Taking from a post by Anna C - who wrote the Dominican Consulate in Ottawa about exit visas

we now have the following information


"Note one can only apply for residency if he/she falls under one of the following categories: the child of a Dominican citizen/legal resident, married to a Dominican citizen/legal resident, under work contract of indefinite duration, as property owner in the country, as investor with business already established in the country, enrolled in an academic institution, retired in Canada and would like to continue retirement there, rentier and lives off rental income or missionary and plan to work with a institution in the country. The residency process starts in Canada by first applying for Residency Visa (valid for 2 months and 1 entry) and within the first 30 days of its validity you must submit your Provisional Residency Application in Santo Domingo. Please find attached the requirements to apply for the Dominican Republic Residency Visa."


The only issues are How much the property needs to be valued at - (200k?) and how much for rentier/retirement income ($1500)

thought this would be on interest to newbies --

One small correction, it was the Dominican consulate in Toronto. If anyone wants to see the attachment they sent I'll figure out how to post it.

Ottawa has not replied as of yet

$1500 plus $250 for each dependant. I think you'll find the numbers for Mexico, Costa Rico, Panama....etc very similar.

Looks like we will just have to bounce 1500 back and fourth between bank accounts. What happens if you are not of retirement age and you want to become a resident? Why is it getting harder for a American to get into the DR then others to get into the usa?

Just income Ship Shape....
you don't need to be retired just need to be earning $1500/month = $18,000/year

That's how I read it.

Keep flipping those flapjacks !!
