• The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online (www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa after they fill in the necessary information concerning their identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

• Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or Consulates.
• The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in Türkiye.

Why Dominica passport holders are no longer eligible for the Turkey e-visa

The Dominica passport is recognized as one of the powerful passports that enable its holders to travel to a vast number of sought-after destinations around the world, either visa-free or with a visa upon arrival. Turkey has long been one of those prominent destinations where Dominica passport holders could easily obtain a visa upon arrival. As a more convenient alternative to avoid possible crowds and waiting times at Turkish airports for completing the procedures to obtain a Turkish visa upon arrival, some citizens of Dominica were applying online for the Turkish electronic visa (e-Visa), which could be applied for and received quickly and effortlessly. However, recent changes have made these options unavailable for travelers to Turkey with a Dominica passport. Initially, there were reports that some of these travelers were not allowed to enter Turkey and were sent back, being asked to apply for a Turkish sticker visa instead. It was eventually confirmed that Dominica is no longer among the nationalities eligible to obtain a Turkish e-Visa, nor are they eligible for a visa on arrival.

Through this article, we will provide an overview of how this change in visa policy unfolded and the stages it went through, from the initial ambiguity and lack of clear vision at first to the final and definitive confirmation that citizens of Dominica are no longer eligible to obtain a Turkish visa upon arrival or to apply for a Turkish e-Visa. In conclusion, we will discuss the impact of this change on the strength of the Dominica passport.

Traveling to Turkey with a Dominica passport

If you are a citizen of Dominica and have traveled to Turkey for business purposes or for a tourist vacation in the past few months, then you are undoubtedly aware of how easy it was to travel to Turkey with a Dominica passport. All you had to do was book a plane ticket and apply online for the Turkish e-Visa through a very simple three-step process: filling out an application that takes only a few minutes, then paying the fees electronically using a credit or debit card or other online payment methods, and finally receiving the Turkey e-visa via your email in record time, usually on the same day of submitting the application. Or if you were in a hurry and decided to travel suddenly without prior planning, you would still be able to obtain a visa upon arrival. This essentially meant that Turkey was generally considered one of the  visa-free travel destinations for Dominica passport holders .

However, if you plan to travel to Turkey in the coming days, things are no longer as smooth, as citizens of Dominica can no longer obtain a Turkish e-Visa or a visa upon arrival. Instead, these travelers now need to apply in advance for a regular Turkish visa before traveling. This sticker visa process may take several days and typically requires the applicant’s personal attendance at one of the Turkish embassies, consulates, or visa centers. So, how and why did this sudden change occur, and how did the conflicting information provided by reliable travel information sources initially lead to a state of unclear vision among many travelers? Let’s closely examine the information previously provided by these sources regarding this change in visa policy and delve into the various stages it has undergone.

• The Turkish e-Visa Official Portal : Many applicants who regularly used the electronic portal for Turkish e-Visa were initially surprised to encounter a message when they selected Dominica nationality. This message informed them that the country they had selected was not eligible for applying for the electronic visa. They were advised to contact the nearest Turkish mission to apply for a visa to enter Turkey. This result began to appear to applicants suddenly without prior announcement or disclosure of reasons, leading many to speculate that it was just a temporary technical error. Regardless of the reason, this prevented holders of Dominica passports from obtaining a Turkish e-Visa. Consequently, they were faced with two options: either to travel directly to obtain the visa upon arrival as usual or to apply for a regular Turkish visa. However, this naturally became a cause for concern for travelers, some of whom attempted to contact the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for verification. The responses they received indicated that holders of Dominica passports were no longer eligible for the electronic visa or visa upon arrival.
• Airlines and Travel Agencies:  In cases where the situation is not sufficiently clear, airlines and travel agencies take precautions and warn travelers about the consequences of traveling. In such cases, airlines often do not allow passengers to board flights, and some may allow passengers to board flights at their own risk, especially in this situation where the circumstances were entirely unclear. However, it was later confirmed by some airlines that some of these passengers were returned and informed of the necessity to obtain a regular Turkish visa before traveling.
• The International Air Transport Association (IATA):  It is the official umbrella organization that includes all international airlines, totaling around 290 airlines worldwide. It relies on a database used by almost all airlines, which includes information collected from over 1,000 official sources worldwide. Therefore, it is considered the most accurate and reliable source regarding international travel requirements and visa policies. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) issues a monthly publication called the “Travel Information Manual,” which includes travel requirements for all countries worldwide, including visa requirements, health regulations, customs, and more. According to the February 2024 edition of the Travel Information Manual issued by IATA, citizens of Dominica could obtain a visa upon arrival in Turkey for a maximum stay of 90 days. However, the March 2024 edition of the same publication (issued a few days before the beginning of the month) contains an important update, stating that Dominica is no longer among the eligible nationalities for obtaining a visa to Turkey upon arrival.

