Travel to Spain became more expensive beginning this month. The cost of a visa to Spain jumped in price from RD$1,330 to RD$2,380 on 1 January. The Spanish Embassy did not explain the reasons for the 78% increase in visa fees. El Caribe reports that the increase may well be explained by the large numbers of Dominicans seeking the highly treasured stamp in their passports.
