Residency Visa

All foreign nationals looking to remain in the country longer than sixty days and obtain legal status, must complete a two part residency process. The first step is to obtain a RESIDENCY VISA via the Dominican Consulate in the country of origin, which is stamped onto the passport prior to traveling to the D.R. Once the residency visa is issued, the foreign national will have sixty days to enter the country and start the second part of the residency process with the Dominican Immigration Department.

There are two ways the Residency Visa (RS) can be processed: 1) From abroad: we can process the residency visa before your arrival in the country so that same is approved and stamped onto your passport before you travel. 2) From the Dominican Republic. Depending on the Consulate in the country of origin/residence, we may be able to interpose an application for a visa while the foreign national is on Dominican soil. You can apply for your residency visa immediately, we can work with you virtually or in person.
