Why is a Dominican passport useful?
Ten-year visa to the USA
Only two kinds of the USA visa are provided for Dominican nationals – for 5 and 10 years.
Dominican nationals do not need to apply for a residence permit in the USA as they can visit this country with a long-term visa. This is what many people do – they live there for many years . What is more, they do not need to pay huge American overseas income taxes .
Accelerated EU naturalization
Spanish immigration laws offer a reduced term of naturalization for Dominican nationals.
While nationals of other countries need to have 10 years of residence in Spain before they can apply for naturalization, a term of 2 years only is provided for Dominican nationals. Due to this opportunity many Dominicans move to European countries after naturalization in Spain.
Accelerated naturalization in Mexico
Mexican immigration laws offer a reduced term of naturalization for Dominican nationals.
While nationals of other countries need to have 5 years of residence in Mexico before they can apply for naturalization, a term of 2 years only is provided for Dominican nationals. Due to this opportunity many Dominicans move to North America after naturalization in Mexico.
Accelerated naturalization in Colombia
Colombian immigration laws offer a reduced term of naturalization for Dominican nationals.
While nationals of other countries need to have 5 years of permanent residence in Colombia before they can apply for naturalization, a term of 1 year only is provided for Dominican nationals. We do not know why a person should wish to have a Colombian passport, but it is always pleasant to have such an opportunity.
