Hi. I have read all the information on this board re: citizenship, but there is something missing.
According to the following laws, a person can apply for CITIZENSHIP after resided in DR for 6 months if he/she forms a business or buys property also. This particular law mentions NOTHING about "after having obtained legal domicile (permanent residence card). So, why do you all say Provisional (12 mo) + Permanent + 6 mo = citizenship?
Law 1683 dated 1948 and its modifications establishes that a person is eligible to obtain Dominican nationality after:
Having resided in the country for at least six months after having obtained legal domicile (permanent residence card).
Having resided continually in the country for at least two years.
------>Having resided continually in the country for at least six months and having formed a business or purchased real estate.
Having served in the Dominican Armed Forces.
Have obtained a special concession from the President which may be granted for having served the DR with merit.
