ESTA/WVP - leaving US within 90 days, then staying in DR

ESTA/WVP - leaving US within 90 days, then staying in DR - Two Man Sitting on Pink Flower Field

My situation is as following:

I plan to visit NY for 2 weeks (with a valid refundable ticket back to germany as an "onward" ticket), then fly to the Dominican Republic (DR) for 2 weeks, return once more to NY for 1 week and afterwards leace the US for 3 months to DR (from where I then plan to fly to germany).

My flight back from DR to Germany would surpass the 90 day ESTA-limit. However, I do not plan on reentering the US after going to DR for 3 months, but flying to Germany (where I`m from).

As I couldn't find information online I'm asking myself: Will there be any problem trying to reenter the US at some point in the future if I leave the DR after the 90 day limit? (the way I understood ESTA it shouldn't, only reentering the US should be a problem as the days in the DR are counted within the 90day mark).

Thanks in advance

How long do you have to leave the US before returning on an ESTA?

Therefore, the length of time of your total stay, including the short trip, must be 90 days or less.

Can I stay more than 90 days with ESTA?

The ESTA lasts for up to two years after it is granted. During this period, travellers (EU and UK citizens) are allowed to make an unlimited number of trips to the USA. Each stay can last a maximum of 90 days. However, the validity of the ESTA can, in certain cases, expire earlier.

What happens if you stay in USA over 90 days?

If you change your plans during your trip and plan on staying for more than 90 days, you cannot obtain the needed Visa while in the USA. You will have to return home and only then can you apply for the Visa and travel back to the USA.
