Move to DR and work my Internet Business

It's certainly possible, and also very possible to get a good internet connection. Those are likely the least of your worries. I'm sure others will go further in depth, however, residencia process needs to be started back in Canada, after your marriage (if thats the route you want to go).

But I think the more pressing issue is that you should reconsider thinking about marriage so soon when you have not even met this woman. Simply "moving in with your woman and marrying her" - while it may seem like a great idea - please think carefully about your future.

There are many stories here on this forum, you can read them yourself and come to your own conclusions. But realistically, time is the only thing that will teach you what you need to know about a person. Be careful who you tie yourself to. Not trying to be negative - I would just hate for you to get taken for a ride.

Welcome to the forums.

Residencia should be started at home in anticipation of your move, you don't need to wait until you are married.

Have you actually met this woman? How much do you know about her? Would you be planning to marry a Canadian woman you had not yet met?

On that front -take it slow. She isn't going anywhere.

Move here, open you business, get to know her, get to know the country etc.

Business you may or may not need to open  business here. You may want to though!!!! There is a lot at stake.

Where you live depends on your needs Santiago and the north coast are very different.

Tell us more about your chosen life style?

I could use some advice and maybe you have some input?? I would really appreciate it!
I have a successful internet business selling promotional products all over the world & I have done this for 40 years. I have my own people in China and very reliable people working for me. My manager have been with me since start in China 20+ years ago. I have also owned a glass factory in Romania at one point. So in other words I have crystal products and design work in my blood.  ***

I have some really great friends & they just landed 16 beautiful acres in western Dominican R. & I have something speaking into my ear [maybe GOD] to get involved in their missions on this great land with a hospital and many building that can host over 50 people. I would seriously consider spending time there & not only help my friends, but also help The People there to gain a better life. I really do not find any interest in gaining anymore for myself, but I find more pleasure in giving to others.

So....there you have a little back ground:

Does anybody have any knowledge in moving a company from USA to Dominican? Is there tax advantages? I am really sick and tired in all political fighting in Washington & I feel maybe I could have an opportunity to make a change. I do have kids and grandkids in Florida, but I feel I could visit them every month if I had to.

How about health Insurance?

Maybe I leave it at this and see if anybody could give me advice.

Hi Peter.  You dont "move" the company. Open a new company with same or similar name and do business here.  AND   how you structure  the change from there to here is up to you and your tax advisors. I can certainly help you with structure here.

Health insurance is fairly inexpensive but you need to purchase before age 65. 

Welcome to the forums!

I have found the internet service to be good in the Sosua area.  My concern is with the frequent power outages and how you handle to these while working.  Would love to hear advice an experiences from others.

Thinking that I would need to be hard wired into internet (not WiFi), battery on computer should help until power back up....

The work that I do is tied to the phones and need to be available every minute without interruptions during business hours.  Wondering if that is feasible?