It is evident from the information provided that there has been a change in Turkey’s visa policy. Consequently, Turkey is no longer among the destinations that holders of Dominica passports can travel to without a prior visa or obtain a visa upon arrival. Additionally, the option to apply for a Turkish e-Visa is no longer available. The sole available option for traveling to Turkey with a Dominica passport is to apply through the nearest Turkish representation or visa center to obtain a regular Turkish sticker visa. No one knows exactly the reason for this shift or why it was not announced publicly. However, it is noteworthy that this occurred almost simultaneously with holders of Haitian passports finding themselves also in need of a regular visa to travel to Turkey after being eligible for visa upon arrival and electronic visa.

The Impact on the Ranking of the Dominica Passport

While Dominica passport holders now require a visa to travel to Turkey, it’s worth noting that the process of obtaining a regular Turkish visa is relatively straightforward and doesn’t involve significant complexities, unlike visa applications for other prominent destinations like the United States or Canada, for example. Additionally, applying with the strong Dominica passport generally enhances the applicant’s chances of approval compared to passports from lower-ranked countries.

On the other hand, despite this change in visa policy, it seems to have minimal impact on the  Dominica passport’s ranking , currently ranked 34th on the Guide Passport Index. Dominica passport holders still enjoy visa-free access to 141 countries and territories, including renowned tourist and business hubs such as France, Germany, Spain, Greece, other Schengen countries, as well as China, Singapore, South Korea, and others, underscoring the resilience of this Caribbean passport.

• Follow local authorities instructions, police may take action to disperse the group, including possibly using teargas or detaining participants, even when the government has approved gatherings.

Crime:  Overall street crime in Turkey is low; however, you should use the same precautions you would take in the United States. The following types of crime have been reported in Turkey:

• Pick-pocketing ,  purse snatching , and  mugging.  Carry only necessary items when in tourist areas. 
• Residential crime  occurs more often in major cities, with criminals targeting ground floor apartments for theft.
• Sexual assault  has occurred in Turkish baths ( hamams ) or spas, in taxis, and when traveling alone at night. Assaults involving  date rape drugs  have also been reported.
• Confidence schemes  occur where travelers are tricked into ordering food or drinks at a restaurant, and then are charged incredibly high prices. Patronize well-established restaurants and ask to see a menu with prices before ordering anything.
• Scams  are common in Turkey, particularly internet scams involving people who met online. Typically, the person in Turkey asks the other person to wire large sums of money to provide financial assistance.  Do not send money to someone you have never met in person.  Exercise due diligence when purchasing jewelry, rugs, or real estate. See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information on scams.

Eastern and Southeastern Turkey: We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens reconsider travel to specific areas in eastern and southeastern Turkey, and do not travel to areas near the Syrian or Iraqi borders.

U.S. Government employees are subject to travel restrictions  to the provinces of Batman, Bingol, Bitlis, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hakkari, Hatay, Kilis, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Siirt, Sirnak, Tunceli and Van.  Mount Ararat , in Agri province, is a special military zone, and  access permission must be obtained before coming to Turkey  from a Turkish Embassy or Consulate.

The following incidents and activities have taken place in eastern and   southeastern Turkey :

