Citizenship Question

[caligma]

how Can A Foreign Man Getting Married To A Dominican Woman In The D.r. Obtain Citizenship?

[webmacon]

Strange question but you can both separate, getting married without cotozenship or getting citizienship without being married ..... any specific info PM me.

A woman marries a Dominican citizen and automaticly gets citizenship..It does not work the other way around..If a man marries a Dominican citizen he must go through the process of applying for residency first then citizenship.

All this info can be found on the Homepage here on DR1..All your answers are there..

zak123 is correct, you have to go through the process just like anyone else to become a Dominican citizen. Here is the info to read DR1 - Legal

Thank you all who answered my first question on Citizenship. But now i have another question in regards to the Permanent Visa and they are as follows:

1. Having already had the Provisional Visa, is the Permanent Visa the last Visa that i would need so that i wont have to worry about any more processes with my Residency or should I apply for Citizenship too?

2. How Much is the Permanent Visa including all the taxes and other important paper work and How long does it take now in order to get it?

i hope this isn't too far off topic but....

in order to get a cedula you have to apply for and receive a provisional residency visa, correct or does it come with the permanent residency visa only?

Again I suggest you retain the services of Guzman and Ariza attorneys at law.But to answer your question..After you pick up your Provisional residency.NOT the date you apply you will have this for 1 year.Then you would apply for you Permant residency which after 2 years you can apply for citizenship..The cost to do it on your own is listed on the homepage under residency /citizenship questions..Please take the time to review this info.To do it pain /hassle free use the attorney I recommended..The provisional is $1,000 US plus16% service tax..The Permant is $800.00 US plus 16%..If this has not changed since Sept,06 than this info is 100% correct..Welcome to DR1.............any questions AFTER you review the info i posted and you go to the homepage..Then fee free to PM me..But if you do what I said all your questions will be answered..The list of office locations is there for Guzman and Ariza..They have english speaking staff in each office..I recommend the home office in Santo Domingo..There is a very charming young lady attorney there named Maycar Mejia who is very fluent in English.........

gracias por nada zak

i am familiar with the posted link but i do not believe it answers my cedula question. have you used the link provided?

as for Guzman/Ariza's numbers i also have those but fail to see why i'd call them and bother them for such simple and basic questions that should easily be answered here. i bet i'm not the only one that wants to know.

i've been looking here, searching DR1 and have not found my answer.

let me ask another way: how does one obtain a cedula?

...also, why would i want one?

thanks all
