Frequently asked questions about the Dominica ED Card

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.

Can I group my family onto a single Dominica ED Card?

No. Every individual traveler needs their own entry record. However, the head of a family traveling together can fill out a single joint Customs Declaration section on the portal for their spouse and any minor children under 18.

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.

What happens if I make a mistake on my submitted Dominica ED Card?

If you spot an error after submission, you can't edit the finalized form directly. You must submit a completely new form. Immigration officers will verify the most recent submission linked to your passport upon arrival.

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.

How long does the Dominica ED Card processing take?

The Dominica ED Card is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you can get your Dominica ED Card in as little as 30 minutes (depending on your application and chosen delivery speed). We recommend applying at least 2 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays. The government recommends completing the form at any time prior to travel, ideally within 3 days of departure to ensure your arrival details are perfectly accurate.

What happens if my Dominica ED Card application is denied?

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reason for denial is providing incorrect details. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your application before submission to prevent these issues.
