Oct 25, 2023 | Expat Life, News, Working in Dominican Republic

If you’re looking for a sign to move to the Dominican Republic (DR) and work remotely, here it is. The beautiful Dominican Republic beaches are so close to our Cabarete villas! Need a little more convincing? We have five fantastic reasons listed below! Read on to learn more about the five reasons Casa Linda thinks you should move to the DR.

You Enjoy Sandy Beaches and Summer Days

The Dominican Republic can be your own special paradise from which to work every day. We have a steady 28 degrees almost year-round, meaning no harsh winters in need of thick jackets. Our gated community is less than 10 minutes from the closest beach, or you are more than free to use your own private pool in your backyard! Experience summer on repeat, without the fear of hurricanes, when you live in the DR with Casa Linda.

You Are Ready to Invest Responsibly

Cabarete villas are your way to make your eternal vacation a financially sound investment. Instead of throwing away your money on rent in Canada and the US, why not invest that into your very own villa? Dominican Republic real estate has been increasing in popularity over the past decade: Now’s your chance to take some land before the market is oversaturated. Earn interest on your villa while spending less on daily living expenses.

The Cost of Living Here is Lower

Want your remote income to go further? The cost of living in Cabarete villas is lower than living in the Western world. You can get more out of your dollar here in the Dominican Republic than in Canada or the US. Lunch for two at a restaurant for only $15 USD? Yes, please! Or, take your $15 and buy yourself a coffee every day for a week. All while living in your own villa, starting at only $229K USD.

You Want to Make Expat Friends

Our gated community of Cabarete villa owners is filled with like-minded people looking to make expat friends. Eat dinner on a themed night with your neighbors, or have them over for a barbecue! There are so many things that you can do with the owners of Casa Linda villas. You’ll meet friendly new people in the community or locals even walking around. We love making new friends in the DR!

Adventurous Days and Exciting Nights

No matter the season, Casa Linda allows opportunities for owners of Cabarete villas to meet and mingle. Summer barbecues, autumn Jazz Festivals, holiday specials, and more will keep you busy amongst all of the local activities we have to offer! Themed restaurant nights and town events will add to this list, making sure you are never bored. That said, we like to relax and take things slow in the Dominican Republic. So don’t worry about attending it all!

FAQ About Life in the Dominican Republic

FAQ About Life in the Dominican Republic

Jul 11, 2022 | Expat Life, News, Working in Dominican Republic

Are you tired of shovelling snow every winter? Have you been considering moving somewhere warm and tropical? If so, then now is the time to consider a new life in the Dominican Republic with Casa Linda! The Dominican Republic is an island paradise well known for being welcoming and friendly to foreigners. However, before packing your bags to move to the DR, Casa Linda is sure you have a few questions about life on the island. Below we will answer some commonly asked questions about the Dominican Republic. Keep reading to learn more!

What’s the Weather Like?

Typical weather in the Dominican Republic is tropical all year-round, with slight seasonal variations. The cooler season runs from November to April and tends to be relatively low humidity and precipitation. During the cool season, the temperature averages around 23ºC (76ºF). Meanwhile, the warmer season is from May to October and has an average temperature of 31ºC (87ºF).

Many islands in the tropics have to deal with hurricanes. However, fortunately, Casa Linda communities are located on the northern tip of the Dominican Republic, which is sheltered from hurricanes. So when you live with Casa Linda in the DR, you’ll only have to worry about making sure you have enough sunscreen on!

How’s the Work/ Life Balance?

Local Dominicans value a balance between work and relaxation. After a long day at work, many locals will enjoy a pleasant and relaxing afternoon on the beach. Many shops, especially those in tourist-heavy zones, will close at noon for lunch and reopen in the late afternoon. Most shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays. Sundays are the perfect day to soak up in the sun on the beach or spend time with family and friends. Bars and convenience stores are typically open until midnight during the week. On Fridays and Saturdays, they remain open until 2 am.

For most expatriates, living in the Dominican Republic is about slowing down and enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle. Casa Linda’s gated communities encourage you to take advantage of island living and focus on what matters most to you. Our communities offer residents the opportunity to make new connections, practice a new or old hobby, and enjoy the stunning local beaches.

How Long Can I Stay Without Permanent Residency?

If you do not have a residency permit, you can stay in the Dominican Republic for up to 30-days per visit. However, if you’d like to extend your stay, you may do so for up to 120-days. Extending your trip is simple; you need to apply online and pay a small fee. 

What’s the Residency Process Like?

To apply for permanent residency in the Dominican Republic, you’ll have to begin the process in your home country and then complete it in the DR. There are a few essential documents you’ll need to complete your application. Paperwork like your proof of income, health, criminal record check, and birth certificate, to name a few. Casa Linda is happy to provide prospective residents with a referral to a local law firm specializing in residency.
