Street goods - reliable places to recommend by Atavi
I am an adventurous person and like to discover the country bit by bit.What are the reliable and safe places/local restaurants to enjoy street foods across the country you have experienced and could recommend without paying the "tourist price"?
We should create a directory of good and cheap restaurants with real Dominican food that doesn't make you sick! 馃槅 Organized by city or region. I won't be there until December but I'll definitely be looking for safe places to eat that are ... Read More

Good ideas. Anyone know of a good mail forwarding company that delivers to Sosua or thereabouts? I guess that would help me order on Amazon, etc as well. I can do the research, but just in case someone knows, thanks! Read More

These are great options, thanks so much! I'll run the idea of the Miami mailing address by my financial advisor, see if it will work. Fidelity also has an international company, separate from regular Fidelity, so I could compare it to the Schwab ... Read More

I appreciate this conversation. I just had my first consultation with immigration lawyer Lishali Baez yesterday. She suggested I apply via the pensioners residency, so now I understand these six months of deposits that you're talking about. I will ... Read More

Retirement Visas by Pat Kitchen
My wife and I are in the process of obtaining retirement visas for the DR.聽 We have been in contact with a couple of Dominican law firms.聽 We are a bit taken aback with the fees they are charging.聽 Also, we know there are going to be ...
