BiggerJCE relocates Immigration Department to John F. Kennedy Avenue building
Santo Domingo.- In a recent announcement shared on the Junta Central Electoral (JCE) Instagram account, the Immigration Department has been relocated. Commencing this Monday, February 5th, the department will establish a permanent operational base at the junction of Buenaventura Freites Street and John F. Kennedy Avenue. The strategic location is at the entrance of Los Jardines, directly opposite Teleantillas.
The primary objective of this relocation is to enhance accessibility and convenience for citizens requiring services from the Immigration Department. The deliberate choice of a central and easily reachable location underscores the department’s commitment to delivering efficient and accessible services to the public.
Residents and individuals seeking assistance or services from the department are encouraged to visit the specified address. The decision to establish a permanent presence at this location aligns with the department’s dedication to enhancing public service and ensuring a more convenient experience for the community.
We were there on Tuesday. Interestingly, the taxi’s find the hardest route to get there from DGM and at a rate of $600 DOP. After you get there and conduct business, there are no taxis to get you anywhere else. The security personnel at the door inside JCE indicated that you have to use UBER. And of course, the machine that prints the cedulas was under repair by their crack IT guy who was very good at changing cables and rebooting. Between this change and the trek clear across Santo Domingo to the ‘New’ clinic for the medical part of the migration process, one could spit nails.
