Accurate on most but the $2k a month is for someone trying to continue the American lifestyle. You could live good life with $1200-$1500 a month easy!

The Dominican Republic has all the things that you could expect in the Caribbean and a lot of things that you don't even expect to find, like deseart and pine forest where temperature can drop below 0°C, like Valle Nuevo in Constanza, there's everything you looking for, if you want for the bestest beaches, there it is, if you want for cold montains, there it is, even if you want for desearts or tropycal places to live, there it is, the phrase "dominican republic has it all" is very literal

I simply love the Dominican Republic... and I do wish to explore relocating/ retiring there in the next 5 to 7 years

Jarabacoa and Constanza are beautiful and clean locations in the mountains with lots to see and do!

Excellent video. Explains most of the things that are important to anyone considering a relocation. The DR is simply fabulous.

Great job! I ador the Dominica Republic I am not a beach person but I frequent beaches worldwide I am amazed at the amount of good quality beaches there are. God has blessed these people with a great beach plenty of food extremly good weather, and a rich and divers culture. It kills me how a Dominican will go out of their way to help you find your way around on buses Walking and train. Bendiciones hermanos. Well done one and all for helping me to enjoy this wondrfull island and its people. Now I want to live here.

On the island of Hispaniola there are no wild monkeys, neither in Haitian territory nor in Dominican territory

Good video 👏🏽👏🏽

Great video. I plan on moving to Dominican Republic within 2 years

I plan on retiring to the Dominican in 5 years

Your tips make it feel doable and exciting. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks dear for sharing your beautiful experiences. Very helpful, informative, interesting. Loved your video.

Exellent Video. Very informative. Thank you and keep 'em coming!

Great stuff, Kat. Thanks much.

wonderful info, kept doing the good work .

This is great content!! I think people would love to hear about Caberete… it’s a neat place!!🎉

Thank you for creating this video and making it available to us!!! The Dominican Republic is very desirable and is on our radar. One road block we have encountered to making the move to the DR is getting health insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions. Do you have any advice for us that would open the doors?

I love the video and the information, what if you're not retiring and you own your own business and want to move?

Planning a n moving there soon!

Dominican Republic (DR) cost of living and lifestyle reminds of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Great islands to live on.

😁Oh yeah you missed a lot, Santiago de los 30 Caballeros, Jarabacoa, Constanza, mountains, one small desert, rivers, forrest gastronomic is a lot bigger so many types of food, fruits, history, Dominican Republic has it all and you have me.😂

Great Info. we are subscribed and will watch many videos. We want to buy a small 2 bdr on the beach. Which is the best company or way to search properties? TIA.

Good information. I intend to move to Central America from Canada in the next few years and dismissed DR because I thought it would be more expensive being an island. I'm very pleased to hear that is not the case! I will do more research.

nice

BEUTIFUL VIDEO is if good to Leaving in Puerto Plata and Cabarete .Because Bavaro and Punta Cana are too Spencer's

GREAT VIDEO i have a question what about health insurance how is over there any insurance company from USA work there or i need to buy my owe and how is the prices and what cover

it's safe to say that Las Terrenas would be a lot more expensive than lets say Cabarete and the budget you estimated would not work there.

There are not wild monkeys or alligators in the DR.

Excellent revue I'm planing to become an ex lima Charlie regarding the higher elevations. The D R.. appears to be be managed and governed responsibly ...unlike the United States

Can you discuss more about the climate and weather in Las Terrenas compared to elsewhere in the country? Is it difficult dealing with humidity on the coast?

Does it have tropical storms? If yes what are the cyclone prone areas?

Which location would be more appealing to older retired folks comparing the Sosua area to Punta Cana?? Also comparing the DR to Costa Rica or Panama?

There arent monkeys in the forest of DR. The aligators are locatated in Lake Enrriquillo, not around the island.

Do you Come Affort like two week in Cabarete Like spend 3 day in punta Cana very affordable

My wife and I want to move to the Dr next year,but I am on scocial security so the rent must be far as I get 1200 per month usd any suggestions n we have two dogs

Why was Punta Cana #4 on the list, and not #1? There is so much buzz about it these days. Subscribed. Is there any beach town with single-family homes for $60K - $90K USD?

