Understanding Professional Regulations in Dominican Republic
Interesting topic. My first comment is that nothing is straightforward. Every single profession will be different.
All processes are done in Spanish. All documents will need to be legally translated. The process will be long and complicated.
And in some cases there are no regulations at all, it's a free for all. Think real estate, massage practitioners etc.
Sorry to be vague but the reality is each profession will be different.
