As of Monday, 24 September 2018, exit permits issued for unaccompanied minors will be valid for 90 days up from 30 days, says the Migration Agency (DGM). The permits affect Dominican nationals traveling alone or with only one of the child’s parents. The permits can be requested online and then paperwork deposited at any of the offices.
The measure will make it possible for parents to request the permits with more days and will bring relief to the agency that gets swamped by the requests in peak vacation times of the year. The permits will also be issued now at the regional offices in Santiago, Puerto Plata and Punta Cana, in addition to the main office at the Plaza Malecon Center.
