Hello, I'm planning to move to the DR for a minimum of 6 months.聽 I'm wondering what kind of visa i should apply for.聽 I will be working while I'm down there but, not for a Dominican company.聽 I will be teaching English online for an international company.聽聽Can I still apply for a work visa?

I would not apply for a work visa and have to get involved in DR taxes.聽 If only 6 months just pay the overstay fee when you leave.

I agree with Bob. Come on a tourist visa and pay the overstay fine when you leave.

Thanks for the advice!聽 I had a question about the residence visa.聽 So once you apply for residency you are allowed to stay in DR until your case is processed?

I imagine so but the cost will be MUCH more than paying the overstay fees.

Yes once you go thru process and apply you receive a file number. That will do you until your residencia is issued.
