Temporary Resdidencia - first steps! by planner
As a regular person, not applying for work visa or a retirement special status recidencia, you can apply for the temporary residencia. The principal difference is that you will require a local sponsor to vouch for you and your family when applying ...
At immigration we will go with an assigned paralegal, but we don't know yet if he/she will also go with us to the JCE office somewhere in Santo Domingo. Maybe worth mentioning, our location is on the north coast, just between Sosua and Cabarete. Read More

Hi Planner, Would be fun to know, based on the above :) How much would 90 days be on the Dominican Republic timeline ? We are still waiting for the response from immigration for our first temporary residency (RT-9) application. We are now in 8 ... Read More

Just wanted to apologize to 01234turj. He is right when he's saying one must have a history of 5 years back on receiving income in order to qualify as rentistas (as stated in article 64 of Reglamento 631-11). Again 01234turj, my apologies. Read More
