Notes

The Dominican Republic has no digital nomad or remote-worker visa. The Foreign Ministry lists tourism, business, residence, student and official visas only. Visitors who may enter without a visa use the Tarjeta de Turista: US$10, one entry and 30 days. Air tickets sold outside the country have included that fee since 25 April 2018. Migration can extend the stay to 120 days. The request is free; the tariff is RD$3,500 for 30 to 90 days and RD$5,600 for 90 to 120 days. Lucrative activity in the country voids the card. Longer rows on the stay-fee table are overstay charges, not permission to remain. Nationalities on the tax authority's visa list need a consular visa instead. Holders of a valid US, Schengen, Canadian or British residence or multiple-entry visa may enter for tourism with a passport and a tourist card. Tax residence starts once 182 days have passed. Income tax is a mixed territorial system: Dominican-source income is taxed, foreign investment and financial gains are taxed, and a new resident's foreign-source income is taxed from the third taxable year.
