Commonwealth of Dominica (Dominican) passports are issued to citizens of Dominica for international travel. The passport is a CARICOM passport as Dominica is a member of the Caribbean Community. The Dominican government began issuing biometric passports to its citizens on 19 July 2021, having spent $13 million upgrading its passport system to improve national security across its borders.[2][3]
As of 19 July 2022,[update] Dominican passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa on arrival access (including eTAs) to 145 countries and territories, ranking the Dominican passport 34th in the world in terms of travel freedom (tied with the Taiwanese passport) according to the Henley Passport Index.[4] Passport holders may travel to the Schengen Area with relative ease and without challenging visa requirements.[5]
