Visa types needed for Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic eTicket
Dominican Republic Tourist Visa*
Dominican Republic Business Visa*

Dominican Republic eTicket

The Dominican Republic eTicket is a mandatory digital form required for both entry and exit in the Dominican Republic. It consolidates your Traveler’s Health Affidavit, Customs Declaration, and International Embarkation/Disembarkation into a single QR-coded document. It does not replace a visa when one is required.

The eTicket is not valid for work, study, or residency purposes. It is issued for a single trip only, and travelers must submit a new eTicket for every visit to the Dominican Republic.

To apply for the eTicket, you’ll need:

A valid passport (at least 6 months’ validity and one blank page)
Confirmed flight information (arrival and departure) plus where you’re staying in the DR
Basic personal information
Health data: recent travel, symptoms, vaccination status
Customs information: goods, cash amounts, etc.
Email address: that’s where your QR code will be sent

Dominican Republic Tourist Visa*

The Dominican Republic tourist visa is intended for leisure travel, cultural experiences, and short-term participation in events such as conferences or festivals.

It is valid for 60 days from the date of issue and can be issued for either single or multiple entries. Travelers can extend their stay through the Migration Department, with additional fees applying after the first 30 days.

It is important to note that many nationalities are exempt from this visa requirement or may qualify for entry with an approved eTicket if they already hold valid US, Canadian, Schengen, or UK visas.

*Applications must be submitted in advance at a Dominican embassy or consulate.

Dominican Republic Business Visa*

The Dominican Republic business visa is designed for individuals traveling for professional purposes such as meetings, negotiations, investment exploration, or conferences, provided they do not engage in local employment.

The visa can be issued for 60 days as a single-entry or up to one year for multiple-entry, with each visit limited to 60 days. Extensions may be granted through the Migration Department on a case-by-case basis.

Applicants must apply through a Dominican embassy or consulate before traveling and provide a formal invitation or business justification.

*While this visa type is not currently available through iVisa, travelers can obtain complete details directly from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

Dominican Republic visa policy

The Dominican Republic structures its visa policy by nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. Many visitors are visa-exempt, while others must apply in advance through a Dominican consulate.

Nationals of over 100 countries may enter visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business, provided they meet entry conditions. A mandatory $10 tourist fee is usually included in airfare; those arriving by land or sea may pay on arrival.

Non-exempt travelers must obtain a visa from a Dominican embassy or consulate, with categories covering tourism, business, study, work, residence, or diplomatic purposes.

All travelers, regardless of nationality, must complete the mandatory digital eTicket before arrival and departure. This form merges health, customs, and travel details into a QR code required by airlines and immigration officers. It does not replace a visa when one is required.

Because visa rules are updated regularly, travelers should confirm the latest requirements with a Dominican embassy or consulate before traveling.
