The Ministry of Tourism clarified that the rules have not changed and that foreign legal residents in the United States only need to purchase a tourist card to enter the DR. The US government now requires that they have a passport to re-enter the US, but the Dominican government has not changed entry requirements. The clarification comes after the Dominican consulate in Miami required that foreigners pay US$115 for a visa to travel to the country. As reported in dominicanoshoy.com, the new charge affected 90 tourists? travel plans who were planning to fly in on American Airlines last Sunday, as well as others who were traveling to the DR on board Spirit Airlines from Fort Lauderdale.
