Albanian ordinary passports: advance Dominican tourist visa baseline
DGII directly names Albania among tourists who cannot enter with a Tourist Card and must obtain a visa at a Dominican mission. MIREX's contrary result invokes only the qualifying-document Decree 691-07 exception.
- Applies to an ordinary Albanian passport holder who does not hold the qualifying third-country residence or multiple-entry visa document specified in Decree 691-07.
- DGII requires a tourist from Albania to obtain a visa at a Dominican diplomatic mission. MIREX states the consular service response time is 10 to 20 business days, so this is an advance visa rather than electronic or arrival issuance.
- Decree 691-07 permits tourist entry with a valid passport and Tourist Card only for a traveller with permanent residence or a valid multiple-entry visa for the United States, Schengen/EU area, Canada or the United Kingdom; that conditional exception is not this baseline.
- Work, study, residence, business, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, border-card, special-document, security-screening and final-admission treatment remain outside this finding.
