We just left and this was an embarrassment to the Dominican Republic. They are so unorganized in this office. It’s like they have no training or have any idea how to run this office. There are kids of employees running around, they even lost my husbands cédula for which we had to pay them $15 to get a replacement. We have no idea if his new passport will arrive in the mail….. absolutely no faith in these people.

Surprised with the change that the Dominican embassy has given in terms of Service. Excellent !!! I will always be grateful to Mrs. Pilar, she made me feel like we were a family, very attentive and helpful, thanks to you I was able to get the document I needed. As a Dominican abroad, I am proud of the great work they are doing. LONG LIVE QUISQUELLA!!!

The people who work at this consulate are very friendly. They have very good knowledge and guided us perfectly to achieve what we need. The office very clean. The location is not very good as parking is difficult. But in general all the services received were to the expectation. Thank you very much.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I cannot figure out if I need to buy a Tourist Visa or just a Tourist Card for my trip to the Dominican Republic. I am a US Citizen. I am traveling for tourist purposes only and will be staying 40-42 days. Can anyone tell me which one I need?

Embassy of the Dominican Republic | Oct 29, 2019

Thank you for contacting the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Washington, D.C. With a valid U.S. Passport OR international passport + U.S. visa, U.S. resident card or, European Union (including Great Britain) or Canadian Visa valid throughout your stay in the Dominican you do not need a Dominican visa unless you are planning to visit for over 30 days, or conduct business there. Should you not have these, need to study, conduct business or travel longer than 30 days, then Dominican VISA is required prior. Regarding actual travel, payment for a tourist card which is a tax fee of USD$10.00 per person, as of April 1st of the past year the fee is probably already bundled with your airfare costs. Should it not be included, you may purchase the tourist card upon the port of entry into the Dominican Republic. For further information please visit our website at: http://drembassyusa.org/visas Sincerely, Embassy of The Dominican Republic

My passport expired and I would like to know how I can renew it and the documents I need, cost and where I can get it

Mery Bradley (Sunshine) | Oct 28, 2020
Alexandra Reinoso | Oct 28, 2020

The first thing that you should contact them to make an appointment, since they do not attend you without an appointment, you must bring 2 2x2 photos with a white background and you must not have clothes or smiles or white clothes (the top part), you must have a Certificate of birth that is unextended legalized issued from 2016 onwards, identity card, the experienced passport and bring an application that they send you through your email when you make the appointment, the cost depends on the consulate in Washington the cost is 135 dollars and it takes from 1 month to 2 months to receive it.

I think not, but you can process the card that they ask you for as an ID to process any document in the Dominican Republic and/or Embassy.

Good afternoon, after greeting you when a caller says that the phone number has been disconnected or changed, please review and refresh the information.

Do US permanent Resident (GREEN CARD) apply for a visa before traveling to Haiti? Santiago Dominican Republic.

Francis Ikonagbon | Oct 29, 2017
Daniel Ventura | Oct 29, 2017

To go to Haiti you need to apply for a Visa. Though the system is so bad you don't really need one, I've been there plenty of times without one and I'm a dominican citizen. Now, where are you from? Haiti may not require your country a Visa so you need to look into that
