**** Update *** So... Since my initial post many things have transpired in regard's to this project. The single most important one has been they have failed to START! So with that being said may people that have paid their hard earned cash on this project are attempting to get their money back...

Thanks I guess a trip is in order... I should update my real estate thread with the final outcome.

I was wondering if anyone has opened a Citibank N.A account in DR and if you can access the money from the US since that is the only US bank that has a branch in the DR. https://www.citibank.com/icg/sa/latam/dominican-republic/

Thanks, @ Thanks, for your advice but finding someone to trust with enough money to change there life seems to be another issue in the making jajaja. I think I'm gonna have to plan for a trip.

The big issue I’m having is I’m here in the states so I’m trying to initiate a wire transfer requires me to sign paperwork in the DR. So the other caveat is I’m not sure if they require extra information and if so how long of a trip do I need to take to the DR to make sure the process goes smoothly.

The money was in my personal account in Dominican Republic. It didn’t make it far enough to have a lawyer involved

Hi, Has anyone had to send money from DR to the US when stateside. Also, what is the max sum that can be sent? I know more than 10k might trigger a flag cause some issues that one might have to complete some additional paperwork. I'm looking to remove some funds from a failed real estate deal...

It took me two trips to DR and around 45 days to complete the opening of my account. I had to show 3 years of income, W2, bank statements ...etc

That's not Drew - Wrong gent my friends

I checked with them and they don't, It's up to the buyer.

That's a fair price to pay. Do you have any suggestion besides Guzman in Punta Cana?

Did you use an attorney to handle the transaction? My biggest issue is making sure the title is clean and no liens are on it. Lion

Hi, All So, I read some of the past conversations about the difficultly in getting a mortgage in the Dominican Republic. I can only imagine since the process for me to get a bank account as a non-resident was painful at least from a state side perspective. So, Why get a mortgage since as many...

Yep, A bank reference letter signed with last 3 months statements. Although, A full month had past when I started the process they had me e-mail the most recent last 3 months of bank statements.

Just got mine at banco bhd. It took about a month. They have you come in and get verified than you need to wait until that is completed. The next step is to have all your documents lined up. It took about 2hours. Also I did mine in the capital.

So with the new requirements from the CDC. Does anyone have a list of places that offer Rapid COVID Testing in the major areas of DR? Updated Rules Flights to USA from outside the country CDC Order

Thanks for the advice. I'm definitely taking heed. My lesson learned is get the contract up-front, expect it to be bad than just walk away. I think for most people property ownership is overrated just rent seems to me the sentiment. I have family ties here so if this doesn't work I think I'll...

No, I've done some additional checking and the company is registered appropriately and money is being held in a fiduciaro so I'm thinking of taking one for the team.

Have you heard of any stories of someone who has successfully navigated something like this? I'd hate to only use prayer power.

Do you have any recommendation on an Atty that speaks English in Santo Domingo or Punta Cana? I tried Guzman and I had one chat with someone sent over some information and heard nothing back.
