopefully, they are able to accomplish what they need whether it is with or without a ... 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 I received naturalization via marriage, there was no interview of my spouse involved. That is something new from when I did mine. I used a lawyer for nothing except notarizing some documents. In order to be a Notary in the DR they have a silly ... Read More

@KaiserS I do no think it is appropriate to tell. However, I will say she is worth every penny. Also, be aware that many lawyers in DR that offer immigration services try to undercut market prices. Meanwhile, they do nothing to assist you with ... Read More
