Visa requirements for Dominican Republic citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the Dominican Republic. Along with Cuba and Haiti the Dominican republic passport is considered the weakest passport in Latin America for traveling. Despite several promises by the Government the Dominican Republic still doesn't have the biometric passport. In June 2024 the Government again promised the beginning of introduction of the biometric passports for February 2025.
Dominican Republic citizens are among only a few Latin American nations, such as Bolivia and Ecuador, that still do not enjoy a visa-free regime with the European Union.
As of 24 July 2024, holders of a Dominican Republic passport could travel to only 75 countries and territories without a travel visa or with a visa on arrival, ranking the Dominican Republic passport 66th ( tied with Kenya and Malawi) in terms of travel freedom, according to the Henley Passport Index,[1]
