When I say confusing I simply mean that I have not received any warning. One would assume this to be a minimum on leaving the country so you know where you stand on your following trip especially as there seems to be a tightening up of procedures. As I said I've been coming to DR for 5 years, always overstayed a little and just paid the fine on leaving.
Or perhaps I am being too simplistic!
