Venezuelan diaspora in Dominican Republic backs restoring bilateral relations

Venezuelans living in the Dominican Republic have expressed strong support for the reactivation of diplomatic ties between their home country and the Caribbean nation. This diaspora community sees the potential normalization of relations as a vital step for their families.

Through social media, many Venezuelans highlighted the practical benefits of reopening consular offices. They emphasized that renewed diplomatic engagement would enable them to obtain Venezuelan passports for their children. These children were born in the Dominican Republic and currently lack official documentation from Venezuela.

The ability to secure these documents is crucial for the legal status and integration of these binational families. The reactivation of relations is viewed as a pathway to resolving bureaucratic hurdles and ensuring Venezuelan citizens and their children born abroad have proper identification.
