My experience is that the Christmas/New Year period is generally not a good work period anywhere in the DR. This year with Christmas and New Years coming during the middle of week, i would not expect much to get done. The day before Chrstmas, or may the day and half is likely to be time off so employees can travel to be with their families Then Friday, the day after Christmas, may also be closed. Same during the New Years week.
If you can pick another time, I would highly recommend you do it.
Thanks for the advice. I'll avoid going around Christmas time. Now are there any specific days of the week to avoid visiting Migracion (due to more frequent system outages, for example)?
