About

I have lived in Florida most of my life. I retired from a manufacturing business in 2004 and moved to El Salvador. I travel extensively through Central America and the Caribbean for business. Recently, I decided that I wanted to reduce my traveling but continue representing several manufacturers in select areas. The Dominican Republic is my choice for future residence. I know the island well, but visiting for a week or two on business and living there are two different things. I have a household of furniture, etc., in El Salvador that I want to transport to the DR. I am looking for help in doing that. I want to acquire DR residency which I also need help with. I plan to live at a higher elevation since I am uncomfortable in the heat. I have been looking in the Cambita de Garabito near San Crist贸bal but there doesn't seem to be any Internet service. Now, I am going to look a little farther from Santo Domingo on the road from Bonao to Constanza because I understand there is broadband service along that road feeding to Constanza. Need help finding professional advisers who can tell me what to do. I speak good Spanish.

Thanks, Bob, When you say residency do you mean permanent or provisional? How long does it take to get the provisional residency? I had planned to send a container from El Salvador to the DR with used household goods, but if the taxes are that high, ... Read More

Can't get iTunes in DR by william82462

Apple USA tells me I can't use my USA credit cards to subscribe to iTunes for use in the Dominican Republic. Sounds crazy, but they say I must open an account in the DR to access iTunes and purchase Apple aps. I presume an alternative is buying ...

Philbee

William, another option might be to use a proxy server such as Spotflux. When you connect through a proxy, iTunes would not know you were outside of the US. iTunes may have some sort of restriction prohibiting proxies, but I haven't run any while ... Read More

Philbee

thanks for your reply, planner Would a provisional residency exempt me from taxes or would I have to have permanent residency? I could possibly get a provisional residency by August but not anything else. How do I find a lawyer. I have contacted ... Read More

Thanks for responding. Looking at the map, Jarabacoa is not very far from where I intend to look. You're right, Constanza is too isolated. I intend to look on the road to that city not too far from Autopista Duarte which would be about an hour ... Read More
