Residency by Investment
The program may allow you to obtain an instant permanent residence permit by investing in movable or immovable property or bringing your regular passive income or pension to the country.
Permanent Residency must be renewed 1 year after its issuance. The other renewals must be made every 4 years.
Through the program, after 2 years of permanent residency you may be eligible for naturalization, provided that investment/income requirements are still met.
To become a citizen, you will have to be fluent in Spanish, as you are going to attend an interview with an official, where you will state the reasons why you want to be a Dominican citizen, while your knowledge about the country's values, traditions and culture, and your Spanish skills will also be tested.
Although there is no official physical residence requirement, it is recommended to spend significant periods of time in the country prior to naturalization, and to prove some ties to the country.
