framework.
The Dominican Republic offers foreign investors a stable and transparent framework. Under Law 16-95 on Foreign Investment, the international investor enjoys the same rights as the national investor, with no currency restrictions for repatriating capital and income.
- Equal rights: foreign investors enjoy the same legal protection as Dominican nationals.
- Free capital repatriation: no currency restrictions to bring back capital or rental income.
- Solid land registry: Law 108-05 grants registered titles full legal certainty.
- Transparent transaction taxes: a single 3% transfer tax on the property value at closing. The annual IPI (real estate tax) only applies above the cadastral threshold set by the DGII.
