Residence permit for the Dominican Republic

Flag Icon

The Dominican Republic is not just a Caribbean resort, but a rapidly growing hub of attraction for investors and expats from around the world, offering a unique blend of tropical comfort, economic growth, and accessible paths to residency. The country is undergoing a transformation, becoming the most dynamic economy in the Caribbean region thanks to booming infrastructure development, a construction boom, and growing tourist flows. The Dominican Republic's competitive advantages are backed by legal certainty: the Foreign Investment Law guarantees full repatriation of capital and dividends, while government tax incentive programs provide investors with exemptions from taxes on profits, rental income, and property transfers for an extended period.

The nature of the Dominican Republic is a true paradise for lovers of tropical beauty: white-sand beaches, palm groves, coral reefs, and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Inland, mountain ranges rise, including the highest peak in the Caribbean — Pico Duarte — while fertile valleys are covered with coffee and cocoa plantations. The climate here is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round, allowing you to enjoy the sun and sea throughout the year. Thanks to its geographical position, the country is protected from destructive hurricanes, and refreshing trade winds make even hot days comfortable. This natural idyll creates perfect conditions for an active lifestyle — surfing, diving, mountain hiking — as well as for peaceful relaxation by the coast.

In addition to business advantages, the Dominican Republic offers a high quality of life at an affordable cost, modern medical clinics, international schools, and a comfortable year-round climate. A residence permit grants the right to live, study, and work in the country without a minimum stay requirement, and a spouse and minor children can be included in the same application. Initially, the residence card is issued for a limited period, then renewed, and after several years of temporary residency, the path opens to permanent residency and, subsequently, citizenship and a Dominican passport, which provides visa-free access to many countries worldwide. The Dominican Republic is becoming a reliable and promising platform for those seeking a second residence, asset protection, and freedom of movement in the Caribbean region.

Tax regime of the Dominican Republic

Income from sources outside the Dominican Republic is completely exempt from tax during the first three years of resident status, and for qualified rentiers and pensioners, this exemption is indefinite under Law 171-07. Tax liabilities in local currency arise exclusively on income sourced from within the country.

The CONFOTUR program provides investors with a 100% exemption from property transfer tax, as well as a 15-year exemption from property tax for qualifying tourism-related real estate.

Additionally, foreign owners of Dominican property are fully exempt from inheritance and gift taxes.

Reviews from satisfied customers

I thank One World Migration for the opportunity to move to Turkey with their help. I looked to relocate my company to be closer to my European partners and suppliers from the Middle East.

I first came to Portugal as a tourist 3 years ago. Having assessed the situation and got acquainted with this country, I decided that I wanted to stay here to live. Thanks to the efforts of One World Migration, this became possible.

The decisive factor for me in my decision to obtain Grenadian citizenship was the possibility of a visa-free visit to Europe, where my husband and I love to come both on business trips and on vacation. Thank you One World Migration!
