I was born in the USA with a Dominican dad and my dream has always been to live in Dominican Republic but every time I talking about moving to Dominican Republic with Dominicans they tell me the USA is better and the Dominican Republic has nothing to offer.

Muy difícil, aunque por lo que veo esto es la clinica privada y en bajo costo . Aqui hay particiones que salen en los 200,000

Hi everyone! I’m Dominican, currently living abroad in Europe, and I’m preparing to buy an apartment in the Dominican Republic in the future.

About a year ago, I opened a USD account with BHD specifically for this purpose, so I could gradually save money toward the purchase.

Since I live in Europe, my income and bank accounts here are in euros. My plan would be to transfer money from my European bank account or Wise and have the funds arrive in USD directly into my BHD USD account.

I’m mainly looking to hear from people who have actually gone through this process, especially with larger transfers.

For example, if I were to transfer $25,000–$30,000 USD, what has your experience been with BHD? Did they place any limits on the transfer, hold the funds, block the account, or ask for additional documentation?

I contacted BHD by email, but the response I received was very general and didn’t really answer my specific situation. They gave me information about certain banks in the US and Europe, but my bank wasn’t listed. When I asked for clarification, they told me I needed to call.

Before I spend time calling and potentially receiving the same general information, I wanted to ask here:

For those of you living abroad who have transferred larger amounts of money into your BHD USD account:

What documents did BHD ask you to provide to prove the source of the funds?

Did they ask for an employment letter, payslips, bank statements, tax documents, etc.?

Do they accept documents in English, or do they require them to be translated into Spanish?

Did you have to notify BHD before making the transfer?

If the transfer was held or your account was temporarily restricted, how did BHD contact you?

Did they contact you by email, phone, or through another method?

If you live outside the Dominican Republic, how were you able to communicate with them and provide the requested documents?

Is there a direct phone number, email, or specific department that you can contact from abroad if there is an issue with the transfer or account?

I’m trying to prepare everything in advance, employment letter, payslips, bank statements, proof of source of funds, etc. so that if I make a transfer of $25K–$30K, I’m prepared in case they need documentation or verification.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your actual experience with BHD, especially from Dominicans living abroad who have transferred significant amounts into their USD accounts.

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

Looking to hear from anyone who has dealt with something similar in the Dominican Republic.
My family has had a house/property for decades and we have older notarized documents related to ownership/possession. We recently hired an agrimensor and had a new survey done.

The survey showed that the house is located inside a much larger parcel that currently has a definitive title (título definitivo) in a company’s name. The company’s parcel was created through a subdivision years after the house was already there, and the cadastral documents actually mention “ocupación de terceros.”
We were told that the company may need to agree to another subdivision so our portion can eventually receive its own title.
Before contacting the company, I’m getting an opinion from a Dominican real-estate attorney because I want to understand what rights the older documents and long-term occupation may provide.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation in DR?

Did you have to purchase the land rights from the titled company/owner, or was there another legal process to recognize the existing occupant’s rights and obtain an individual title?
I’m not looking for legal advice—just interested in hearing real experiences and what the process looked like for you.
