Who it's for
The eTicket is a mandatory entry and exit requirement for all travelers, regardless of whether they require a visa, hold a residency card, or are Dominican citizens.
What it is
The eTicket is a combined immigration, customs, and health declaration. It is a travel authorization, not a visa — if your nationality requires a tourist visa to enter the Dominican Republic, you must apply for that separately.
Entries
The eTicket is for single entry only. A new registration must be submitted every time you enter or exit the Dominican Republic.
Delivery format
Once your form is processed, you receive a confirmation email containing a QR code. Save it on your smartphone or print it — you scan it both at check-in with your airline and at the immigration desk on arrival.
When to apply
The form can be completed up to 72 hours before your flight. With iVisa, you can submit your details at any time and we hold your application to submit it at the optimal window for your travel dates.

Dominican Republic visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Dominican Republic visas.

Still have questions?

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

Do I need a Dominican Republic eTicket even if I don't need a visa?

Yes. The eTicket is a mandatory entry and exit requirement for all travelers, regardless of whether they require a visa, hold a residency card, or are Dominican citizens. The eTicket is free. If you need help filling it out, want to skip government glitches, or want to benefit from an extra review to avoid errors, iVisa can assist for an additional fee.

Does the eTicket replace a visa or is it the same as a visa?

No. The eTicket is a travel authorization and customs declaration. It does not replace a visa. If your nationality requires a tourist visa to enter the Dominican Republic, you must apply for that separately - so you'll need both documents to enter the country.

How will I receive the Dominican Republic eTicket?

Once your form is processed, you will receive a confirmation email containing a QR code. You should save this code on your smartphone or print it out. You will need to scan this code both at check-in with your airline and at the immigration desk upon arrival. You can also find your confirmation and QR code in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

Do I need an eTicket to leave the Dominican Republic?

Yes. The Dominican Republic requires an eTicket for both entry and exit. When you are ready to fly home, you must generate a new eTicket for your departure. If you apply through iVisa, we can assist you with both forms to ensure a smooth round trip.

When should I apply for the Dominican Republic eTicket?

The form can be completed up to 72 hours before your flight. However, with iVisa, you can submit your details at any time; we will hold your application and submit it at the optimal window to ensure the QR code is valid for your specific travel dates.

Do children/minors need a Dominican Republic eTicket?

Yes, every traveler must have an eTicket. However, for families or groups traveling together, you can complete a single application form that includes all members of the household. iVisa's "Add another person" feature makes this process simple for families.

Can I reuse my Dominican Republic eTicket?

No. The eTicket is for single entry only. A new registration must be submitted every time you enter or exit the Dominican Republic.
