Expat Life in Santo Domingo
Moving to Santo Domingo is something that needs to be planned accordingly. Learning Spanish is well-advised because even with a large American expat community, English is not a primary language spoken, and it can be difficult to get around or communicate with people if you don’t speak or understand Spanish.
- Residency: You will need a business visa to go to Santo Domingo, and if you plan to stay longer than two months, you need to apply for a residence visa. Initially, you will be able to gain temporary residency that will be good for twelve months, and after that you may be able to apply for permanent residency. The Dominican Republic typically makes it simple for expats to apply for residency.
- Housing- Working with a local realtor is great to find housing in Santo Domingo. There are also Facebook groups where expats can meet up to find room mates. Another option is to spend time traveling through the city to find suitable housing. Many expats find housing by speaking directly to local landlords to rent a home for a lower rental price than a realtor may have available. Expats are also able to purchase a home in Santo Domingo.
- Getting Around- There are many ways to travel throughout Santo Domingo. Public transit includes the subway, taxis, Uber, and Cabify. There are also bus lines for local and long-distance travel. Many expats enjoy the freedom of having a personal vehicle to drive in Santo Domingo. Vehicles can be imported by hiring a professional auto transport company to bring the car from the United States. Costs for importing a car can range anywhere from $1500 to $4000.
