I really want to live there, can someone who lives there tell me if the place is safe!

Answer 1

Don't believe everything they told you. Just be yourself and you will see that everything will go soft and cool. This country is one of the best!

Answer 2

There is not a whole lot of love between the Haitians and Domenicans.  You can move to the D.R. and get resident alien status if you just deposit $17,000 in ANY bank in the D.R. so it's not hard to get resident alien status.

Answer 3

Well i have to admit yeah i've heard things to, but usually they do those kind of things to the Haitians that have less money then they do.... But i've seen a few Haitians that have money and that dont have problems , i know its rude but its true. I mean i have a friend and their never mean to him or anything, actually everyone loves him cuz hes so funny. Plus depending on were ur moving to here, puerto plata, santiago ,santo domingo are gd places, i live in puerto plata, sosua , but have been all around; but seriously DONT go to montecristi cuz the border is pretty close there, so its not a really gd idea to move there. I have to admit tho its coten so much better here , when i was young i was a lil bad, but i havent heard anything bad in a while , and usually the word spreeds out very fast. The last thing i heardd was that a policeman chased a lil hatian boy around the park and arrested him.

But other then that its pretty safe here, just know how to speak spanish, cuz it would suck if u didnt.  

Hope that helps, hope to see u soon :P
