"If you plan to stay in the Dominican Republic for an extended period of time, you will need to obtain a residency visa. This visa can be obtained from the Dominican Republic Embassy or Consulate in your home country. You will need to provide proof of your identity, such as a valid passport, and proof of financial stability, such as a bank statement. Additionally, you may need to provide a criminal background check and a medical certificate. Once you have obtained the visa, you will need to register with the Dominican Republic Immigration Office," remarked another expat who made the move to Dominican Rep.
