Okay, I've known for 6 years, along with many of you, just how awesome Lishali is for residency. I now know that her expertise, professionalism, knowledge, and persistence extend well beyond Migracion! I closed on the sale of my house here in DR ...

@planner Are the details of the requirements for residency by investment in the forum threads? The Dominican website was kind of vague, just stated the $200,000, but I'm guessing it has to be something, a business that employs Dominicans is that ... Read More

@ddmcgheeok thanks for clarifying that about the passive income, good to know. I've looked at that investment option, too. Hmm. I do want to eventually buy a home, but I was hoping to be a long-term renter there for a while first. Oh boy, this idea ... Read More

@ddmcghee Thanks, I'll probably do that too, as the pet services are pretty expensive, and some only do the paperwork for you, anyway. The private jets for pets are even more expensive. Glad to hear your pup made it ok. 馃惗 Read More
