Dominican Republic visa requirements for American citizens

US citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit the Dominican Republic for tourism, as the country offers visa-free entry for short stays. US 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.

iVisa offers one entry document for US travelers:

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.

General Dominican Republic entry requirements for US travelers are:
A United States passport valid for the duration of the stay (6+ months validity recommended)
Completed Dominican Republic eTicket (entry and exit) with QR code
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket (may be requested)
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay
