Residence by Investment - Rentista (Annuitant)

No - there is no dedicated digital-nomad visa. Remote workers with steady income from foreign clients or employers generally use the Rentista (annuitant) residence route instead, which is the de-facto home for location-independent earners. Confirm the income requirements on the official DGM page.

It is a fast-track investment-class route: qualifying applicants are typically issued a permanent-residence card from the first card, rather than years on temporary status. The qualifying income amount is set by the authorities, so treat any figure as indicative and confirm it on the official DGM page.

Yes. The Rentista route is not sponsorship-based and does not require a Dominican employer; it qualifies you on a stable monthly income from a foreign company, organism or investment rather than on a local job. Because the Dominican Republic has no dedicated digital-nomad visa, this is the de-facto route for remote workers and people of independent means. Confirm the income requirements on the official DGM page.

Yes. The income must be foreign-sourced and documented; income that is Dominican-sourced rather than from abroad, or that cannot be properly certified, is a common reason rentista applications are blocked. Confirm the requirements on the official DGM page.

You document the foreign monthly income with evidence such as bank certification or annuity/investment statements, alongside a residence visa from a Dominican consulate where required, a valid passport with photographs, the DGM medical examination results, and an apostilled or legalised criminal-record certificate.
