Buenos dias,

Gracias.

Actualizacion:

Saludos actualmente no hay extensi贸n para la visa tur铆stica el modo de proceder es pedir una prorroga por escrito dirigida al director de migraci贸n depositada en la sede v铆a ventanilla 3 lo cual le otorgar铆a un tiempo de el doble de su tiempo normal
Nota: Esto no le exime de pago administrativo.

Seems there is no extension to the tourist card but you can ask for an extended stay of what appears an extra 60 days.

You can use google to translate, but at least there is now a forum to contact DGM with your questions as well.

Greettings, actually there is no way to extend the turist visa,聽 the way to obtain an extension is write a letter to Direcci贸n General de Migraci贸n, deposit in the Central Office, window 3 wich will give you the double of the normal time to stay.
note:聽 Some fees may apply.

What I understood is that turist card duration of 30 days can not be extended, but you can get a permit to stay longer time than the 30 days that gives you the turist card with the double of duration.

It is challenging to me to understand how any expat would not want to have secure residency (at the very least) in the country of their spouse where they intend to live their married life.

The historical fact that DR has been and still is perhaps the most lax country in the world in enforcing it's immigration law, has and still provides what maybe a false sense of security for many.

I don't see any changes happening at airports in what I hear or read or observe when flying into DR, so I don't expect you or others flying in from North America or Europe will have anything to worry about.

But I do read that the response to illegal immigration of Haitians and Venezuelans as well as some other (non NA or EU) nationalities is being ramped up.

And I don't think the new passport arrival stamp is anything other than a physical inexcusable visible reminder to the passport holder of their permitted legal time in the country.

No. I applied but the woman at the embassy gave me the wrong Information. Can I apply for residency in Dr?

No , the residency process starts now by getting a special visa for the residency process in your passport at the Dominican Embassy in your home country.聽

Then you enter the DR and have 30 days to submit the rest of the paperwork for residency.
