Just read of a british traveler denied entry at Punta Cana Airport. Her companion had no problem. They were booked into hotel for I think 10days. She was brought into an office and not told why. Why would this happen?

I read about it online, easy to find, an interesting story in daily mail. With all due respect to op, here it is. Thank you Nadie21.

Interesting, after reading the article seems maybe a passport issue? Something mentioned about Colombia, but no explanation was given about any previous travel to Colombia.
Maybe there was an identity or data entry mix up. The authorities in the RD are provided passenger information through the airline prior to its origin departure to the DR and also the online tourist card information. At any point near to departure she could have been advised of entry denial. Something went awry.

The article said they scanned the passport many times without success. Maybe that flagged it as a fake passport.
I don’t believe I have those privileges to post here. The article I saw is in the Daily Mail.
Just for the record, the fact someone is British or from Europe or North America doesn't mean that they should be allowed into the DR.
DR Migración: "Señor, follow me".
Señor: "What? I'm British!"
DR Migración: "Mr, don't waste my time and follow me..."
DR Migración: "Señor, follow me".
Señor: "What? I'm British!"
DR Migración: "Mr, don't waste my time and follow me..."

She has never travelled to Colombia, has no criminal record, and she wasn't told the reason for them flagging her passport.
yea, but if they are going
Sure deny entry but do it at the other end before she gets on the aircraft.
She never pulled the "I'm British!" card, she just wanted to know why they refused entry. Most of your replies are informative but sometimes you're just a lambon 🤣
One would think there would be an English-speaking immigration official at an airport where hundreds of thousands of English-speaking tourists arrive and depart.
Then why did the article mention Colombia? Are you privy to some information we do not know about?
Stories pop up now and then about "denied entry" but do we ever get the whole story? Bob says she never traveled to Colombia but yet the article refers to Colombia twice. The authors of the article also state they tried to reach out to the Colombia consulate/embassy. For me there is always more to the story in these cases. Mistaken identity?
Someone, Nadie 21 read something.

Now a moderator who was not present kicks in with an imaginary conversation.
If you were present at migración let us know NALs.
We do know that the DR has laws.
If entry is denied, it is on the basis of DR laws. ( This rarely happens)
In an advanced country like DR surely there is an official at PUJ international who is capable of speaking english.
Normally one expects to be given the reason for denied entry.
We do know that Dominicans require a visa to visit most countries.
That includes Dominica and other Caribbean countries.
We do know that this is based on past conduct of Dominicans in foreign countries.
Resulting in most Dominicans suffering for other Dominicans bad conduct.

XQT, NALS was giving an "example" of a conversation nothing more. You however are giving us "Visa requirements for Dominican Citizens" which has nothing to do with this situation at all.
