Posts: 3103I think it is a small risk
I like a nice smoke when I hang out. More girls smoke now and can supply you with product. I have no problem bringing product. When I travel out. I do not bring anything back. In 13 years I was searched once by customs coming back. TSA is looking for bombs not drugs. I have never seen anyone stopped coming in to the DR for a custom search. It is legal in Maryland so I use a vap product good smell and good affect I find when the girls smoke with you the sex is more natural. Some girls really enjoy smoking and become more compliant.

Anyway the best man who can give you better advice on the overall topic would be smoke dog himself Grownman1. Legend has it, he once out smoke Willie Nelson LOL.

Posts: 3851Weed / 420 ?
Has the weed situation gotten any better there? As in are people more laxed about it now or are they still treating it like heroin?
I would love to get back to the DR but I need the weed to make it happen.
Anyone getting through with edibles or similar?

Posts: 1985Is everyone happy now about the information being shared on visas?
I hope so! Can we get back to a discussion of general information for the Dominican Republic now?
My suggestion is that when you come to the Dominican Republic and you are visiting pay cash when making transactions. Contact your bank and determine if ATM withdrawals incur any additional fee when making them internationally. If not, the standard fee you will face at most ATMs located in the Dominican Republic is 300 DOP per withdrawal. As a policy I make withdrawals only from the ATMs that allow me to withdraw 20,000 DOP. That way I maximize the amount I get with each set fee.
Another reason to have cash ready for your purchases at all times is that occasionally the ATM systems do not work and you cannot get cash. Now, I have never experienced this for an extended length of time (I. E. Days) but in the moment you need cash and do not have it any delay is too long.
Goto a large supermarket and make a small purchase to get change. Change is notoriously short when dealing with smaller business entities. Be ready with your "monedas" and "minutos". Learn the going exchange rate. I use a 500 DOP note as an example. If the exchange rate is 50 to 1 a 500 DOP note is 10 USD. But know what the price should be in DOP.
When dining in the restaurant sometimes you will see a line of the bill (cuenta) that says LEY. That is a 10% service charge / tax that is added to the bill and is supposed to goto the servers because tipping is not the custom here. I look at that and add that amount as the additional cash that I leave when I want to reward good service.
Most of the time I do not give anymore than the agreed amount for a paid sexual encounter. Sometimes the girl will request taxi money. I never leave it open ended. I agree to a specific amount. If you want to get an idea of the amount. Ask the girl where she coming from put that into your Uber app to get the price to bring her to you. You can even send the Uber to get her and pay directly to Uber and skip the extra payment to her.

Posts: 1985For Tourist Cards, Visas and those who are pedantic with bad senses of humor
Reference is made to the initial post by Rebel Monger:
He stated visa for 90 days (in reference for entry into Colombia). I had said 45 days. My statement was incorrect and I acknowledged it. I have never been to Colombia. But my google search game is A+. I will let you know how it works exactly when I return from my first trip to Colombia.
To avoid any future confusion please review the screen shot from the State Department of the United States of America website.

Posts: 1985Travel Cards and Visa
To visit the Dominican Republic you can stay for 30 days without a visa. So it should be noted that means that you can stay for less time (for example 15 days). That would be half of the allowed time. After you book your flight you must complete an application in the Electronic Ticket portal. You complete the form and when it is approved you get a QR Code to show to the airline.
Las time when I arrived at immigration I wasn't asked any questions. Just had to put my two thumbs on the glass scanner. Entry stamp given and I was sent on my way. When I reached customs they were sending everyone to the X-ray machine. But they waved me through.
Guess I must look like a boss.
Yes, you need a visa to visit Colombia. It is issued upon arrival and it is good for 90 day and can be renewed (with approval) for another 90 days. So that mean you cannot visit Colombia for any period of time without a visa. When I think of visas, I think of having to apply, fill out forms, go to the Embassy of the country in question. Get approved and then get a visa stamp in my passport before getting on the plane.
I stand corrected.

Posts: 1985Am I sure about the Digital Visa in Colombia?
If you going to step to me about factual information I state in this forum you better bring your google A game before you beat on your keyboard and write a check that your ass can't cash.
You see I go directly to the source and that is the Government of Colombia. You do read Spanish right?

If you can't here are a just a few articles on the subject in English:

Posts: 1985A different opinion
I find that operating in areas the focus on tourism gives you the best access to services you expect or need. As an example, the place I stay in Sosua gives me great internet. Puts me within walking distances of, business services, banks, grocery stores, liquor stores, excellent restaurants, food truck and all my favorite bars. Plus the location itself offers a shared balcony with an excellent view overlooking the pool where I can work in peace while the world walks by and I am not disturbed or distracted. In fact, I can work better in Sosua than I can where I used to live.
I have not found it a problem having girls come and meet me at the location even though it is in the heart of the action in Sosua. 80% of my girls I have met through references, online and not on the street. They come from the campo, pueblos outside of Sosua or Puerta Plata. All some want to do is be escorted from their arrival point to my location. Doing that has never been a problem for me. If you are a PUA getting free pussy like some claim to be doing you should not be bringing unvetted girls back to your place (A mistake I made when I initially moved here. I hope others learn from my error). You should be using a cabana. Search cabana in this forum for an excellent post on the type of facility I am talking about. No girl is going to object to going to a cabana if she wants to have sex with you. Even a non-pro. It is part of the Dominican Culture.
Some may disagree with me. That is ok. I am sharing experienced gained from years of living here (Someone give me 1 USD please) and traveling all over the island. Even though I am looking to move my base to Colombia. I have not given up on spending time in Dominican Republic nor am I going to run down the place like some of my critics that post here.
My two pesos worth.

One bit of advice. If you are looking to date more "regular women", not just hard core hookers, avoid hotels / apartments that are in the heart of known P4P areas. Just be sure the hotel or apartment you select does allow unregistered guests. Verify by email when you book you reservation. Some regular woman will not want to be seen around areas like the strip in Sosua or Gringo Gulch in San Jose, Costa Rica. And out of these areas you will probably save a little on your rent / hotel fees. It will also probably be easier to get some work done during the day.

First thing you need to go is get your passport. Long waits now. And then just pick someplace that has good internet access and jump off. No one here can tell you how to run your life (although there are many that will). Go where you are treated best.
