Are foreigners allowed to own property in Dominican Rep?

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has a law that allows foreign citizens to purchase and own real estate in the country. The law also allows foreign citizens to obtain a mortgage from a local bank to finance the purchase of a property. In order to purchase a property, foreign citizens must obtain a residency permit, which can be done through a local lawyer or a real estate agency. Once the residency permit is obtained, the foreign citizen can then purchase the property and obtain the necessary documents to register the property in their name," explained one expat living in Dominican Rep.
