Yesterday I flew into Santo Domingo on a full flight Jet Blue. The airport was so crowded that the people waiting t0 greet and pick up was about 4 deep. In my opinion the line for visitors in immigrations was twice the size as "residents". For SDQ I think that is very positive.

Full Full flight and airport
I flew in yesterday to sdq too, on United. Jam packed flight. Mostly Dominicans. Immigration backup.
Amazing thing is the the roads were empty. We flew through Santo Domingo, we live outside San Cristobal. Blinked and we were home.

Latetly that immigration line has been very long. I fly in and out very often and it drives me insane. I wish they offered some kind of tsapre equivalent or something. Lines are my pet peeve.
I was eyeing the Dominicans going through those turnstiles all the way to the right. 1-2-3 and they were out the door.
My POP arrival on the 20th was as busy as I have ever seen it at Immigration.
Luckily..... I don't use the tourist lines.....40-50 minutes for sure

From landing out the door at pop 20 minutes fastest airport I have ever been too even busy days...
Consider getting a membership with Priority Pass, which is an independent lounge service.
They usher you straight through immigration at both SDQ and POP. If you don't check luggage, you're on the way to ground transportation in less than five minutes.
Membership isn't expensive, and is included with a number of credit and charge cards.

For the Dominicans in this forum or residents that become citizents the faster way is using the autogate, is even faster than the line for Dominicans.
Since Vinci adquired Aerodom a lot positives things happend to SDQ, soon starting the 2nd. phase of remodelation and modernization with new departure migration in the 3rd floor, fist phase was just finished at the exit door area.
I have priority pass. It came with my chase sapphire card(best travel card ever btw). But how do I use priority pass to get through immigration faster? Its for lounge access when you're departing
Both POP and SDQ have arrival lounges as well. It needs to be reserved in advance. You are met at the gate, escorted to the lounge, they claim your baggage for you, and they escort you to immigration where you are processed ahead of those in line. Well worth it if immigration normally has long lines when you arrive.

I am freaking mindblown!!! Now I have to figure out how to do it. Thank you all
Do you travel a lot? The $550 annual fee is a non-starter for me. I travel only 4 or 5 times a year.
Correct, those benefits are like the timeshare, if you do not travel a lot better skip it.
Yes I do. For example, I travel back and forth to Santo Domingo on a weekly basis. Sometimes 2x a week. My schedule only eases up during the xmas season.
