Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic administers residence through the Direccion General de Migracion, with retiree (Pensionado), annuitant (Rentista) and investor routes that grant permanent residence quickly, alongside ordinary temporary and work-based residence. There is no dedicated digital-nomad visa - remote workers typically use the Rentista route. It is a popular, US-dollar-friendly retiree and relocation destination.
