Dominican Authorities Bar Haitian Businessman Dimitri Vorbe from Entering the Country

The Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Interior and Police has officially denied reports suggesting that Haitian businessman Dimitri Édouard Vorbe would be deported to the neighboring country. In a statement released by the institution, authorities clarified that Vorbe will not be allowed to enter Dominican territory.

According to the Ministry of Interior and Police, Dimitri Vorbe has been subject to an entry ban since October 13, 2025. The measure was reportedly issued following a notification from the National Intelligence Directorate and enforced by the General Directorate of Migration.The clarification comes amid widespread reports circulating on social media and in several media outlets claiming that the Haitian businessman could be transferred or deported to the Dominican Republic.

Dominican authorities, however, stressed that no authorization has been granted for his admission into the country due to the immigration restriction already in effect against him.

The case has generated significant discussion in both political and business circles in Haiti, where Dimitri Vorbe remains a well-known figure in the private sector. Dominican officials have not publicly disclosed the specific reasons behind the entry prohibition.

This latest development comes at a time of heightened migration and security measures between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as tensions surrounding border control and regional stability continue to intensify.