• Terrorist attacks:  Terrorist groups, including Da’esh, also referred to as The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or The Islamic State of Iraq and ash Sham (ISIS), and the PKK (the Kurdistan Workers’ Party), have conducted large-scale attacks in the area, including suicide bombings, ambushes, and the detonation of car bombs, improvised explosive devices, and other homemade weapons. The PKK has attacked Turkish military and police personnel in the eastern and southeastern provinces, occasionally harming bystanders.
• Restricted access:  Turkish security forces control access to the southeastern provinces of Hakkari, Mardin and Sirnak along the Iraqi border, and the entire Turkey-Syria border.  Do not photograph or video Turkish military operations or attempt to enter military installations anywhere in Turkey.
• Shootings:  Turkish towns located along the border with Syria have been struck by bullets and artillery rounds that originate in Syria, some resulting in deaths or injuries.
• Roadblocks:  Use commercial air travel whenever possible while traveling to southeastern Turkey.  If road travel is necessary, drive only during daylight hours and on major highways.  The Turkish  Jandarma  (rural police) monitors checkpoints on roads. Cooperate if stopped at a checkpoint. Be prepared to provide identification and vehicle registration. Remain calm, do not make any sudden movements, and obey all instructions.  We strongly discourage the use of public transportation in the southeastern region.
• Demonstrations:  Violent clashes have taken place between Kurdish groups and Turkish police resulting from organized demonstrations.
• Curfews:  The Turkish Government has instituted temporary curfews in cities throughout the southeast due to blockades of certain neighborhoods by the PKK. Adhere to any locally imposed curfews.

Victims of Crime:  Report crimes to the local police by dialing 155 and contact the U.S. Embassy or nearest consulate. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime. See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas . We urge U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault to contact the U.S. Embassy or closest consulate.

 We can:

• help you find appropriate medical care
• assist you in reporting a crime to the police
• contact relatives or friends with your written consent
• Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion.
• provide a list of local attorneys
• provide our information on  victim’s compensation programs in the U.S.
• provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution
• help you find resources for accommodation and flights home
• replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence:  U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence may contact the Embassy for assistance and visit the  Embassy webpage  for resources.

Tourism:  The tourism industry is generally regulated and rules with regard to best practices and safety inspections are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.

• Always carry with you a form of official government photo identification, such as a residence permit or copy of your passport.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately.  Turkish authorities may not inform U.S. officials of dual nationals arrested in Turkey.  See our  webpage  for further information on arrests.

• Insulting the State:  It is illegal to show disrespect to the name or image of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, or to insult the Turkish Government, flag, President, or security forces,  including on social media . Erase any sensitive photos, comments, or other materials from your social media pages, cameras, laptops, and other electronic devices that could be considered controversial or provocative.
• Drug offenses:  Turkish law enforcement is  very aggressive  in combating illegal drugs. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking of illegal drugs are very strict, and include heavy fines and jail sentences between four and 20 years.
• Cultural artifacts:  Turkish law has a broad definition of “antiquities” and makes it a crime to remove any from the country. If you buy antiquities, use authorized dealers and get museum certificates for each item. Failure to have a receipt and certificate at departure can result in  your arrest , and  jail time . Contact the  Embassy of the Republic of Turkey  in Washington for specific information regarding customs requirements.
• Male dual nationals over the age of 18 may be subject to Turkish conscription and compulsory military service. Consult officials at Turkish Embassies or Consulates with any questions before entering Turkey.
• Counterfeit goods:  Do not buy counterfeit or pirated goods, even if widely available. They are both illegal to bring back into the United States and to purchase locally.

• Human Rights Report  – see country reports
• Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTI Travelers:  Homophobia, transphobia, and intolerance towards homosexuality are widespread throughout Turkey. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals are  not protected by anti-discrimination laws  and have been the targets of violence in recent years. References in the law relating to “offenses against public morality,” “protection of the family,” and “unnatural sexual behavior,” are sometimes used as a basis for abuse by law enforcement officials. In addition, the law states that “no association may be founded for purposes against law and morality,” a clause which has been used by authorities in attempts to shut down or limit the activities of associations working on LGBTI matters.

See   our  LGBTI Travel Information   page and section 6 of our Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance:   The Turkish constitution prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in the provision of state services, employment, education and access to health care. However, access to buildings and public transportation for the disabled in most cities is quite limited, and generally, accessibility for people with disabilities in Turkey is poor. Airports and metro stations are typically accessible, but other forms of public transport (buses) are not.

Students:  See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  The Embassy is aware of multiple sexual assaults against U.S. citizens in Turkey, including assaults against tourists traveling alone or in small groups, and at spas and  hamams.

• If you are sexually assaulted, please seek immediate help from the Turkish National Police, Turkish Health Services, or nearest hospital if you feel safe doing so.
• We urge you to contact the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for assistance.

