New members of the Dominican Republic forum, introduce yourselves here - 2021

Welcome Jacque!

I'll send you some further info on traveling with your dog in a PM so we can keep this topic on track!

Thank you!

Hello fellow Canauks, Yanks, Brits and all else...Scottish-Born, Canadian-raised...

Welcome to the forums!  I see you are already asking questions on the threads!  Yayyy!

Hello I am a 41 year old Zimbabwean interested in relocating to the Dominican Republic. I am based in Zimbabwe, Africa, and my wife is based in China. I have been working in Human Resources for over 17 years and have recently completed an International MBA with the International Graduate School in Germany.

Welcome to the forums.  Please read the thread on residency.  That is where you start if you are looking to relocate.

Hello everyone,
My name is Marcel, I'm from Slovakia, but the last few years I've lived mostly in Spain, as my wife is Spanish. We travel a lot and he have lived in Spain, Australia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Peru and other countries. In 2016-2017 we spent almost a year in Las Terrenas, we loved it,  and now we are coming back for good :-) 
As we had already lived in Las Terrenas, we know what to expect from a daily life in DomRep, but I'm joining this forum to learn form experience of others with the "new topics" that will come - getting residency, car purchase, and other "long-term stay" topics.

Welcome to the forums!

I'm in Las Terrenas as well - moved here in July 2020.

Welcome to the forums.  Start with the threads on residency to figure that part out early on!  Lots of other great info and whenever you need start a thread!

Hi, my name is Tionne and I am from England. I work in the real estate industry. I moved to DR in November and will be selling real estate throughout the Island. I live in Santo Domingo. If anybody has any questions or needs help finding a property, I’d love to help

Welcome to the forums.  I am also in Santo Domingo if you need anything!

Hello!
My name is Mariel
I currently live in GA, USA
I am currently building a home in Bavaro Punta Cana, and I am very excited! The construction should be over Dec 2022, but I am very interested in networking and finding a remote job. I currently invest in real estate and planning on keep doing so while down there. I am not rich by any means and I am currently pregnant, married and 27 years old. I have dreamt of moving to PC my whole life and now that I’m about to start a family feels like the perfect time. Can someone help me find a remote job or guide me in the right direction? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.


PS; decided to build as a form of investment, figured it’d be a safe bet with the current growth in PC.

Thanks for the advice
One love❤️❤️✌🏽

Hi Mariel - welcome to the forum!

Finding remote work will be much easier to do from the US! There are a lot of companies that now allow remote work, but you’ll need to ensure that you can work outside the country. You also need to understand the tax implications and requirements for residency here.

I suggest reading over all the pinned posts, particularly those on residency, and then search through the other posts for answers to your questions. If you have additional questions, you can start a new thread. With the group of expats we have on here, someone will likely have an answer to anything you need!

Welcome to the forums.   Lots to read and learn on here honey!    If we can help,  ask your questions in the various forums!

My name is Wayne I am looking to relocate to las terrines from Texas. But just recently looked in to it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Welcome Wayne! Search through all the threads on the forums - lots of info on Las Terrenas out there. If you have additional questions, start a new thread or send me a PM. We moved to Las Terrenas from the US 18 months ago.

Welcome Wayne!

Thanks how long have you been there? And how hard is it to find work?

Wayne if you would not mind keeping this for welcomes.  If you start looking at the various threads you will find places with this information for you. If you cannot find what you want go and open a new thread

Hello! My name is Cathy. My husband and I are interested in moving to DR for a semi retired working life! We have visited several time and love it there. Im a mental health professional with a lot of systems and management experience. My husband has owed his own automotive repair shop for 26 years. We are considering buying a business there but are at this point open to ideas. Thanks !

Welcome to the forums. Start by reading how you qualify for residencia so you live and work here legally.  Lots of other threads full of info too!

Hello:
My Wife and I have no plans of “moving” to the DR, but. . .   we have spent 3 to 5 months, every Winter, for the last 10 years here in Sosua.  As retired Canadians, we are attached to our free medical care.  So,  we just rent here.
