The Government of Dominica has acknowledged a decision by the United States to impose partial travel restrictions affecting Dominican nationals, effective January 1, 2026. The announcement was made by the White House on December 16. In a statement, the government said it understands the concern this may cause and is treating the matter with urgency. Officials are engaging the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados, to seek clarification on the scope and basis of the measures, and their implications for Dominican travelers, students, families, and other U.S. visa holders. The government says it will continue working closely with U.S. authorities to protect the interests of Dominican citizens and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
