Funny that last video i watch about this topic i wanted to consider living in DR lol and today am watching this one and am couple days to actually trying it out 🙏🏼🥂 Excited for what’s in store on this new journey
My Military retirement in a few years gonna be around $5,000 a month. I bought some land for $14,000 by Punta Cana and building me a nice little house for 60k with a pool/ Jacuzzi. So this money will go a long way for me. I do have my dual citizenship so so I can buy my gun and other items. US brands arent the best too many chemicals, I buy the local stuff less ingredients. Yes there is a lot more accidents there and the cops really need to start cracking down fr.
@kevinmarshall3198 its good to know about the VA hospitals there that awesome and I already bough some land and building a house with a pool for 60k, I think not paying rent will help save me a lot.
@@deedtrawilliams5389 word of mouth saw the title went to the local office made sure the title was active, got a surveyor to survey the land. Went to the office and sign the title over to me and the cash was handed over after. A lot of lawyers there over charge and scam you and do nothing. If they really want to sell it and if its truly there they will take the day off and meet you at all locations to verify and transfer the land over to you

@@TommyBryson Hey brother, great video! Quick question, what's DR protocol for Covid vaccines? Are they strict about checking them before getting permanent residence?
Bro, for shipping forwarding, you should use Blumbox, which charges about 185-190 pesos per pound. And in my opinion, food is way more expensive in the USA than here. For 6,000 pesos, I can feed three people. For the same cost in the USA, that only feeds myself. Plus, I have to cook more here because I get tired of Dominican food all the time. And Dominicans are not adept at cooking ethnic cuisine. So I cook things like Thai food, pasta, Chinese and Indian on my own. I trust my cooking, not theirs. Plus, I hate to be disappointed when I eat out.
Love your finance content but when you speak on DR and PR I'm glued because I'm planning to geoarbitrage myself. Can't do the hustle culture for 30+ years like my parents did. Gotta finesse the system (legally of course lol). Thanks for the consistently great content!
Bro thats super high whatever market your going to is really price. I just left there like 2 weeks ago. went to the grocery store while i was there & all of fruits were much much cheaper than the U.S. Sousop there is only $54.dop thats right around $1.00 U.S. mean while in the U.S. that same Soursop sells around $9.00 to $12.00 per pound. & some those fruits are almost 2 pound & up in weight. All of the fruits i bought there were cheap as hell & worth every penny. Im going back next month. Not sure if its maybe bc of the area you live in or what. I was in Puerto Plata & Sosua. When i comeback Im going to Santo Dominigo & Santiago. Anyway love the channel bro. Keep the content coming. Peace
Loving all the Dominican Republic information Tommy! I plan to move there in 6-8yrs when I retire. Any information you can give is appreciated like how’s the job market for people coming from the US, some of the safer areas to reside/ investment property opportunities etc. Thanks in advance 💪🏾
Is pretty hard to get a job, but if you are bilingual you can't try,, Call center or hospitality, on any the resort. Or work Oline from home. But I don't recommend that someone go if had to look for job.
Where you live in DR. That people are starving, there is poor people but no so bad a that level, especially now that there a lot assistant to poor people. There is people from all over in DR. A lot, and many of then from other countries with worse economic than DR, and they are making a living in there , I'm living for 30 years in usa, when I go there I see everything better and better.
It's interesting you mentioned the motorcyclist there. I visited DR for a week and within that time span, I encountered some traffic one day because a man had been hit on his motorcycle. He flipped off and was laying dead in the road. 😖
Peace Bruh,Apreciate all u do. Been watching an listening to u for awhile.1st time comment. Take care will stay intouch. U very knowledgable an Taught yourself alot... U Truly blessed an seem to have a good heart.💯✌
Hi friend - what part of the DR is this? I'm going to Las Terrenas in December for some months. Would be great if you could point me to some long stays - AirBNB wants more than $1200 for what you have for $160.
Your video is really informative, I’m planning on giving going for 1 year. But can’t find work from home jobs. That will allow me to be over sea. Any suggestions?
🎉🎉🎉 BIGGUP on the 1yr back .. for me it hit I think a bit over the 3rd yr as of October 21st .. because I slow traveled to Colombia for 6mnths and Brazil for almost 3 months since never strong a foot in the USA since oct 2020... Definitely seen a few white sheets covering motos in my yrs here with the driving.. and yup r danger thing at night is definitely your area.. I lived in a nice area in Puerto Plata in the past.. Then a country area in Maimón .. Still Puerto Plata.. then I'm in the south western part of Santo Domingo below Piantini and I can walk at night without feeling any stand way more that normal in the united states'... And I grew up in east new York Brooklyn Rockaway ave C train n Utica area and parts of ft.lauderdale .. if I child walk those areas at night watching my back I actually have been watching my back less over here in DR.. except for 1 area I had a Airbnb for 1 month in SD este
Thanks for the knowledge you dropping here. I am interested in learning more about living in DR, including what does it take for US citizen to move and legally live there ?
Boss, how is the Health Care out there. Right now I'm paying $700 per month soon to be $880 per month for health insurance just for me at work, and you living on $1K per month. You got it made.😊
I bought Larimar insurance by SENASA. I pay $384 per year!!!! I bought insurance for my wife in the US for when we spend summers and that costs me $566 per mo!!! US citizens are getting robbed!
Loved this video, im setting myself up to live there eventually...but want to make a career working remotely in DR...your costs are low, Im going to assume your are not in amy major city(Santiago or santo Domingo) cause really good internet costs 5000(DOP) monthly. Just for 300mbps and 15mbps upload
Tommy, I live in the USA, and I’m looking at houses in Romania (where my family is from) and they are dirt cheap. Like 4 bedrooms for under 80k cheap. Some houses for 50k USD too. Seriously considering moving there. Do you think changing countries to get more affordable housing is wise?
go visit the locations for a trip / holiday to see things in person first. I've done this before moving and it's a great way to get a mini snapshot....especially if you're moving to another country. Good luck!
Do a vid with peter Schiff. He lives in PR just like u used to. Maybe talk about the differences btwn PR n DR. Peter is a class act and knows economics so damn well.
Hey nice video. I was actually thinking about moving over here, but I'm not seeing the areas where I can apply for work in healthcare and for rent prices, average salaries etc. Would you be able to give some insight on these?
I would recommend, getting a remote job. Making even 2k a month may be enough to live here very comfortably. But I would recommend saving up a good amount of money first.
I’m coming in about 3 weeks to find a place to rent.. what areas do you recommend that are similar price? I need good internet and I like nightlife .. would really appreciate your help.
The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. It's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation,it is always the poor who take the hit.
As a dominican i can live in santo domingo with less than 2000k a month, people get crazy cause the want to live like they Rich, they want to go to punta Cana and spend 2k, that will not happen, punta Cana is a 10k live style per month so if anyone wants to move to the Dominican Republic pick your city wisely, every city has the bubble, their safe spot so don't get crazy about crime cause there's crime everywhere in the world
Klok I live in Punta cana and it's definitely NOT $10K/mo. to live here. Every home is not a 5bd/5ba villa. Don't include your hooker bill in the equation my g 😉
@jahmesiahkeys9597 3bd/2ba apartment w/ utilities and internet: $1000/mo.; Car/ins: $500/mo.; Food: $300/mo.; Miscellaneous Items: $200-$700/mo. Total: $2000-$2500/mo. and you can live comfortably
Fuel is much higher I was like wtf I went to the grocery store It’s like spending here Traffic is very unorganized Motorcycles avg blk smoke was everywhere. It’s not cheap as you think
Punta cana you are going to spend the same amount as in states or canada restaurant bills will be the same as home ect its very expensive you have to live in the small villages
Hi bro my name is wasu iam live in Ethiopia and graduated from university by Automotive engineering and 9 years working experience by mechanic position so i need came and visit Dominican
I am thinking about moving somewhere when I retire. I am in the US. Cost in important but not the top issue. However, this place sounds about as bad if not worse. Sorry no offense.
Hey. Canadian here. I visited the DR and i loved the culture and definitely weather. What are the opportunities for someone working in the IT field with mixed experience in hospitality as well? I believe it can be a great place to live in. What do you think?

