Our friend from Sweden applied at the Dominican embassy in Sweden and finished the rest in Santo Domingo by herself, no lawyer. She just took a friend that spoke Spanish. She said it was easy and very cheap. So if you speak Spanish or have somebody that does, you don't need a lawyer.

We have been hearing,聽 and reading that the tourist visa has officially been changed from 30 to 60 days....start paying overstay on the 61st day.
Any truth, or based on rumor, or wishful thinking?
Thanks!

Thanks for reposting the fee schedule.聽 And yes people need to realize the fee is calculated to the day you land here if you are over the 30 tourist visa, and not from day 31 after your tourist visa/card expires.

Bob K.

Still don't understand it that well.If the fee starts 30 days after one lands, then is the 90 days聽 the same and the next category is from 91 days after one gets here? And what does anyone know about crossing into Haiti?聽 In Central AMerica a "Visa run" requires one to be on the other side of the border for 72 hours. Any one know about this aspect of things?

CP-PP-01-06聽聽 24 A 30 MESES 9,500.00
CP-PP-01-07聽聽 30 A 36 MESES 11,000.00

IF you stay 1 day over then the fine is calculated from聽 the very first day of your trip not from the first day of your overstay.

You arrived August 3rd,聽聽start聽 counting from that day.聽 get to day 61 and apply the fine as above 2,500. Get to day聽 91 and it goes to 4,000.

You only need to leave and re enter. BUT I would not consider Haiti for small overstay fines - it costs US 60 to leave Haiti! (that may have gone up)

You always need a tourist card.聽 As of now no issues coming back. Be prepared to pay the overstay fine.

No matter where you stay, you need a tourist card. It applies for each visit, so when you come back next time, you will pay again. It does not matter how many times a year you come and go.

Above is correct.聽 I actually left on a 7 day cruise 2 years ago leaving from Santo Domingo and arriving a week later back in Santo Domingo

Everyone (non residents) needed to pay overstay fees if applicable as well as a new tourist card when we got back to port

Do they only take payment in pesos when leaving? Since they only take US dollars when arriving? And it must be Cash no credit cards correct?

Yes 2500 is right. I have heard that they pulled in back to 30 days instead of the sixty it was at for a while.聽 Have no personal knowledge,, but either way it is the same for you. WHen getting off the plane is when you buy the tourist card unless it is included in the price of your ticket.
