I have been reading a lot about places to retire and DR is at the top of my list. However my job lets me work from anywhere I have access to a high speed internet connection.

I have read about requirements for retirement residency, but as I am not yet retired and all my income comes from my job could I still qualify for DR residency?

If you can show income of a certain amount a month or a certain level of savings then yes you can qualify with out being retired

But from what I read, that investment income or income from real estate rental. My income is mostly derived from salary.

You can get a regular residencia not an investors or retirement residencia. It's not difficult.

Thank you Planner for your one line response. That one line helped me a lot. I want to retire to DR. Won't have the required income for pension visa for another two years. I will do the regular visa. I have a pension over $1,200. per month, and I own property I plan to sell. It should give me at least $50,000 bank. Will my income be enough for regular visa?

Have you spent any time here yet?
Before jumping in with both feet you should consider a month or so here then make some decisions based on your experience.

Easier said than done! Besides, I think like Catvo. What income is required for regular residency?

Immigration and visa assistance

Comprehensive support with Dominican Republic visa applications and immigration procedures.

Before you decide to retire here listen to Bob K and spend at least a month here in the area you are interested in living. IT IS MUCH DIFFERENT TO LIVE HERE THAN TO VACATION HERE!
