Apparently, the US Embassy in Santo Domingo is one of the busiest issuing tourist visas.
Last year was the second consecutive year that the amount of tourist visas granted surpassed 100,000 for Dominicans (if experience from family members, friends, and acquaintances is representative, then its safe to assume the typical tourist visa is for 10 years before it needs to be renewed.)
For a person to be granted a US tourist visa, they basically have to prove they are at least middle class with strong assets tying them to the country.
Only China, India, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia surpassed the DR in US tourist visas granted.
Non-immigrant visas to Dominicans surpassed 200,000 in 2017 and over 146,000 in 2016. The DR might be number one in Latin America and probably worldwide too on a per capita basis.
Sign of the changing times in the DR.
