You will need a Passport to come here and purchase a tourist visa when you arrive at the airport here for 10 US dollars.
You will need a letter of recommendation from a bank to open a bank account.
For your residency you will need two original copies of your birth certificate with raised seal, a letter from your local police department stating you aren't wanted and are a citizen in good standing. You will need a Dominican to stand up for you saying they agree to ship your body back to the US in case you die. You also have to show money here either in cash or investments of 15k US dollars. Attorney costs 1000 US dollars on the inexpensive side and 1500-2000 US on the high side.
I used Dolly Cabrera a connected attorney in Santiago ([email protected]) to get my citizenship and a friend used her for residency. Walked both of us through everything and it was a piece of cake. You will need an aids test and a physical which is part of the price you will pay along with a chest x-ray. You get your Temp residency first and a year later you need to get your Permanent residency. After a resident for 5 years you can apply to become a citizen.
Same process but you will have an oral exam in Spanish and you must be proficient in Dominican History. I had a farm here and talked about raising goats and sheep and vegetables and he was happy as could be with me
He asked only questions about farming and forgot to ask me the others.
Let me know if you have any other questions and NO you can't ask the US government what you need

Go to travel.state.gov and look up the DR for specifics.
