Decreto Ejecutivo N° 12 (martes 30 de junio 2026)

QUE DEROGA EL DECRETO EJECUTIVO NO.716 DE 23 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015, QUE INCLUYE A LA REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA DENTRO DE LOS PAÍSES QUE REQUIERAN VISA ESTAMPADA POR EL CÓNSUL PARA INGRESAR AL TERRITORIO NACIONAL

Aevamo’s reading

DE 320 de 2008, the regulation implementing Decreto Ley 3 de 2008, creates the obligation: art. 18 requires nationals of countries without a visa-suppression agreement with Panama to obtain tourist visas, and art. 19 grants exempt nationals a tarjeta de turismo valid up to 90 days. The consular lists and later decrees implement or amend this framework; the obligation originates here.

This is the Gaceta Oficial's own index entry for Decreto Ejecutivo N° 12 of 30 June 2026, a decree whose entire operative object is to repeal Decree No. 716 of 23 November 2015 — the instrument that had placed the Dominican Republic on the stamped-visa list. Repealing it removes the only instrument requiring Dominican nationals to obtain a visa, so the current classification of the competent authority, cited under fieldSources.entryMode, governs and they enter visa-free.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
