Santo Domingo.- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) announced that the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in Caracas, Venezuela, resumed operations on Thursday, October 1, restoring consular services for Dominican citizens and foreign nationals.

The consulate is now providing services including passport applications, travel documents, powers of attorney, travel authorizations, registration of Dominicans, marriage procedures, and assistance and protection for Dominican citizens. Fees for the services remain unchanged.
