The Government of Dominica acknowledges the decision of the Government of the United States of America, announced by the White House on December 16, 2025, to impose partial travel restrictions affecting Dominican nationals, effective January 1, 2026.
The Government of Dominica understands the concern this announcement may cause and wishes to reassure all Dominicans, that this matter is being treated with the utmost seriousness and urgency.
To this end, the Government is actively engaging officials of the United States Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados, to obtain formal clarification on the scope of the measures, the basis on which they were taken and the specific implications for Dominican travellers, students, families and other legitimate holders of U.S. visas.
The Government will continue to work closely with U.S. authorities to address any issues identified, to protect the interests of Dominican citizens and to ensure that accurate information is provided to the public. Further updates will be issued as soon as additional details are confirmed.
