During a visit to Santo Domingo yesterday, Wednesday 15 October 2014, Haitian Foreign Relations Minister Duly Brutus said that his government might ask for an extension of the deadline for the Dominican Republic Foreigner Legalization Plan in order to have more time to sort out “the problems with documentation.” Most people in Haiti do not have legal documentation that has caused major problems when they apply to legalize their status for residence in the Dominican Republic.
After recognizing that they are “aware of the fact that there have been problems” with the delivery of documents to their citizens, Brutus said that “we are going to ask our Dominican counterparts for an extension of the deadline in order to be able to resolve the problems with the documentation.”
The legalization plan started on 2 June 2014 and will end on 31 May 2015.
The Haitian minister was answering questions during a press conference at the Dominican Ministry of Foreign Relations, together with his Dominican counterpart Andres Navarro. The ministers said that they met to deal with a broad agenda of bilateral issues.
Navarro said that they have appointed representatives of both countries to provide follow-up on the economic political and social capital agendas set forth by both countries.
