Our Services
Temporary and Permanent Residency:
Assisting you in obtaining legal residence to start your new life.
Living in the Dominican Republic for more than a few months requires a legal residency permit. At Ramos Legal Services, we make the process simple, guiding you from your first application to receiving your residency card.
Temporary Residency
Temporary residency is ideal for those planning to stay between 1 and 5 years before becoming eligible for permanent residency. Common reasons include work assignments, investments, family reunification, and long-term studies. This status is generally issued for one year and can be renewed annually.
Permanent Residency
Permanent residency is available to those who have held temporary residency for the required time, or who qualify through fast-track programs such as marriage to a Dominican citizen, retirement, or significant investment. Permanent residents enjoy long-term legal status, fewer renewal requirements, and a direct pathway to Dominican citizenship.
Naturalization and Citizenship:
Guiding you through the steps to become a Dominican citizen.
Naturalization & Citizenship Services – Dominican Republic
Becoming a Dominican citizen is the final step for many who have chosen the Dominican Republic as their permanent home. At Ramos Legal Services, we provide expert legal assistance to guide you through the naturalization process from start to finish.
Pathways to Dominican Citizenship
By Birth – For individuals born in the Dominican Republic or to Dominican parents abroad (with legal proof).
Visa Applications:
Helping you to apply for the visa to get your residency
Are you planning to settle permanently in the Dominican Republic? The Residency Visa (RS) is the essential first step to obtain your temporary residency and later your permanent residency in the country.
This visa is available for applicants who qualify under the following categories:
✅ Family ties: reunification through marriage or direct dependency.
✅ Investors: under Law 171-07.
✅ Pensioners, retirees, or annuitants: also under Law 171-07.
🔹 The Residency Visa (RS) is valid for 60 days and allows a single entry into the country. Once you arrive in the Dominican Republic, you must appear before the General Directorate of Migration to complete the process for your temporary residency, fulfilling the additional requirements established by law (Decree No. 631-11, implementing Regulation of the General Immigration Law No. 285-04).
