Dominican Republic · Free interactive check

Moving to the Dominican Republic? Check your readiness first.

Twelve quick questions. At the end you get a personal readiness profile: a score you can audit line by line, how your income lines up with the Dominican pensionado route, and your next steps in the right order.

Private by design: your answers are computed in this page and never leave your browser. No account, no email, nothing is sent or stored anywhere.

What you'll get:

✓ A Relocation Readiness Score (0–100) — every point explained, nothing hidden

✓ A straight answer on whether your income clears the researched pensionado income line

✓ A budget reality check against researched figures — dated and sourced

✓ A personal next-steps timeline, from 12 months out to your first 90 days

Takes about 2 minutes. This is educational planning help, not legal, tax, or insurance advice — details at the bottom.

How your score breaks down — every point explained

How this score is calculated

Seven factors, weighted by how much each one can delay or derail a real move: financial readiness vs. the Dominican pensionado income line (30), documents status (15), timeline runway (15), healthcare planning (15), Spanish & daily-life readiness (10), pets & household logistics (10), and housing-plan clarity (5). Each factor's points are shown next to its bar above, with the reason in plain words. There is no hidden formula and no data leaves this page. The weights are our editorial judgment, stated openly — a different planner might weight them differently.

The pensionado income line

Source: retiree-relocation market research, 2026-10-06 (Dominican Laws 285-04 / 171-07; government fee figures via mundo.expert). Thresholds and fees change — the manual re-verifies them every edition.

Your budget, against researched numbers

Sources: Dominican pensionado threshold & fee schedule (market research, 2026-10-06); published real-world retiree monthly budgets of about $1,400–$3,000 across destinations (Live and Invest Overseas, observed 2026-10-06).

    Important: This interactive check and the Settled Overseas manuals are educational information only. They are not legal, immigration, tax, insurance, medical, or real-estate advice, and they are not a substitute for a licensed attorney, CPA, or insurance professional in the relevant country. Nothing here determines whether you qualify for any visa, residency route, or program. Residency thresholds, fees, and rules are stated as of their cited dates and change over time; confirm current requirements with official sources and qualified local professionals before acting. Medicare generally does not cover healthcare outside the United States — Settled Overseas explains how foreign healthcare systems work and never recommends any insurance product or enrollment decision.
