Many thanks to everybody for all the great help. Some information I read stated that the Engine Capacity must be 2000 cc (i.e. 2.0 L) or less. Can anybody confirm this please? (Toyota RAV4 is 2.4 L)

Official document: Partial exemption of motor vehicle taxes of Dominicans and foreigners who come to reside in the country Sorry, there does not appear to be any way to link to this directly. To find the original go to: https://www.aduanas.gob.do/servicios/importacion/ Then, under 'DEBE...

Yes - this is a very good point thank you. I feel like we will need a car but that is me coming from a USA perspective. Hard to know for sure until we've settled in. I would totally be OK with an older car (e.g. 2010+)

Ah, OK, this is good to know :) Both our current vehicles (with liens) the Registration Date is December 2019. So we are good there. (over 1 yr, could even be 2yr by the time we move) If we bought a RAV4 today, then Registration would be 6/2021 and we would have to wait to 6/2022 to import. OK...

We have a 2018 Kia Soul and a 2017 Mazda3 Wagon. Both owned since December 2019. Both have outstanding liens. We would sell one in US. Then bring the other one to DR (payoff lien first). But I am not clear if '1 year ownership clock' starts when we original got the car (December 2019), or when...

THANK YOU Playacaribe2 !! I was not clear on the 1 year rule - for some reason I thought it might not apply. So my intention was to trade both our existing vehicles in for a RAV4, and then pay the RAV4 off quickly. I was forgetting that we'd need to own the RAV4 1 yr before shipping. We are...

Does anybody know if the vehicle import requirements are documented anywhere on a government website? Many thanks!

1) Before importing a car with the residency exception, do I need to have owned it for 1 year, or 2. 2) Is there a TAX DIFFERENCE between: a) Bringing car as part of a residency shipment (e.g. me) b) Bringing car as returning Dominican National (e.g. my wife) 3) Can we both bring...

Playacaribe2 - MANY thanks for all the great information.

I am considering my options for bringing a vehicle from the US as part of a residency shipment. Sorry, but to clarify my understanding, I have 2 hypothetical questions please: 1) If I walk into a dealership in Miami today (6/8/2021) and pay CASH for a car, would I have to wait until 6/8/2022...

Hi everybody. Technically speaking I am not a New Member; I have been a member for over 10 years but for most of that time I have been inactive. However my wife (DOM) and I are very seriously looking to retire in the DR very soon, so I feel like this is a good opportunity to re-introduce...

Please can anybody recommend a good tattoo artist in Santo Domingo? I will be visiting the city soon with my family and my 16 year old son would like a small tattoo on his back as a tribute to his Mom who passed away 2 years ago. Normally I'd so no to a tattoo for my son - but in this case I...

I'm meeting with a group of friends and family in mid October 2009 in the Santo Domingo / Boca Chica / Juan Dolio area. Ideally we'd like to rent a beach house. I found this place (owned by the folks who own the Dona Elvira hotel in Santo Domingo) - but it is waaaay the other side of the island...
