You need a residency visa from your own country to start the process. It is valid for 60 days.

Scroll down this link to Residency Visa for the outline of what is required.

A call to the nearest Dominican consulate in your home country might be a useful first step to talk through what is needed.

Other memebers have obtained this resideny visa and moved onto getting temporary residency in DR and have posted their experiences so I am sure one or other will add comments.

If you have a pension, you will likely qualify for fast track residency which means after the residency visa and then delivering a formal application in DR, you get processed for one year temporary residency and one year later you apply for permanent residency.

Here is the link in Spanish explaining the process for a pensioner to apply for their first temporary residency when you arrive with residency visa.

You may need a lawyer for both the application for the residency visa and temporary residency visa when you arrive and members will offer you rrecommendations.

Good luck and don't hestitate to ask the members here for more information.
