Entering with tourist visa, staying a year

8 years ago

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!
