How Dominican Republic works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Dominican Republic, La Vega leads at 63/100 — cost 50, climate 88, safety 58; warmest-month highs around 26.5°C and coldest-month lows near 22.9°C give you a feel for the seasons. La Vega is the pure-budget play at cost 50/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Dominican Republic before booking anything long-term.
