An officer of the United Kingdom Embassy in the Dominican Republic told Listín Diario that it would assist British citizen Glyn Thomas to return to the UK. Thomas traveled to the Dominican Republic after six months of chatting with Dominican Wilfa Soto of Cotuí in the northeast. Soto has complained that Thomas has told her he came with a one-way ticket and has overstayed his welcome. Soto has appealed to social media for assistance so that Thomas can return to where he came from. She has said he has told her he cannot afford to purchase the return ticket.
As reported in Listin Diario, the embassy officer said that they would assist Thomas so all his rights be honored. The details of this case are not known. It is irregular for an airline to transport a tourist to the country without a return ticket.
