Dominica visa requirements

Whether you need a visa for Dominica depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. All travelers, including many who enjoy visa-free entry for short stays, must obtain a Dominica ED Card (Electronic Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) before arriving by air or sea. It is a digital immigration and customs declaration linked to your passport, not a visa.

Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Dominica travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.

General Dominica visa requirements are:

Requirements verified against official government sources

  • Passport (valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date)
  • Travel details
  • Accommodation details in Dominica
  • Valid email address

Who it's for
The Dominica ED Card is required for all travelers entering Dominica, including nationalities (such as US, UK, Canadian, and Commonwealth citizens) who enjoy visa-free entry for short tourist stays. It is a mandatory immigration and customs declaration, not a substitute for a visa.
Permitted activities
The ED Card covers entry for tourism, visiting family and friends, business, and transit through the country.
Ports of entry
The ED Card is required for both air and sea entry. Cruise passengers on a day layover of less than 24 hours who return to the ship do not need to complete it.
When to apply
The ED Card must be submitted no more than three days before your arrival in Dominica, because the system requires real-time travel and customs data.
Delivery format
Once approved, you receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present alongside your passport at your port of entry, and keeping a digital backup on your phone.

  • Previously I had an extremely rough time getting good not even quality service. I missed three flights because I paid my money for 24 hours service, didn't receive a reply for 72 hours and no refund. Noticed 4 hours service and I thought I would try this since I was traveling on the second. You guys came through in flying colors Three hours after applying I received my certification. Thank you for expedited working.

  • This ivis.com questioner is totally unnecessary. For many it is more complicated to have this done on line than to simple full this same form on arrival. There could even be personals available on arrival to assist in the speedy completion of the questioner. Traveling in this pandemic is complicated and the introduction of this questioner on line is making matters worse. Secondly we do not have much arrivals at any one time that would make it so difficult. The questioner can also be summarized.

Dominica visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Dominica visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Is the Dominica ED Card a replacement for a visa?

No. The Dominica ED Card is a digital immigration and customs declaration, not a visa. While many nationalities (including US, UK, Canadian, and Commonwealth citizens) enjoy visa-free entry to Dominica for short tourist stays, you must still complete this mandatory card regardless of your visa exemption status.

When is the earliest I can submit the Dominica ED Card?

The ED Card must be submitted no more than three (3) days before your arrival in Dominica. You can't submit it earlier because the system requires real-time travel and customs data.

Do cruise ship passengers need to complete the Dominica ED Card?

If you're a cruise passenger visiting Dominica for a day layover lasting less than 24 hours and returning to the ship, you don't need to fill out the online ED Card. It's strictly mandatory for passengers arriving by air or ferry who clear immigration.

Do children/minors need their own Dominica ED Card?

Yes. There are no age exemptions for this registration; every traveler, including infants, must have their own individual ED Card and unique QR code. For minors, a parent or legal guardian must complete the online form on their behalf.

Do I need the Dominica ED Card to transit in Dominica?

If you're a transit passenger remaining in the airport's international transit area without clearing immigration, you don't need it. However, if you plan to leave the airport, clear immigration for a layover, or transit through the country via ferry, you must complete the digital ED Card before arrival.

How will I receive the Dominica ED Card?

Once your Dominica ED Card application is approved, you'll receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present alongside your passport to the Immigration and Customs authorities at your port of entry. You should also keep a digital backup on your phone.
