Dear DR1 Legal Advisor-
What i am gathering from the board is that if i want to start a business in the DR like a photo studio or a computer business- i simply show up and begin work; there are no permits like there are here in the USA.
I understand i will have to have a residency permit and i imagine a curtesy call on the local Police Captain would be a good idea.
But that otherwise it is a pretty open society for business. If you have a good idea and are willing to work it more power to you.
To those of us from a permit and license happy society this is hard to grasp.
Am i missing something i should know before i fly off and try to invest in a local business??
Thanks for your advice.
