HomeDominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is one of the most stable countries in the Caribbean.
It also has a strategic geographic location and very low labour and living costs, together with the Laws to promote the Foreign Investment, make it very attractive for those who are looking for high profitability and security.
Buying Property in Dominican Republic
There are no restrictions on foreigners purchasing a property in the Dominican Republic.
In 1998, a law was passed allowing foreigners to buy property in the Dominican Republic with the same rights and obligations as a Dominican citizen. The only requirement is that the Title Registry Offices keep a record, for statistical purposes, of all purchases made by foreigners. Acquiring property here is straightforward.

Buyer and seller sign a "Contract of Sale" before a Notario, who authenticates it. (Notaries in the Dominican Republic are required to have a law degree.) The Contract of Sale contains the legal description of the property, the price, and conditions of sale. The authenticated Contract is then taken to the nearest Internal Revenue Office for payment of the appropriate taxes. The Contract of Sale and the Certificate of Title of the seller are deposited at the Title Registry Office for the jurisdiction where the property is located, and the sale is recorded. The Title Registry Office issues a new Certificate of Title in the name of the buyer and cancels the old Certificate issued previously to the seller. The whole process can take from a few days to a few months.
