Can I get residency by buying property in the Dominican Republic?
Editorial update:
Ownership alone is not a residence permission. Immigration routes have separate requirements and procedures. Obtain qualified advice before treating a purchase as sufficient for a particular route.

Assess residency and tax questions on their own terms
Owning a property is not itself permission to reside in the country. Immigration categories have their own eligibility, evidence and procedures; have a qualified adviser assess the route relevant to your circumstances. A property price or a sales description of an investment does not establish admission to a residency programme.
Also distinguish immigration residence, tax residence, taxes connected to the property and any reporting obligations where you live. An advertised CONFOTUR benefit concerns the qualifying project and applicable treatment; it does not settle every personal tax or immigration question. Share your intended use, budget and timing to plan a property tour around a workable purchase process.
