El perfil migratorio de la República Dominicana es mixto: a la vez un país de origen de migrantes hacia Estados Unidos, Europa y otros destinos; y un país de destino para migrantes y refugiados de otras nacionalidades. Si bien las personas de origen haitiano continúan siendo el contingente más representado en la República Dominicana, en los últimos años ha habido un incremento importante del número de personas venezolanas en el país, según han señalado los informes de la plataforma R4V (Respuesta para Venezolanos: www.r4v.com) así como la última Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes ONE-UNFPA de 2017.

During the past week, partners monitored an increase in the number of spontaneous returns of Venezuelans from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Having lost (often informal) employment as a result of the COVID-19-related movement restrictions, many are now unable to afford accommodation, food and other basic needs. Unable to comply with the quarantine measures and social distancing, an increasing number of Venezuelans is left with no alternative but to consider returning to Venezuela. R4V partners have expressed concern about continued movements, including returns to Venezuela, also because of the risk of an increased spread of COVID-19, and increased exposure of refugees and migrants to exploitation and abuse by smugglers and traffickers.
The twin-island State, Trinidad and Tobago, is situated 12 km (7 miles) northeast of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (henceforth referred to as Venezuela) and this close geographic proximity has historically enabled migratory movements. Nevertheless, the sheer magnitude of current flowsfrom Venezuela into Trinidad and Tobago, is unparalleled.
The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) was launched in July 2019 by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to maintain periodic monitoring of migrants, as it relates to their profiles, characteristics and socio-economic status. Data gathered through this process informs the locations, evolving needs and vulnerabilities of migrant populations. In total, 2,166 Venezuelan migrants were interviewed mainly in the western areas of both Trinidad and Tobago.
The UNHCR Trinidad and Tobago Operation has responded by implementing several measures aimed at ensuring protection for persons of concern during this pandemic while minimizing the impact on operations.
