Abstract This paper establishes sharp Gaussian upper bounds for Schrödinger semigroups generated by operators of the form - Δ D + V -₃+V on the positive orthant (0, ∞) d (0, ) ^{d} with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where V is a singular complex-valued potential. We prove that if V satisfies a dissipativity condition Re V ≤ 0 ReV 0, a weighted global Kato condition ∫ Ω ∏ i = 1 d x i | V (x) | 𝑑 x ∞ _{₈=₁^dx₈|V (x) |\, dx T V (t) Tₕ (t) admits an integral kernel satisfying the sharp bound | k t V (x, y) | ≤ C [ 1 ∧ ∏ i = <
