I have sent my Residence Visa application with all required information on the DR Embassy in DC's web site (Embassy of the Dominican Republic, in the United States) and have just been told I am required to provide an additional document from the following list:
1. Family ties (family reunification through marriage / direct dependence).
2. Investors, Pensioners or Retirees according to Law 171-07.
3. Comply with an indefinite employment contract in public or private institutions
I was told that the notarized letter of guarantee from my Dominican Attorney would be enough but apparently I am required to file as an investor or have an indefinite employment contract in addition to the aforementioned required information on the website.
I do have a Dominican SRL incorporated and filed but we must receive our residencies before we can move forward with our bank loans to purchase property.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Would it be easier to file my business with the Center for Export and Investment of the Dominican Republic or Ministry of Tourism and receive a certification as a Direct Investor or a Tourism Development Project, or attempt to obtain an indefinite employment contract?
Thank you for your time and consideration!
