Dominican Republic visa requirements for Canadian citizens
Canadian citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit the Dominican Republic for tourism, as the country offers visa-free entry for short stays. Canadian travelers are typically granted up to 30 days on arrival, with paid extensions possible through Dominican immigration authorities (up to 120 days total). However, all travelers must complete the mandatory Dominican Republic digital eTicket before travel. This is required for both entry and exit and replaces old paper arrival, customs, and health forms.
Dominican Republic eTicket: A mandatory digital entry and exit form that collects immigration, customs, and health information. It generates a QR code that travelers must present to airlines and immigration officials.

Dominican Republic eTicketArrival card
- 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.

Wendy was helpful and was able to help me. She was patient and kind to an old lady.
All good applyed 3 weeks ago roughly. Said they would give answer on 14 December. Got approved today Dec 14.
The ease of the process outweighs the cost. Not to mention the confidence in the product.
Thank you for making the application quick and simple to complete. Looking forward to my upcoming trip
Really easy and fast service for my iVisa for an over thirty day stay to the Dominican Republic. I didn't realize I needed to apply for the visa until 48hours before my flight to see my Wife and 2 boys in Santo Domingo. The process was clear [be sure to have your information ready and available] and laid out in easy to read sections. Fill out your information, send your application... it was to myself in about 3½ hours... Great experience with this.. Hoping the same for my return flight 🙏🏾✈️
it was very nice. it was easy to do just not very easy to get all the passengers on the same report
A friend told me we needs this. The only way I knee
Was easy but my ticket didn’t explain the same way the question you asked. I add to guess some answers. Like the plane number and airport landing… but I know now thank you
Quick, easy and in English. better than going on DR website where everything is in Spanish.
The forms take a bit of time to fill out, don’t rush and review all your answers. It’s just a review of who you are.
