An editorial in El Dia on 28 November 2018 raises the national concern over the efforts of the Medina administration under Foreign Relations Miguel Vargas Maldonado to sign visa free travel relations with countries known for 24/7 security issues. Now, Dominicans can travel visa free to 27 countries around the world.
“Many of these are true paradises for sightseeing. Others, without the complete information being offered, present a level of violence more barbarous than in the Dominican Republic, and which translates into citizen insecurity at all hours of the day,” reads the editorial.
Since Monday, 26 November 2018, there is no need for Dominicans to have a tourist visa to go to Russia, bringing the total number of visa free countries for Dominicans to at least 27. During this year, the new countries to become visa free for Dominicans are Russia, Qatar, Uruguay, Brazil and Belize.
The other visa free countries are Korea, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Georgia, British Guyana, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Paraguay, Botswana, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Morocco, Ukraine and Vietnam.
