I am planning to spend 6 months in the DR starting 11/1/14. I have secured an apartment in Sousa (Trade Winds). I have vacationed in Puerto Plata many times but never longer than 30 days. My question is do I need to apply for a Visa? I would prefer not. Also will I be taxed on personal items that I may bring or have shipped and what is the best and cheapest way to ship? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
