\"\"<\/a>Additional security measures are being established to avert the illegal acquiring of Dominican passports.<\/p>\n

Roy Pascal, Sergeant of police, who made the disclosure on the state owned radio Thursday, said the measures follow concerns by Britain about illegal entry of Dominican passport holders into the territory.<\/p>\n

Britain disclosed earlier this year it was considering the introduction of visa requirements for Dominica and St. Lucia because of what it described as a high level of immigration abuses among nationals of the two countries.<\/p>\n

Pascal said the measures being set up here, will \u201camong other things mitigate fraud and protect the integrity of our passport\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many security features already in our passport. It is machine readable and there are many security features, some are visible and others [are] not visible. Even among those that are visible, there are security features that are not visible among them, so it\u2019s a very secure document,\u201d Pascal expounded.<\/p>\n

He added that there are methods in place to control how the Dominican passport is obtained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Additional security measures are being established to avert the illegal acquiring of Dominican passports.
