One of the first products of the CELAC Summit is that Dominicans can now visit Paraguay, Guatemala and El Salvador without the necessity for a tourist visa for visits of up to 60 days. It was also announced that Honduras agreed to allow Dominicans to enter their country without a visa. The measure will go into effect as soon as the legal requirements have been met. The agreements are reciprocal.
The agreements were signed and announced by Dominican Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas, following bilateral meetings with his colleagues, Eladio Loizaga of Paraguay, Hugo Martinez Bonilla of El Salvador and María Dolores Agüero Lara of Guatemala and Carlos Raúl Morales Moscoso of Honduras.
Vargas also held bilateral meetings with his counterparts from Haiti and Jamaica prior to the commencement of the CELAC Summit.
Vargas pointed out that the Dominican Republic would also waive tourist visa requirements for short visits for citizens of Paraguay, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
