From http://dr1.com/legal/migration/citizenship.shtml
Law 1683 dated 1948 and its modifications establishes that a person is eligible to obtain Dominican nationality after:
1) Having resided in the country for at least six months after having obtained legal domicile (permanent residence card).
2) Having resided continually in the country for at least two years.
...etc.
In the second point, "after having obtained legal domicile" is not specifically mentioned. Does this mean that a person is automatically entitled to citizenship once they have resided (stayed) in the country for two years, even if they did not obtain legal domicile in the form of a permanent residence card? Can anyone clarify this for me?
