My spouse (Kim) and I are in the early stages of moving from Ontario to Punta Cana. We are confirmed for a two week holiday in late March at an all inclusive to get familiar with area.
Once we get a good idea of the lay of the land we are going to start the Visa process to gain temporary and then permanent residency. If anyone has any experiences they can share on the retirement residence visa process that would be greatly appreciated.
In our research we also discovered that some folks recommended renting prior to purchasing and if anyone has ideas on rental properties that are dog friendly (all of 8-9 pounds), ideally 2 bed/bath, on or close to beach, shopping, and safe and does not require half the rent up front for a 3 - 6 month stay?
Is a vehicle or some type of motorized transportation required as we have heard the horror stories of driving in the area?
Can anyone recommend someone or a company that can give us a tour while there in March/April?
