When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Dominican Rep, they said...

"Learn Spanish - Come with some money to get established. Find a way to make money here. It is not very expensive to live here, but at the same time, you won't make a lot of money either. If you have any questions about moving to Santiago, you can email me at [email protected]," said another expat in Santiago, Dominican Rep.

"I would tell them to first visit, meet people in the Chamber of Commerce to get better acquainted with where to live and how to move around in the city," wrote a member who made the move to Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Rep.
