Ask the Consul is a collection of
articles prepared by the Consular Section that cover a
variety of subjects of interest for those who want to
visit or live in the United States and for U. S.
citizens in the Dominican Republic.
If you have a general consular question, please
send it to us by e-mail. Then check this page
every week; we select one question per week and post the
answer in the below space. The same questions and
answers are also published in the Zona de
Contacto section of Listín Diario every Monday.
Or you can listen to the radio (106.5 FM in Santo
Domingo, 92.1 FM or 1010 AM in Santiago, 94.7 FM in La
Romana, and 88.5 FM in Samana) to hear the questions
and answers on the radio. The
articles from previous years are accessible via the links
on the left side of this page.
Important Note: Other than the questions we
select to answer in Listín Diario, we DO NOT
respond to questions sent to Ask the Consul. Please
contact the American Citizens Services Unit, the
Immigrant Visa Unit or the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit
directly (using the links on the left) and follow the
instructions on that unit’s web page in order to ask a
question.
