A step-by-step preparation manual for Americans retiring or relocating to the Dominican Republic: what to do before you leave, how long you can legally stay, the path to residency, how to pick your city, rent vs. buy, banking, and how to vet the local professionals you'll rely on.
This is a pre-order for a manual currently in production. Details on delivery and refunds are below — please read them before ordering.
Every year, thousands of Americans move to the Dominican Republic. The ones who struggle usually aren't careless — they just didn't know what they didn't know:
The Settled Overseas Dominican Republic manual exists so you learn these things from a checklist instead of from a loss.
Every number in the manual carries a source and an "as of" date. When Dominican rules change the numbers, the manual is updated — and pre-order buyers receive the updates.
$149, one-time, through secure checkout. Your card is charged now; your place in line is locked.
The manual is in production now. When the pre-order goal of 10 orders is reached, production completes and the manual ships to every pre-order buyer within 60 days of that date.
If fewer than 10 pre-orders come in within 45 days — or the manual doesn't ship for any reason — every pre-order is refunded in full, automatically. No forms, no chasing.
Secure checkout powered by Stripe. You will see "Settled Overseas" on your payment confirmation.
No. The manual is educational information — route maps, official thresholds, document lists, and sequences — so you can prepare intelligently and talk to a Dominican immigration attorney already knowing the landscape. It never tells you what you personally qualify for; that's a licensed professional's job, and the manual shows you how to find a good one.
The manual is in production. Once 10 pre-orders are reached, it ships to all pre-order buyers within 60 days. If the goal isn't reached within 45 days, or the manual doesn't ship for any reason, your $149 is refunded in full, automatically.
Because it's where preparation matters most and help is scarcest: a real pensionado residency route from $1,500/month in pension income, direct flights from the U.S., and — unlike Mexico — no single dominant, trustworthy preparation manual for American retirees. Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico editions are planned after this one proves itself.
Visa rules and fees change — sometimes yearly. Every figure in the manual is dated and sourced, the manual is revised when rules change, and buyers receive those updates at no charge.
Yes. The manual is written for Americans relocating to the Dominican Republic — retirees are the core reader, but schools, family residency thresholds, and working-age routes are covered too.
Email us any time before delivery and we'll refund you in full. After delivery, if the manual genuinely isn't what was promised, email us — we'd rather refund you than have an unhappy reader.
No. Settled Overseas sells preparation manuals — nothing else. No real estate, no insurance, no financial products, no affiliate funnel into anyone's sales pipeline.
We'd rather prove people want this manual before finishing it than build it on hope. So the deal is simple and public: 10 pre-orders in 45 days means we finish and ship it; fewer than that means everyone is refunded in full and it doesn't get built. Either way, you risk nothing but a temporary hold on $149.
Important: 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. 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 — this manual explains how foreign healthcare systems work and never recommends any insurance product or enrollment decision.
