Controversy[]
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[]
As of 07 July 2021, Dominican Republic citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 70 countries and territories, ranking the Dominican Republic passport 79th in terms of travel freedom, according to the Henley visa restrictions index.[2]
