Investing in another country requires understanding its rules: how real estate is purchased, which corporate vehicle is best, what tax obligations apply and how to obtain residency. We explain each step clearly and coordinate every procedure.
Our founding partner is admitted in the Dominican Republic and in the State of New York, which makes communication with investors and advisors abroad easier.

Foreign Investor Advisory
Common Questions
Yes, as a general rule foreign nationals can acquire real estate in the country. Before buying, the legal status of the property and the seller should be verified; we handle that review and the transfer.
Not always. It depends on the type of investment, your operating plans and your tax situation. Once we understand your project, we recommend whether to invest personally or through a company.
Dominican law provides for residency for investors. The requirements depend on the type and amount of the investment; when we assess your case we tell you whether you qualify.
Many steps can be advanced remotely through a duly granted power of attorney. We tell you which procedures require your presence and which we can handle on your behalf.
