Hello beautiful people.
Please I need some help and guidance concerning planning my travel to the Dominican republic, I have an invitation for an event scheduled to hold there next year (2023)
My problems are,
1) Dominican republic doesn't have an embassy/consulate in Nigeria, how to I go about submitting the required documents and applying for a visa?

2) What are the general recommendations as regards flight booking, how do I avoid areas that require transit Visas like UK & US?

3) any word of caution and advice to make my visa application and travel smoother?

I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone who has recently traveled to Dominican republic with a Nigerian passport.

Every other general advice & recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

One love
Thanks.

Ok

I collected the visa twice wayback. I had to send my passport to UK. Not sure, if they still do the same process. Find their contact online,send a mail and their response will guide.

1. You need a visa.

2. You don't need transit visa. Just book your flight through Emirate. It will book UAE - Brazil - Santo Domingo. Very costly though.

3. They ain't strict and they will guide you on required documents.

4. Not sure where there embassy is now but as I said, UK was the last embassy I used to collect my visa.

I didn't go due to flight price but my hommie has been there for 8years. Married and doing fine.

Thanks so much for the feedback
There's just so little information on the internet about this and most popular travel agents I have contacted say they don't process Dominican republic visas
Quite a difficult situation I must say.
I sent an email to the ministry of tourism in Dominican republic, no response yet.
Maybe I'll try sending an email to the embassy at UK.

Then as regards the travel, won't the current Visa ban for Nigerians traveling UAE affect stopover? Or UAE generally doesn't require transit visa

On Emirates, you don't require transit visa

Will check my mail if I can still get their contact and requirements

What do you think about going through Turkish airlines

Getting a Turkish transit visa is relatively easy, the whole process is online

https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/

Lagos -> Istanbul -> Panama -> Dominican republic

Though, I recently stumbled on a thread where someone was advising Nigerian travelers to avoid transit through Panama, I really can't say on what circumstance

I don't know much about that Panama route.
