I have ask the same question before
I want to bring a DR girl to Hong Kong to see Disney (the one in Europe or US needs visa, and getting the visa is a game that I do not even want to entertain) . As Hong Kong does not require a visa for DR citizen, I think it is very easy. But it is not.
Almost all the flights to Hong Kong (or anywhere in Asia) need connections in Canada and US (few need connection in Europe), and as such the girl needs a visa to Europe/US/Canada anyhow before she can board the plant.
At this point, I realize why Hong Kong does not need a visa for DR citizens because they cannot reach Hong Kong before they get Europe/US/Canada visa first. In other words, Europe/US/Canada will do the visa/criminal screening for Hong Kong.
It is so true "a medal would be more appropriate for anyone who could work out how to get there from here" even a visa is not technically required for these countries.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me to find a solution other than a private jet.
I'm not sure how useful it is for Dominicans to be able to enter Tuvalu without a visa. I think a medal would be more appropriate for anyone who could work out how to get there from here.
