Visa types needed for Dominica

Dominica ED Card
Dominica Visa*

Dominica ED Card

The Dominica ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) is the country’s mandatory online immigration and customs declaration that replaces the old paper arrival/departure form. Every traveler, whether visa-free or visa-required, must complete it before arriving in Dominica so immigration and customs have your travel, personal, and declaration details in advance.

You fill it out online. After submitting, you receive a confirmation and QR code. Save it on your phone or print it, because you may need to show it with your passport on arrival (and sometimes again on departure).

Dominica Visa*

You need a visitor (tourist) visa only if your nationality is not on Dominica’s visa-exempt list.

Dominica’s official immigration guidance lists these standard documents for a visitor visa application:

Completed visa application form
Valid passport (with adequate validity remaining)
Two recent passport-size photos
Sponsor/inviter bank statement (if someone in Dominica is inviting you)
Medical certificate/report (issued within the last 6 months; requested for many applicants)
Depending on your case and where you apply, you may also be asked for:
Letter of invitation and host contact details
Recent police clearance (often within 3 months)
Your own bank statements / proof of funds
Employment letter or proof of self-employment
All non-English documents should be certified translations if required

Applications are handled through Dominica’s Immigration Division / overseas missions.

Important: Even with a visa, you must complete Dominica’s digital ED Card before travel.

*We currently don't offer the Dominica visa, but can help travelers get the ED Card with a simplified online process.

Dominica visa policy

Most travelers to Dominica can enter visa-free for tourism or short business stays. Citizens of the UK, US, Canada, many EU countries, Commonwealth nations, and CARICOM states generally don’t need a visa and may be granted stays from about 3 months up to 6 months on arrival. If your nationality is not in a visa-exempt group, you must obtain a visitor visa before traveling through a Dominican embassy/consulate or the Immigration Division.

Even if you are visa-free, standard entry conditions apply at the border: a valid passport, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation or local address, and evidence you can fund your stay. Stay extensions are possible in-country through the Immigration Division.

All travelers to Dominica must complete the free online ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) before arrival. You fill it out online and receive a confirmation/QR code to show on arrival (and often again on departure).

FAQs

Do I need a visa to visit Dominica?

Many travelers don’t. Citizens of the UK, US, Canada, most EU countries, Commonwealth nations, and CARICOM states are generally visa-exempt for tourism or short business visits.

If your nationality is not visa-exempt, you must obtain a visitor visa before traveling through a Dominican embassy/consulate or the Immigration Division.

Important: All travelers must still fill out the Dominica ED Card, this is a separate requirement.

How long can I stay in Dominica without a visa?

Visa-free stay length depends on your passport. Many exempt visitors are typically granted around 3 to 6 months on arrival, but the exact length is decided by the immigration officer at entry and can be shorter or longer within your exemption rules. Extensions may be possible in-country through immigration.

What documents do I need to enter Dominica visa-free?

Bring a valid passport, a return/onward ticket, proof of where you’ll stay (hotel booking or local address), and evidence you can support yourself financially during the trip. Immigration may ask to see any of these before stamping you in.

What is the Dominica ED Card and is it required?

The online ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) is Dominica’s digital immigration and customs form. It is mandatory for all travelers, both visa-free and visa-required - and must be completed before arrival.

When should I submit the Dominica ED Card?

Submit it any time before you travel. After submitting, you’ll get a confirmation/QR code - save it on your phone or print it to show on arrival (and often again on departure).

What happens if I don’t complete the Dominica ED Card before flying?

You may be delayed at check-in, boarding, or arrival because airlines and border officers can require the confirmation before letting you proceed.

If you forget, you’ll likely need to complete it online or in-person at the airport. Doing it in advance is strongly recommended to avoid queues and delays.

Do children and infants need an ED Card too?

Yes. Every traveler, including children and infants, must have an ED Card completed in their name.

Can I be refused entry even if I’m visa-free?

Yes. Visa-free status allows you to travel without a pre-arranged visa, but entry is still at immigration’s discretion. If you can’t show an onward ticket, funds, accommodation, or a clear reason for travel, you could be denied entry.

Is Dominica the same as the Dominican Republic?

No, these are different countries with different entry rules. Dominica is a smaller island nation in the Eastern Caribbean. Make sure your documents and ED Card are for Dominica (DMA), not the Dominican Republic.
