El Siglo reports that the Dominican consuls in Haiti are issuing a record numbers of visas. The newspaper reports that consuls issue visas for a single entry (US$40) and also for multiple entry (US$200). The newspaper points out that a "significant portion of the cost of the visa is kept by the consuls." El Siglo says the visas are being issued despite the Ministry of Foreign Relations having an established limit of 50 visas per day. El Siglo reports that Dominican consuls in Haiti have issued more than 43,000 visas in the past four months. Of the 43,929 Haitians who entered legally through Jimani, Dajabon and Elías Piña, 35,324 returned to Haiti and 7,000 did not.
