What trips people up
- CheckSquare US-style format: 'Una (1) fotografía 2¨x 2¨ plgs. de frente y fondo blanco.' (one 2 x 2 inch photograph, frontal, white background), repeated word for word for every visa type on the page. A 35 x 45 mm print will not do.
- CheckNo head measurement is published; we apply the ICAO Doc 9303 70-80 % crown-to-chin band to the 51 mm height ('The crown-to-chin portion of the facial image shall be 70 to 80 per cent of the longest dimension defined for Zone V'), flagged as a default, not a Dominican figure.
- CheckTourist visa (TS single entry, TM two entries, 60 days) documents: 'Formulario de Visa.', the photo, 'Pasaporte Original con vigencia mínima de seis (6) meses.', residence-card copy if applicable, parental authorisation for minors not travelling with a parent, civil-status certificates, previous visas and proof of funds (employment letter, three months of bank statements).
- CheckChannel and timing: 'Presencial y correo electrónico.' (in person and by e-mail), '10 a 20 días laborables.' (10 to 20 working days); the service is for 'Ciudadanos Extranjeros.' and completing the list 'NO SUPONE UNA APROBACIÓN DEL VISADO' (does not mean approval).
- CheckBusiness visas with work purposes (NM1) add employer and company documents and, once in the country, a 30-day deadline to appear before the Dirección General de Migración.
