Right now the CAA of the Dominican Republic is NOT issuing licenses to foreigners (strong gains by the pilot union)

YES that is correct ,but the B1900 servicios aereos operate have N -registrations I believe or at least they used to , on top of that ,if they really want you to fly one of their planes ,they just have to phone DGAC and they issue you the licence in a flash .

Things have indeed changed a LOT in the DR aviation scene and at SAP Pablo, I was the first 1900 captain on the part 135 (US certification based in San Juan) for SAP. and at one point we had 5 1900's and only one was "HI" registered, the other 4 where "N" registered as you pointed out, SAP is not operating the US part 135 certificate anymore and they only have 2 1900's left and both are "HI" registered and I know all their captains personally for over 15 years, I have flown with all of them.
In the other hand, the DGAC has also changed a lot since back in the day and they have cleaned house (by a mandate from the current government) to be able to obtain the authorization to fly commercially to the US (which they obtained already), the #2 at the DGAC and I learned to fly together back in 1980 and we remain good friends. All the foreign pilots that used to fly at SAP, Caribair and in some other corporate jobs have had their licenses canceled or simply not renewed as their medicals became due. I don't know if it will change in the future, but I can assure you that currently the DR is NOT an ex pat market
