Residency Requirements in the DR

Residency Requirements in the DR

Are you eager to embrace the exciting adventure of moving abroad and making the most of your retirement from the luxury of a tropical island? As one of the most trusted spots for retirees, entrepreneurs, and those looking to enhance their lifestyle, the Dominican Republic is an unbeatable place to call home. With a vibrant ex-pat community and beautiful scenery all year round, the DR is an amazing spot to relocate to, and makes residency straightforward for foreign buyers. Learn more below!

Why Choose the DR?

There’s no shortage of reasons to consider the Dominican Republic as your new home, with over 200 days of sun, daily temperatures that average around 28℃/82℉, and plenty of activities to allow you to enjoy tropical living at your own pace. The Dominican also offers world-class healthcare, affordable cost of living, and all of the comforts you’re used to back home, meaning it’s easier than ever to settle down in paradise!

Residency Requirements

When moving abroad, it’s important to be aware of the country’s residency requirements. For the Dominican Republic, visitors are welcome to remain in the country for up to 60 days at a time (extendable to 120 days with a separate application); if you’re planning on staying in the Dominican longer, you’ll need to investigate the current residency requirements, which include:

Residency Visa

Residency visas are obtained from your country of origin and are stamped into your passport. Once received, you will have 6 days to enter the DR and move toward the next step in the process. DO NOT DELAY

Obtain A Provisional Residency

Those wishing to remain in the DR indefinitely must acquire a provisional residency, which permits them to stay in the country for up to 1 year. After the year is over, you may apply for a renewal for up to 4 years in a row. Once you have completed 4 years within the country, you may then proceed with an application for permanent residency (PR) status.

Dominican Republic Real Estate: 3 Factors To Consider

Are you considering buying real estate in the Dominican Republic but unsure where to start? Below are the top 3 factors you should consider before purchasing a property.

1. Location

Have you been dreaming of waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the sand and the breeze brushing across your skin from the comfort of your home? Properties in Casa Linda Quality Communities are 5 minutes away from Sosua and Playa Alicia’s beaches and only 10 minutes away from Cabarete Beach! We also provide our residents with a complimentary shuttle bus that goes to the beach several times a day so that you won’t have to worry about transportation. When buying a property in the Dominican Republic, your dream life can become a reality!

In addition to the beautiful beach view, our villas are also near many amenities like hospitals, food markets, restaurants etc., to make sure that everything you need is only a few minutes away. With almost everything you need being within walking distance, you can easily navigate through the city at any time of day. Whether you’re looking to go out for a late-night dinner or you’re in need of buying a couple of house essentials, you can simply put on your shoes and walk to the location.

2. Community

When moving to a new country, you can’t help but feel like a foreigner as you might take time to get used to the place, navigate around the city and learn the language. Trying to fit in can get quite challenging at first and therefore cause you to start feeling homesick. As a result, homeowners who have made a big move to a foreign country have considered whether their decision to move was the right one or not. Most newcomers try to join a community in an attempt to find people of the same age and share the same interests; however, in a big city and a completely new country, they’re often lost as to where to start looking.

It’s always easier to integrate into a new culture when you surround yourself with a community that shares similar interests and hobbies as you. As a newcomer, nothing will make you feel more at home than living in a community that welcomes you and makes you feel like you’re a part of the family. Buying a property that provides a gated community and offers you a friendly and active community will definitely help make your move smoother. You will have the opportunity to mingle with other newcomers and participate in many exciting activities.

At Casa Linda Quality Communities, we encourage all newcomers to participate in our events to get to know fellow residents. Our community has been home to Americans, Canadians and Europeans for decades, where we have facilitated plans like shopping, fishing, movie nights and tours around the city for all our residents for more than 40 years. You will always feel a part of the family in Casa Linda’s community.

3. Business or Pleasure?

Buying property with Casa Linda Quality Communities can be much more than just a vacation home. If you’re planning to spend a few months in the DR, lock up your home, and leave for the rest of the year, you can rent your property to cover expenses. We offer the option of working with several approved Rental Hosts that manage renting out your villa, including:

  • Marketing your villa on major travel sites like Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, etc.
  • Offering personalized services to the renters
  • Directly supervising staff
  • Addressing problems or issues with renters

You won’t have to worry about managing the renting process from abroad as your Rental Host will be entirely responsible for renting out your villa from start to finish to give you ease of mind while you’re away.

That means while in Cabarete, you can focus on soaking up the sun and getting some well-needed rest and relaxation rather than traversing some other busy, tourist-oriented city. Since Cabarete is located on the northern end of the Dominican Republic, the city is well sheltered from any potential hurricanes. With incredible daily temperatures averaging around 28°C and over 200 days of sunshine, life in Cabarete is like being on vacation every day. If you’re looking for a way to skip shovelling snow, Cabarete in the Dominican Republic is calling your name!
