Aevamo’s reading
Art. 28 creates the operative obligation — every foreigner entering the Dominican Republic must hold a visa except nationals of visa-dispensa-agreement countries or countries authorised by the Executive to enter with a tourist card — Art. 31 mandates MIREX to publish the country lists, and Art. 81(a) fixes the 60-day maximum tourist stay. It is the instrument that imposes the requirement; the MIREX list implements it.
The intro sentence imposes the general visa requirement (obtained at a Dominican consulate), and the category-D heading plus entries enumerate the issuers to whom that requirement applies.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
