Dominican Republic: Entering with tourist visa, staying a year:

Hi there, I am less than two weeks away to moving to the DR for the next year. I will be entering through the Punta Cana airport. I have decided not to apply for a Visa and will enter on my 30-day tourist card with the intention of paying a fine for my extended stay upon leaving the country next year. I have travelled many times for month-long trips to the DR but never stayed beyond the 30-day tourist-card limit. I am wondering how I should go about completing the customs forms? My guess is that Inshould be honest and say that I intend to stay in the country for over 300 days but I am afraid to be rejected entry. For those of you who have done this before (stayed longer and paid the exit taxes), how did you go about this process? Thanks!

Dominican Republic: Which Visa to get??:

Hi there, I am planning to move to the Dominican Republic in the next few months and am unsure which Visa I should apply for. The plan is to find employment in Santo Domingo but I have yet to confirm a position (I am a PhD Student in Clinical Psychology). Should I wait to find a job and apply for a work visa even though it seems that most companies will not hire me until I have moved to the country and have a Cedula? Or should I purchase a property (which I plan to do anyway) and apply for a Temporary Resident Visa? Looking at the process, it sounds like I would still need to show a substantial amount of assets beyond my property purchase which I am not sure I would be able to do. I welcome any feedback you guys might have. I should add that I am fluent in Spanish, that I have many friends in the country, and that I am quite familiar with the country, it's culture, financial situation, etc. Bottom line is, I am not jumping into this blindly but I want to proceed with this move asap and want to do it right!

Dominican Republic: Professional looking for work in Santo Domingo:

I am a Canadian Clinical Child Psychologist (PhD trained) with experience in general mental health, family therapy, and health/pediatric psychology. I am in the process of moving to Santo Domingo to live with my husband who is a Dominican National. I hope to work as a Child Psychologist. I am fluent in English, Spanish and French. I am wondering if anyone knows where to start my job search?
