There is always confusion about the overstay fines or fees.
If you are visiting the Dominican Republic and you over stay here are the Penalties or Fees. You will pay them when you are leaving the Dominican Republic. IF you overstay 1 day, then the fee is calculated from the DAY YOU LAND not the day you overstay.

These are CURRENT until we close this thread!
Yes the fees have gone up. To some they are expensive. Oh well, if you can afford to visit and overstay you can afford the "fee".
The government is cracking down on overstaying, what they will do about it and when they will do something is anyone's guess!
