大咖福利影院

Hello everybody. I am a 62 years old Dutchman. Have just retired from 35 years with the UN, having worked and lived in 12 countries. Am planning to move to the Dominican Republic with my family (wife and 16 year old daughter) this summer and am currently looking for a good place to buy a house or apartment, preferably in a conjunto, and, most importantly, a good international school. Any advice, suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks!!

Welcome to the forums! There are a few forums with school info.聽 Do a search and if you don't find what you need feel free to open a thread on this.

Please note school registration here is pretty early, we return to school in August

Welcome Aboard Peter,

The Abraham Lincoln International school is located in La Romana on the south coast. It is British curriculum and they teach in English. $10,000 / year is the price. Grade 1 thru 12. Graduates go to Canadian, U.S. and European Universities.

La Romana, on the other hand, is a sprawling city of 150,000 people. I am re-locating to Las Terrenas on the north coast next month after 10 years in La Romana / Casa de Campo. Las Terrenas has many more beaches and a jungle feel to it even though it is a vibrant city of 40,000.....

Good luck with your search

Just a reminder the "New Member" threads are for introduction and welcome posts only.聽 Thanks everyone

Thanks for the info so far! We checked the Saint George school in Santo Domingo and really liked it. But not sure which would be the best place to live not too far from there. To be honest we were a bit put off by the traffic鈥�.

Welcome Peter. Another Dutchman here, not many of those聽 in the DR. Hope you find the info you are looking for or start a thread as Planner suggested.

Hello! I'm a retired soldier looking to move to the Dominican Republic in 1 to 3 years. I get my military retirement in 1 year and Social Security in 3. That also gives me time to pay more on my current mortgage, organize and whittle down my stuff, and research. This forum is part of my research! I'm going to go through the forum topics already covered before posting my questions! Thank you for the welcome!

Hello, my name is Draper. 63 years young,

I鈥檒l be relocating to Punta or Cap Cana, around the beginning of May 鈥�26. Ive been in Scottsdale Arizona for about 30 years, before that, Telluride Colorado. I bring with me a variety of skills to share with expats and locals alike.

I hope to forge a living as a handyman, as it is my understanding that truly skilled help can be difficult to find. I am a union master carpenter, having vested 4 decades plying my craft in the commercial construction industry.

I took a sabbatical from the trades at 44 years old and enrolled in law school. I was 50 when i finally finished with a degree. (Grueling).

I despise the BAR Association, so I've kept busy as a freelance Paralegal. (I am a lawyer not an attorney).

I look forward to donning my nail bags and helping folks with their building related endeavors.

Im not sure what the local laws restrict in that realm, so i will likely function on a small scale; contracts less than $1000.

Ive always kept busy on the side, moonlighting as a systems administrator. I am comfortable using Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android platforms.

Ive done Data Recovery, forensics and last mile wifi topography, planning, deployment and troubleshooting. I love to see the relief that comes over others when their problem is resolved. It gives me tremendous personal satisfaction.

Im a social butterfly and i love hearing about your journey. Maybe we will meet and enjoy some Cruzan.

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be part of this group.

My name is Carla, I'm Brazilian, and I've been living in the Dominican Republic,聽 an experience that has been truly amazing. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hello! I am Julie, I am 50 and hoping to one day take my pension (CPP) and retire in the Dominican. My ex husband recently bought a home in Punta and I can envision my kids moving there one day. So my goal is to try and settle there to be close to them.

I have a friend who has much experience with travelling in Sousa and she has a condo there in the next year I hope to travel with her to learn everything she knows and try to understand about relocating there within the next 10-15 years. I also have a locked in LIRA THAT I hope will help me buy my own property there one day. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

Well that was not successful, search function is not cooperating.

So let me start a thread and let's put it all in one place

I just posted the new thread!

Good morning everyone, I will soon be moving with my family to the Dominican Republic. I liked the island and I think I want to live there and bring added value with my business

Good morning,

What type of business do you have?

@k-kasas

@planner

I'll be moving to the Bavaro area, because we already have some family members who settled there.

Honey please edit your post and take out your web link.聽 It's not allowed.

You can post in the classified section!

@planner

Since I'm new, can you tell me how to delete the link, please? thank you so much for your help

On the bar below your post should be an edit option honey

@planner

Under the post I only have these options: like, reply and report. There are no other buttons. Thanks

Hello everyone,

@k-kasas, the link has been removed. I think you can not edit the post as the editing time limit has expired.

@Bhavna

Thanks for the explanation honey!聽 And for removing the link! I was unable to report the issue!

@Bhavna

Thanks everyone for your help!

@Bhavna

The new format has removed the "report" button, so the site will likely have much more spam and ads until it gets returned.聽

@UncleBuck

Hello,

This must be a glitch because the 鈥淩eport鈥� button should still appear even under the new format.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I'll forward it to the IT team.

Regards

Bhavna
