I lived in the DR in the 90's and had residence back then. I married a Dominican girl and we moved to Canada in 2001. My wife is now a Canadian (dual Can. and DR.) We have a house in the DR and would perhaps like to retire there. However I would like the option of being able to work, or be able to take part in the legal processes.
Do I have to go through the whole residency process, or does being married to a Dominican or previously having residency fast track the process.

This should be posted in the Legal section to get input from Fabio Guzman, the lawyer who answers questions in there,

It is now, originally it was in the Visa section. The moderator moved it.

The Ministry of Interior is requiring, under a mistaken interpretation of the law, that the husband go through the entire residency process. I just published an article on the unconstitutionality of this practice in Gaceta Judicial, the local law journal.

As it is a mistaken interpretation of the law do you see it being changed soon (as within the next year or so)?