See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

Earthquakes:  Earthquakes occur throughout Turkey. Make contingency plans and leave emergency contact information with family members outside Turkey. General information about natural disaster preparedness is available from the  U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)  and at  Ready.gov. For more information on disaster preparedness, please click on the following links:

• U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
• FEMA: Earthquakes
• FEMA for Kids: Emergency Preparedness
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Earthquake Preparedness

Medical care provided in Turkish hospitals varies greatly. Though new private hospitals in Ankara, Antalya, Izmir and Istanbul have modern facilities, equipment, numerous U.S.-trained specialists, and international accreditation, some still may be unable to treat certain serious conditions. Health care standards are lower in small cities in Turkey.

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance overseas.

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance   to cover medical evacuation.

If traveling with prescription medication, check with the government of Turkey to ensure the medication is legal in Turkey. Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging with your doctor’s prescription. Some medications may be unavailable in Turkey.

For U.S. citizens who live in Turkey , please see the Embassy’s website for  information on the Turkish General Health Insurance (GHI) law . If you are considering enrolling in Turkish GHI, carefully research what is and is not covered. Once you enroll in GHI, your coverage can only be cancelled if your residence permit expires or if you no longer reside in Turkey.

Vaccinations:  Be up-to-date on all  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC)

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:  Roads in Turkey range from single-lane country roads to modern, divided motorways. Highways in the tourist-frequented western, southwestern, and coastal regions of Turkey are generally in good condition and are well maintained, while conditions in other areas vary.

Be extremely cautious while driving at night.  Driving after dark, especially in rural areas, requires extra caution due to dangers such as livestock on the road or narrow unmarked or unpaved roads.

In case of an  accident  or  car trouble :

• Pull to the side of the road, turn on hazard lights, and use reflector triangles.
• For accidents with only vehicular damage, exchange insurance information, take photos of the accident before moving the vehicles, and depart if both sides agree. Turkish law requires drivers to fill out a Turkish-only form and provide pictures of the damage. Non-Turkish speakers should call and wait for the police.
• For accidents with injury  or a disagreement, remain at the site of the accident.  Do not move the vehicle  – even out of the way – until the Traffic Police arrive. Report the accident to the Traffic Police (dial 155) or Jandarma (dial 156). Get a certified copy of the official report from the Traffic Police office (this can take several days).
• The owner of the damaged vehicle should also apply to the customs authority with his passport and accident report before attempting to repair the vehicle or leave the country without the vehicle.
• When in doubt, it is best to call the Traffic Police or the Jandarma in the event of an accident.

Traffic Laws:  Drive defensively at all times. Drivers routinely ignore traffic regulations, including driving through red lights and stop signs, and turning left from the far right lane. These and other similar driving practices cause frequent traffic accidents.

• Penalties for  driving drunk  (blood alcohol levels at or above 0.05 percent) include a  fine  and the individual’s license being confiscated for  six months .
• Using cell phones while driving is  illegal  and can lead to a  fine .

Driver’s license requirements include:

• For stays up to 180 days : A valid U.S. driver’s license or an International Driving Permit and a U.S. driver’s license is acceptable.
• For stays longer than 180 days : Obtain a Turkish driver’s license from the Turkish Security Directorate, Traffic Department (Emniyet Müdürlüğü, Trafik Hizmetleri Başkanlığı).
• A vehicle can be brought into Turkey for up to six months. Find information at the Turkish Touring and Automobile Club.

Public Transportation:  Major cities in   Turkey have extensive public transportation options including taxis, subways, ferries, trains, buses and mini-buses. Licensed cabs are metered. Between cities, Turkey has bus routes, train, and air services.

See our  Road Safety page  for more information.

Aviation Safety Oversight:   The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Turkey’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Turkey’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel:  Mariners planning travel to Turkey should also check U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the NGA broadcast warnings website  - select “broadcast warnings”.

What are some places the Dominican Republic citizens can visit in Turkey?

If you are planning to visit Turkey from the Dominican Republic, you can check our list of places given below to get a better idea about Turkey:

Çesme Peninsula

Despite being a popular vacation spot for wealthy Turks, this peninsula on the Aegean coast is still mostly unknown to many foreign tourists.

The hub of the summer excitement is the village of Alaçat, where upscale cuisine and a vibrant café scene keep a stylish population occupied after a day of sunbathing.

The windsurfing scene on the beaches of the Çesme Peninsula first gained popularity, and the region is now Turkey's top windsurfing destination. However, however, beach slothing is what draws the majority of visitors.