I live every year from January to April in Punta Cana and you need at least $3,000 a month to live comfortably . DR is not that affordable as they say , specially if you are used to US lifestyle .

Do you know anything about san Cristóbal somewhere safe to live

I could live there from a 3000.00 pension comfortably?

I am a retired artist. What areas are more bohemian?

The Dominican Republic IS NOT an island nation, it shares it's territory with Haiti to the west. Long story between France and Spain ......in conclusion: 2 different countries.

Well said: but the reality is different. In DR it’s not easy to get a permanent visa. They will lose your passport, your birth certificate. It’s a total chaos. Also, no matter what country you come from you will be issued a one month visa and you have to renew it every month: that’s how they make money. Yes, it’s very nice for short stay but it’s not easy to reside in DR.

I’m just watching you for the first time, I was hoping you would mention whether it would be a viable option for a single older, white female who wants to retire there. Is it very safe? Or questionable?

not sur you portrayed the residency process correctly... getting residency often requires the assistance of local lawyers. the process is a multi-year process required continuous yearly renewals (only done in Santo Domingo). Overall, your lawyer fees can vary between $5k to $11K US. and count from 2 to 3 year to get your first residency card... (It's hell!!!) You need to understand, that in the DR, there is a full industry focused on exploiting "Gringos".. You will get no true help from the State, its employees, or any Legal Professional. You will find pretenders (including other "gringos") that say they want to help you, but in fact they just want to make money off you. My best advice: is to follow the successful path taken by a previous expat, and be prepared to pay way more, and take much more time than you would have ever imagined... On a positive note, you do not need residency to do anything in the DR. As a non-resident, you can own a car, a house, etc... with no real issues. Getting domestic help is always a good idea. In adition to cooking and cleaning, local Dominicans will pay much less for local groceries (like chicken, porc, fish, eggs, fruits and vegs... etc.) Remember. the "gringo" always pays more. (Sorry for the harsh truth. )

What about safety for foreigners?

What would be the difference for post-age 65 retirement in the DR and retirement in Jamaica or Barbados? And how should expats looking for a calm environment within the context of the ongoing migration crisis with Haitians? Does it present anything precarious about older retirees living in that situation? What about the effect of taxes on everything imported including Amazon or anything else (including Las Terrenas)? How would retirement be different than being in Mexico?

I'm not sure she has ever been there...

Hi I'm age 60 Canadian and retired. I'm looking for some contacts at a suitable location close to the beaches and city I could rent, either a 1 bedroom or 2 that is affordable. Thanks.

Hi do you have an imagration attorney that you recommend

how is it living in paris? is it cheap

Dominican wage is not a couple hundred a month. 12k a year is more like it in punta cana..I live here..budget is 2k a month for me..easy living

There are NO alligators in the wild in the Dominican Republic

🇩🇴☀️🌊⚾️💪🇩🇴

There are no monkeys in Dominican Republic lol. There's a couple of monkey zoos but those animals were imported for the tourist attraction.

No.

Great video! I have an apartment in Santo Domingo, and Punta Cana. I love the DR. I plan to move there permanently in a few years. Do you live there currently?

You are very cute and beautifull

There are no monkeys or jungles in the DR, just forests and beaches

They didnt discover shit. Dominicans have been living there forever.

get ready to be robbed...

The Dominican Republic is not an island. Please know your content.

I would not trust this company or anything they say! They have been charging me monthly for something I never signed up for. If I call the customer service number no one ever answers. I have written to customer service at least 6 times and they never ever respond. How can you run a company like that? This is a bad sign. I dont know of any other legitimate company that has no customer service or a non-responsive customer service.They have literally just be stealing money for my account for the last 6 months. I say Stay away!!!

Really nice and informative video , I appreciate all the great recognition you gave to my country. By the way Santiago is a pretty big city with over a million people. They are even building its own train system in Santiago. You should look it up , Santiago DR monorail 🚝 still can’t believe it myself lol
