Dominican Republic passports are issued to citizens of the Dominican Republic to travel outside the country.

Controversy

In May 2001, Kim Jong-nam, deceased eldest son of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, was arrested at Narita International Airport, in Tokyo, Japan, travelling on a forged Dominican Republic passport. He was detained by immigration officials and later deported to the People's Republic of China. The incident caused Kim Jong-il to cancel a planned visit to China due to the embarrassment caused by the incident.[1]

Visa requirements

As of 1 January 2018, Dominican Republic citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 62 countries and territories, ranking the Dominican Republic passport 73rd in terms of travel freedom (tied with Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean passports) according to the Henley visa restrictions index.[2]
