The Investment Code guarantees the right to transfer abroad dividends and profits after tax, subject to:
Repatriation via licensed banks: all transfers over USD 10 000 must go through an approved commercial bank.
Exchange-control fee: 0.2% (minimum USD 1) on outward remittances.
Documentation: banks will require the audited financial statements, corporate-income-tax clearance certificate from the DGI, and sometimes attestation from the Central Bank that your foreign-currency account is in good standing.
Timing: repatriation should occur within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year or upon payment of dividends, whichever is later.