Beaches range from Alaçat's Windsurfing Beach, where water sports are the focus, to exclusive beach club beaches, which host live music and other events during peak season, though often don't have much actual sand, to the long stretch of soft white sand at Ilica Beach on the seafront of Çesme Town. Local operators also offer windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons and equipment rental.

Anatolian Civilizations

Include Ankara on your itinerary for Turkey just for this museum. It is the only location in the nation where you can fully appreciate the breadth of pre-Classical Anatolian human history.

The first hall houses the most significant discoveries from the Neolithic village site of atalhöyük, close to Konya, including the famous fertility goddess statue and the wall mural that some researchers believe to be the world's first town map.

The Hittite Empire, which had its capital at Hattuşa (192 kilometres to the east), and the Phrygian and Urartian Empires, which flourished on the Anatolian steppe throughout the Iron Age, are both honoured in halls further down.

The most significant stone statues and reliefs from all times are on display at the Stone Hall in the centre.

Here, you can see a variety of exquisitely detailed orthostat reliefs from the Hittite site of Carchemish, which is 70 km southwest of Gaziantep and was well-known before it was actually discovered as the location of the Battle of Carchemish between Egypt and Babylonia that is described in the Old Testament.

The finest starting point for a day excursion to Gordion, the Iron Age Phrygian capital, is Ankara. It was here that Alexander the Great severed the Gordion knot and where the fabled King Midas once resided.

The remains of this Phrygian city are currently visible among the fields in the sleepy farming community of Yassihöyük (96 kilometres southwest of Ankara).

The village has two primary locations. The Midas Tumulus, a man-made earthen mound more than 50 metres high that houses a Phrygian king's burial, is the most well-known. Despite the name, there is no proof that the king interred here was the real Midas. Although the burial items discovered here are not on-site, but rather inside the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, you can access the tomb by means of a tunnel in the tumulus.

A tiny museum located across the street from the tumulus houses some artefacts discovered during the local archaeological dig.

The citadel mound, which is located at the opposite end of the settlement, is home to ruins from several different periods.

There are many information panels on the citadel mound that describe the location and Gordion's history, despite the fact that the layout of the ruin's many walls, arches, and foundations can be somewhat perplexing to non-experts.

Little Aya Sofya

Emperor Justinian constructed this miniature replica in order to check the structure of the edifice before he began construction on the Hagia Sofia (Aya Sofya).

The building was originally known as the Church of Sergius and Bacchus, but because of the Aya Sofya's striking architectural similarities, its long-standing nickname became the building's official name.

The chapel was transformed into a mosque during the Ottoman era, and it continues to be used as a mosque today.

Even though it doesn't have the magnificent proportions of some other buildings in Istanbul, this one has been tastefully renovated and is well worth a visit.

Walking here through the towering, narrow lanes dotted with Ottoman-era buildings, some magnificently renovated and others groaning their way into decay, is a peaceful escape from the city.

The stroll here offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of Sultanahmet, via winding lanes lined with magnificent buildings from the Ottoman era, some elaborately renovated and others groaning their way into decay.

To refuel for more touring, take some time to have a cup of tea in the tranquil garden of Little Aya Sofya.

Bosphorus Strait

For many tourists, a vacation to Istanbul wouldn't be complete without taking a cruise on the city's renowned waterway, the Bosphorus, which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara.

The Bosphorus excursion ferries are all about lounging back, resting, and soaking in the sights, and all of Istanbul's most famous vistas are from the water.

The Long Bosphorus Tour, which departs daily from the Eminönü ferry pier and travels all the way up the strait to the hamlet and fortification at Anadolu Kava, close to the northern mouth of the strait into the Black Sea, is the most well-known ferry trip.

The Long Bosphorus Tour requires a whole day of planning because it travels two hours one way, pauses in Anadolu Kava for three hours, and then returns.

From spring through fall, there is also the option of taking a two-hour afternoon sailing on the Short Bosphorus Tour. Before turning back, this return ferry trip travels up the Bosphorus to the Rumeli stronghold.

Iztuzu Beach

Iztuzu is a stretch of soft sand beach that stretches for just under five kilometres and is well known for both its sand and the loggerhead turtles that come here every year.

The fact that there is so much space is advantageous because this is a popular stop for day-trippers on boat trips from Marmaris and serves as the main beach for visitors vacationing in the nearby little town of Dalyan.

Iztuzu was spared from development because it is a protected nature site.

