Hi, It seems that since December 2017 more than 3,000 people of 12 different nationalities were not allowed to enter the country and were deported to theirs. I mean led by custom officers to the area where they had to wait for a return flight. The reason is that the people who used to overstay ( paying the fine ) are now considered illegal recidivists. For years overstaying has been tolerated. This seems to be over. Does anyone have more information on this ? So when in doubt take care : - If you arrive with a tourist card you are allowed to stay for 30 days. Do not overstay anymore or it will be filed. - If you want to stay for 60 days max, you have to ask for a visa at the Dominican consulate in your country. - If you want to work, study, stay as retiree, stay as an investor, stay as a persons of means ( that is to say stay more than 60 days ) you must ask for the corresponding visa at the Dominican consulate in your country. Once in the DR start the process of getting the residency.

Despite being told it was because they overstayed too long before, I suggested it might have been because they have too many tattoos.