How about working there as a foreigner? what are the pros and cons ?
Depends on the Job you do, you should expect a pay cut though usually
Try doing Ubers for a month and compare it to your gas expenses for a car
Fuel is much higher
I was like wtf
I went to the grocery store
It’s like spending here
Traffic is very unorganized
Motorcycles avg blk smoke was everywhere. It’s not cheap as you think

What is the best place to move for a month just to get a good feel of the country? Will not have a car
Is electricity supply constant in the Dominican Republic?
What city are you in? When i was in punta cana i would spend like $100 at jumbo. Uber there and back $40. Rent $1700 ect ect.
Lol that's like living in the US
Punta cana you are going to spend the same amount as in states or canada restaurant bills will be the same as home ect its very expensive you have to live in the small villages
Simple math : currency exchange rates on the country you in. Example For every 1 dollars exchange for Thai baht you get like 20 baht.

Seems rushed bro. But you'll find opportunites in the capital, being paid in usd might be tricker
living in DR getting paid dollars is the best .

Do they have public transportation or school for children?
Yes
where do you live? san pedro?
What about jobs ?
Is it hard to get a good paying job ?
Harder… not impossible. You have to be prepared for employment to get a job. But minimum wage jobs, don’t pay well
I am thinking about moving somewhere when I retire. I am in the US. Cost in important but not the top issue. However, this place sounds about as bad if not worse. Sorry no offense.

Did he say $160 a month in rent for a two bedroom space?! How ?!
Yes but those places are in the hood within the locals with no real protection so if you don't speak Spanish don't bother
There's people in the US starving as well... come on man look at cities like oakland ... poeple living in tans and crime rate very high
Why did you move ?
