Iwould like to know if the requirements as to the assets owned in the country by a foreigner and the minimum duration of staying in the DR until application for a residence visa may be filed with the foreign ministry are still the same under the PRD administration as the ones applied under the PLD administration. In other words: Until August 2000 a foreigner to be able to sucessfully apply for a residence visa was required to prove that he had entered into the country at least one year before the date of his application and that he owned assets of minimum 500'000 RD Pesos in the country. Does the PRD administration among others require the same conditions to obtain a residence visa or has anything changed ?
