@planner Right, I tried to add an article that updates the process and Government intentions to tax multiple digital platforms. But platforms like Expedia is Vrbo and going after Uber users too. I'm all for the RD gaining taxes rightfully like ... Read More

@DominicanadaMike Agree, there can be a lot of unintended consequences to these proposed changes. If the goal of the resorts is to fill up their expensive rooms, well that may or may not happen. But you could hamper foreign or domestic ... Read More

Police Reform by Guest2022
This has become a necessary topic to share with expats living or thinking of living in DR. Almost two thirds of Dominicans do not have confidence in their police force. The Domincan police have been very poorly paid for a very long time, are of ...
I'm wondering how many times "police Reform" has taken place in the RD? I have heard about the multiple times the Tourist Police has been modified to include name changes. I personally don't have an opinion on the police other than ... Read More

We cannot limit to only govt posts. That would mean no outside posts whatsoever and that's not helpful either. I believe opinions backed by facts are fine. Open discussion without name calling is fine. Repeating debunked misinformation is ... Read More

It really doesn't matter, look at how the general population including businesses in the RD follow the law, no matter what law it is. It will be like anything else, some will follow the rules, some will not. This is a simple concept, you ... Read More

All I know is, I for one, will not live in fear. Been vaccinated, if it doesn't work and I die, there's three things at work, natural selection, fate, and God's plan. Relax and focus on the beauty of life everyday. Or not! :cool: Read More

I understand there are many variables, but the country is vaccinating at a decent rate. Most of La Altagracia/Punta Cana area is well over 70% and in the resort areas are close to100% vaccinated. It's time to reopen the economy and try to return ... Read More

Did I marry a Chapia? by SonOfaSailor
