South African Honorary Consulate in the Dominican Republic

South Africa has an honorary consulate in Santo Domingo; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

South Africa requires citizens of the Dominican Republic to hold a visa issued in advance. South Africa has no embassy or career consulate in the Dominican Republic, and its honorary consulates normally do not issue visas; applications go to a mission of South Africa accredited to the Dominican Republic from another country.

In return, the Dominican Republic has an embassy in South Africa, in Pretoria.
