Dominican residency fees without the guesswork.
Government charges, medical exams, insurance, translations, and professional support are different cost categories. This page separates them.
Official fees and service times
These are the figures displayed by Dirección General de Migración on the verification date. “Processing time” means the authority's published service time after a compliant filing; it is not a guaranteed end-to-end calendar.

The 2026 MIP process requires case-specific confirmation.
MIP moved naturalization intake into a new digital procedure and announced the end of the transition period on September 30, 2026. From October 1, applications are handled under the new procedure. The portal charge and exact document set should be confirmed for the applicant's route before payment. CaribRus does not present one observed portal invoice as a universal statutory tariff.
Eligibility first
Confirm the legal basis, residency history, absences, civil-status documents, and route before building the file.
Portal evidence
Keep receipts, status screenshots, uploads, and every official requerimiento for the active expediente.
No combined promise
A processing estimate for one authority is not a guaranteed timeline through decree, oath, civil registration, cédula, and passport.
CaribRus pricing is quoted separately.
