The Dominican Republic allows foreign investors to pursue residency through investment in real estate, including projects developed by Samana Group.
For people considering a longer-term move to the country, the original article provided a practical overview of the application process and the documentation required.
Eligibility and Required Documents
Applicants should prepare the documentation required by Dominican migration authorities, including:
a certified copy of the passport,
birth and marriage certificates, where applicable,
a police clearance certificate,
proof of health insurance,
a medical certificate,
passport photographs,
an affidavit confirming support for dependents.
Step-by-Step Application Process
1. Online Registration
The process begins on the portal of the Dominican Republic’s General Office of Migration.
After creating an account, applicants select the relevant service through the following path:
APPLICATION LIST → AVAILABLE SERVICES → LOCATION OFFICE → LIST OF SERVICES
The Applicant Questionnaire must then be completed with the required information.
2. Document Submission
The required documentation is uploaded in JPG format.
3. Medical Examination
Applicants must undergo the required medical examination within three days of paying the application fee.
The original article states that the medical results are then available after approximately ten days.
4. Legal Requirements
Documents submitted as part of the process must meet the applicable formal requirements, including notarization, legalization, and apostille where required.
Maintaining and Renewing Residency
The original material identifies several requirements relevant to maintaining residency status:
confirmation that the investment in the Dominican Republic remains in place,
continued compliance with the applicable minimum economic requirements,
confirmation that personal information and documentation remain current.
For investors using Samana Group real estate as part of their residency strategy, the company’s legal team was available to provide support throughout the process.
