The info I posted about needing a Visa is correct. My Dominican friend is there now and needed to get a Visa.

I too want correct info in this forum so I just called that number and her immediate responds was , no they don't need a visa. I said are you sure a Dominican citizen does not need a visa? Yes again.

So I said please read to me where you are getting this info from because we are talking about people from the DR that might not be able to buy a ticket and then be refused entry. It's important to me that I have the correct info. So she put me on hold and then asked if the person is flying from the US

NOOOOOOO, I said a Dominican citizen with no other visa flying from the Dominican Republic. HER Answer, oh yes they do need a visa

I got her name, It's Florico Forbes, so she said.

You gotta wonder what they pay these people for.

Thank you both for your diligent inquiries. The lady told me during my second attempt to obtain the right info. that she previously thought the dominican was travelling from the U.S.. She also said that a visa can be obtained in about a day.

Default Dominican citizen with Swiss permanent residency

In looking at Anna's list of countries a Domincan citizen can visit visa free if they hold Canadian permanent residency I notice that Switzerland is listed.

Does anyone know if the same is true for the opposite? Can a Dominican citizen holding Swiss permanent residency visit Canada visa-free?

I've tried the NWA Timatic website and can't seem to get an answer. Does anybody know?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, a DR citizen living in Switzerland (and not holding Swiss passport) DOES NEED visa to enter Canada.
