Where the visa stands
MIREX lists residence visas for several purposes, including pensioners and independent-income applicants. A residence-entry visa and the subsequent residence procedure are separate.
Start with your work plans
No dedicated nomad visa is established by the reviewed directory. Ask MIREX and Migration which category permits your foreign employment or freelance activity.
Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Take the first application step
Select the correct residence category in MIREX’s official visa directory and confirm the subsequent Migration process.
Do not confuse the Dominican Republic with Dominica’s WIN program. Their fees and income rules are not interchangeable.
Keep two money questions separate
The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.
This briefing reorganizes the existing visa summary. It does not represent a new source review. The visa section of the guide keeps the original review dates and qualifications.