However, there are no hotels or other resort amenities close to the sand. Instead, there is a beach café serving up tasty food, plenty of sun loungers and sunshades for rent, and kayaks for rental. This creates a serene, vintage atmosphere on the beach.

In order to prevent straying into turtle nesting regions, beachgoers must also be aware of the beach's prohibited areas. Additionally, nobody is permitted on the sand after dusk.

U.S. warns tourists to ‘exercise increased caution’ in this popular destination due to rising crime

The U.S. State Department reissued its travel advisory for the Dominican Republic, telling tourists to “exercise increased caution” due to the country’s increasing level of crime.

The Level 2 advisory was reissued due to increased crime in the area, “including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault,” according to the State Department.

However, the advisory also noted that the country’s addition of tourist police and better 911-like system means that resort areas are likely to be patrolled more than big cities, such as Santo Domingo.

“The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale,” according to the updated advisory.

A Level 2 advisory does not mean travel should be avoided to the area. What it does mean is that you should take the following precautions before traveling to the Dominican Republic:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.
• Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
• Follow the advice of resort and tour operators regarding local safety and security concerns.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist .

Dominica will change the way you see the caribbean.

Dominica is a Caribbean island paradise for nature lovers.

Drop all your expectations about a Caribbean vacation. Dominica is an island unlike any other in the region. It’s a nature lover’s paradise for travelers seeking adventure, sustainability, untouched landscapes, and rainbows painting the sky almost every day—and that’s what makes it so special.

From its dense rainforests and dramatic volcanic scenery to its thriving marine life and secluded resorts committed to both sustainability and luxury, Dominica will show you a different side of the Caribbean. Here’s what to expect on a visit to the “Nature Island.”

See Dominica’s famous twin waterfalls

Trafalgar Falls in Dominica

No need to embark on a major hike in the Caribbean heat to see one of Dominica’s most famous attractions: Trafalgar Falls. A 10-minute walk along a well-maintained path brings you to a viewing platform where you can see famous twin waterfalls, ranging from 130 to 260 feet tall. It's a spectacular sight to see mist from “Mama Falls” and “Papa Falls” blanket the surrounding greenery. If you’re up for a longer trek, you can take a 20-minute hike up the trail that leads to the foot of the falls.

Float through a gorge

A secret waterfall within Titou Gorge

One of the best things to do in Dominica is float through Titou Gorge. Known for its crystal-clear emerald-green water, this swimming hole is tucked within a deep gorge formed by a bed of lava that cooled and split in half.

Guides here can hook you up with an inner tube then help you float through the impossibly narrow gap between two stone walls, where a secret waterfall awaits you. The postcard-worthy cascade makes an amazing spot to snap photos and relish the rush of standing beneath the rushing water. On your way back out, look up and marvel at the lush foliage that drapes the gorge, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

These Are The Likely Democratic Presidential Candidates If Biden Drops Out—As Rough Debate Prompts Calls To Stand Down

Take a hot spring bath in Dominica.

Looking for a place to warm up after swimming in Titou Gorge? Head to one of Dominica’s natural spas in Wotten Waven. This quaint village, located near Trafalgar Falls and Titou Gorge, features natural hot sulfur springs, where you can soothe sore muscles in steaming open-air pools nestled within green gardens. You can also indulge in a skin treatment in the mud pools. The mineral-rich mud will leave your skin soft and smooth.

Hike to Syndicate Falls

Syndicate Falls, Dominica

If you’re looking for an adventurous hike in Dominica, Syndicate Falls should be at the top of your list. Located at the base of Morne Diablotin, Dominica’s tallest mountain, Syndicate Falls is a hidden gem that’s as memorable to get to as it is to see up close.

The hike to the falls takes you through one of Dominica’s national parks and requires several river crossings, where you'll need to tightrope walk across cables strung just over the water—a thrilling yet manageable challenge that adds to the adventure. A pair of grippy water shoes (like these ones from Xero Shoes ) and a dose of confidence should be enough to get you through the 20-minute hike.

Don’t worry if you get splashed on your way to Syndicate Falls, though. You’ll get soaked when you wade into the refreshing water and feel the power of the glorious 100-foot-tall waterfall as it fills the swimming hole.

Taste one of the Caribbean’s only island-made gins

Sea Cliff Gin is distilled in Dominica.

