How 4Corporate supports you
You do not have to navigate a foreign residency file on your own. We help you choose the route that fits, prepare a complete application, and coordinate filing through licensed local counsel. After approval, we stay with you for the practical side of arriving — obtaining the necessities in that country, all the way to settling into your new home. A private consultation maps that path before anything is filed.

Residency
Why Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic residency is coordinated by 4Corporate as a standalone residency offering. The Dirección General de Migración publishes a temporary residence permit (RT-9) valid for one year, a later change to permanent residence, and a permanent residence-as-investor route that requires a minimum foreign investment of USD 200,000 with a CEI-RD or CNZFE investment certificate. The first investor residence card is valid for one year; after that period a card valid for four years may be issued, renewable for similar periods.
Advantages
Tax, location and daily life
Tax
Tax treatment after you reside in the Dominican Republic is confirmed against the tax authority in consultation. This landing does not publish a personal-tax rate.
Location
The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean jurisdiction with a published temporary permit (RT-9) and an investor residence from a minimum USD 200,000 foreign investment. It is distinct from Dominica citizenship by investment.
Healthcare
Independent guides typically describe private hospitals in Santo Domingo and the main tourist centres as adequate for routine and many specialist needs, with public care treated as more mixed.
Cost of living
Independent cost-of-living indexes typically describe the Dominican Republic as more affordable than the United States. Santo Domingo and tourist coasts cost more than inland towns; imported groceries and cars sit above local produce and services.
