SANTO DOMINGO – The Dominican Republic’s General Directorate of Migration (DGM) has successfully maintained full operational capacity across all its immigration facilities throughout the Christmas period. The institution confirmed that ports, airports, border checkpoints, and administrative offices nationwide have functioned without interruption despite seasonal passenger surges.
Both domestic and international travelers have reported significantly improved experiences at the country’s major transit hubs, with many noting reduced waiting times and more streamlined arrival procedures. These operational enhancements have drawn particular praise from passengers who frequently navigate the nation’s busiest terminals during peak travel seasons.
The DGM attributes these efficiency gains to strategic technological implementations, including the optimized deployment of the E-Ticket system and reinforced data authentication protocols. Special attention has been given to streamlining documentation verification for minors traveling across borders, a measure that has substantially accelerated passenger processing at immigration control stations.
Supplementary services including Customer Service departments, the central Immigration Directorate, and the dedicated Call Center have all maintained regular operations to address heightened seasonal demand. The DGM has also ensured continuous service availability at critical border crossings in Dajabón, Elías Piña, Jimaní, and Pedernales regions.
The immigration authority reaffirmed its institutional commitment to delivering secure, orderly, and efficient migration services through continued technological innovation and operational refinements, particularly during high-volume travel periods.
