I'm a Canadian who met a swiss on holidays in Dom Rep in the discotheque!
I knew him for all of 7 weeks before I took the plunge and just moved here and married him.
The work is going to be the hardest obstacle, I never even *really* looked into how difficult it would be. I've had to take cleaning jobs under the table to help out and give me something productive to do with my idle hands

I also don't speak numerous languages as yourself.
The 3 month tourist VISA sounds like it may be your best option.
for me it wasn't. I wanted to be with this guy no matter what, and the thought of leaving him after 3 months was not an option we were both happy with, so we just went for it.
I've never looked back (it'll be 2 years this Dec we were married, so we're still fresh lol) again though, that ain't for everyone.
Do ALOT of research on this country, I had stars (hearts) in my eyes and the 1st yr was quite diffcult in many ways.
good luck though! hopefully love wins in the end
