## Controversy

[edit]

In May 2001, Kim Jong-nam, the eldest son of then 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

[edit]

As of 24 July 2024, Dominican Republic citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 75 countries and territories, ranking the Dominican Republic passport 66th (tied with Kenya and Malawi) in terms of travel freedom, according to the Henley visa restrictions index.[2]

## Biometric Passports

[edit]

In 2023, the Dominican government announced that passports would go biometric by early 2024.[3] 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.
