Where to go?

The Honorary Embassy or Consulate of Dominican Republic is the place you should go to with all your documents in order to apply for your visa. But we regret to inform you that as at the time of writing this article, there is no sort of representative for Dominican Republic in Nigeria.

Anywhere you find an agent representative, you have to be careful if you have to have any dealings with them because they could be fake.
