Dominican Republic Travel Advisory Updated

The U.S. Department of State today reissued its Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution for the Dominican Republic, which is located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean region.

On June 6, 2023, the State Department confirmed civil unrest and health issues remain a concern for visitors.

The development of a professional tourist police corps, the institution of a 911 system in many parts of the country, and a concentration of resources in resort areas mean these tend to be better policed than urban areas like Santo Domingo.

From a health perspective, Dengue is a risk in many parts of the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic.

Furthermore, check your vaccines and medicines and visit a healthcare provider at least a month before your trip to get what you need while traveling, says the U.S. CDC.
