Visa and residency in DR

T
#1

I am here in the DR I want to get a visa to stay longer and or set up residency here, can I go to the capitol in Santo Domingo to apply for the visa or does that have to be done back in the U.S. at the consulate in New York?

As stated above and in response to your other post, it starts back where you were from.  And the process can take several weeks!

It doesn’t have to be the consulate in NY, any will do! We got ours at the Embassy in DC. You could apply at the consulate in Miami, which is probably the easiest to fly to from DR.
