SANTO DOMINGO – In a significant move to bolster national border security, the Dominican Republic’s General Directorate of Migration (DGM) has initiated a specialized recruitment campaign targeting young male citizens for immigration enforcement roles. The initiative specifically focuses on strengthening immigration control mechanisms in the country’s northern territories, which have experienced increased migration pressures in recent years.
The recruitment drive, announced through official government channels, establishes strict eligibility criteria for prospective candidates. Applicants must be Dominican nationals aged 18-30 who have successfully completed secondary education. The DGM has emphasized additional mandatory requirements including specific physical conditioning standards, comprehensive medical fitness, and appropriate documentation verification.
Unlike previous recruitment cycles, this initiative remains exclusively available to male applicants, reflecting the agency’s strategic staffing decisions. Selected candidates will undergo rigorous evaluation processes scheduled for January 14th at the Santiago Governor’s Office, with proceedings commencing at 8:30 AM. The DGM has mandated in-person attendance for all assessment phases, underscoring the hands-on nature of immigration enforcement work.
This recruitment effort represents part of broader governmental measures to enhance border management capabilities amid increasing regional migration patterns. The northern region’s strategic importance as both a transit point and destination for migration flows has prompted authorities to allocate additional resources to immigration infrastructure and personnel.
