Frequently Asked Questions

Which program is cheaper to get into?

Both programs involve legal and application fees, but the ongoing compliance costs can differ. Because the USVI program is based on U.S. tax law, accounting can sometimes be more complex and costly. DecreeCheck helps you understand the potential costs upfront.

Is it hard to prove residency?

It requires careful record-keeping. You'll need to track your days on the island, get a local driver's license, register to vote, and more. Our platform can help you build a checklist of the evidence you need to collect to prove you are a bona fide resident.

How quickly can I get a decision on my application?

Application times vary, but they can take several months in both Puerto Rico and the USVI. It's important to start the process well in advance of your planned move. Our service focuses on reviewing your compliance *after* you have a decree, giving you instant feedback.