Dominica seemed to offer everything expats Amber Oxley and Simon Morris were looking for when they moved to the island during the pandemic. It had breathtaking scenery, plenty of nature for their two sons to explore, and a community filled with kind people. But there was one thing they couldn’t find: Gin. (This is rum country, after all!)

So, they decided to start distilling their own on site at their eco-cottage property, using nine of the lush island’s botanicals, including bay leaf, cocoa, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Keeping with Dominica’s focus on sustainability, Sea Cliff Gin is powered by solar and sold in recycled bottles collected around the island.

Make an appointment for a gin tasting tour to sample the distinctively Caribbean-flavored spirit at the distillery. While there, you can also wander their garden, where you can touch, smell, and taste the plants and flowers used in the gin. Pro tip: Ask about Sea Cliff’s boozy frozen gin pops!

Support coral conservation on a dive

Conservationists fight coral disease while taking tourists on dives in Dominica.

Sperm whales might be the star attraction of Dominica’s marine life, but its pristine reefs are equally impressive. Whereas other reefs in the region have suffered from the detrimental stony coral tissue loss disease, those within Dominica’s deep bay have been largely spared thanks to the efforts of conservationists like those at Nature Island Dive . Their team tracks the health of reefs, propagates coral on artificial “trees” that can be replanted on reefs, and treats diseased coral with amoxicillin to help it heal.

They also integrate their coral disease management efforts with tourism. Book a diving or snorkeling trip with Nature Island Dive, and you might see their divemasters applying the antibiotics on the coral in real time. They always take syringes with them to make the most of their time under the sea. Diving with them is not only a fantastic way to explore Dominica’s underwater ecosystem, but it also supports the crucial efforts to preserve it.

Take a boat ride to a bush bar on the Indian River

A gentle boat ride on the Indian River in Dominica

Aquatic adventures aren’t only found in the ocean—in Dominica, they extend to the lush wetlands as well. On the Indian River Rowboat Experience with Cobra Tours , an experienced boatman will take you on a leisurely glide through a swampy riverbank, renowned for its flora and fauna. Your guide will point out giant ferns, freshwater hibiscus, towering termite nests, crabs, and birds. You can also take a brief detour to see the witch house from “Pirates of the Caribbean 2.”

Midway through your tour, you’ll stop at a hidden bush bar to sample punches made with local ingredients like gooseberry and cinnamon—the perfect tipple to enjoy before your relaxing ride back to shore at sunset.

Stay in Dominica’s secluded, sustainable resorts

One thing that sets Dominica apart from other popular Caribbean islands is its accommodations. Boutique resorts here marry luxury with sustainability and give guests a deep sense of place.

Secret Bay, Dominica

Case in point: Secret Bay . This six-star, all-villa resort perched on a serene cliff top overlooking the azure Caribbean Sea features 22 distinctive villas that offer a blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. The villas, which range from single bedroom to three-and-a-half bedrooms, were made with sustainably-sourced tropical hardwoods and constructed using LEED standards to reduce their environmental impact. More than eco-friendly, these villas are also equipped with high-end touches to take your stay to the next level, including private plunge pools, deep tubs, outdoor rainfall showers, and high-end kitchens (complete with espresso machines). Your personal villa host can take care of the cooking, cleaning, and arrange exclusive activities (like private beach picnics).

As comfortable as the villas themselves are, you won’t want to miss the other amenities scattered across Secret Bay’s 40-plus acres, including two restaurants, two on-site beaches, water sports hut, nature walks, lap pool, and the longest funicular in the Caribbean.

Coulibri Ridge

If you want an even more off-the-grid experience, head to the southern tip of the island to find another one of the best places to stay in Dominica: Coulibri Ridge . Built on a former aloe vera plantation, this luxurious eco-retreat is powered by more than 300 solar panels and constructed from recycled and sustainable materials. All the stonework you see around the property came from the land itself.

Coulibri Ridge features just 14 spacious studios and duplex suites. Each space is decked out with large windows to offer views of both the ocean and the Sulphur Spring Valley, along with an outdoor rain shower or private plunge pool. Dim lighting and comfy furniture make it easy to feel at home. Plus, the kitchen comes stocked with plenty of healthy snacks to keep you fueled between meals at the two on-site restaurants. For deep relaxation, book a treatment at the open-air spa that overlooks the sea. It offers incredible massages that will make you feel like you’re a world away from the stresses of modern life.
