Dominican Republic e-Ticket Information
The Dominican Republic e-Ticket is an electronic entry/exit form mandatory for traveling to and from the Dominican Republic by air.
The e-Ticket for the Dominican Republic was introduced by the country’s General Immigration Office in April 2021 in order to eliminate the need for physical entry/exit forms for air travelers.
The e-Ticket to the Dominican Republic acts as both a Health Affidavit and a Customs Declaration, as well as an international Boarding / Disembarking form.
By completing these forms online in advance, you save time on arrival at the country’s borders.
You can complete a Dominican Republic e-Ticket application online in a matter of minutes. You simply need to fill out basic personal, passport, and health information and make a customs declaration.
Please note that the e-Ticket is not a visa for the Dominican Republic. Depending on your nationality, you may also need to apply for a Dominican Republic visa.
As a Dominican Republic online visa is not currently available. If you require a visa, you’ll need to apply in person at the nearest Dominican Republic embassy or consulate.

Dominican Republic Entry Documents
In order to complete an e-Ticket form, you must first meet the Dominican Republic passport requirements.
You need to have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the intended date of arrival in the country.
You need to supply a range of information to complete a Dominican Republic e-Ticket application form. This includes:
-
Personal information (name, address, nationality, etc.) -
Passport data -
Information about the address in the Dominican Republic -
Flight details/port of entry of exit -
Health information -
Customs declaration (for entry only)
You will also need to supply credit/debit card details to cover the processing fee before you submit the e-Ticket form. You should also supply a current email address to which updates about the e-Ticket application will be sent.
Once the form has been processed, the approved e-Ticket is electronically linked to your passport. You need to show the same passport when passing through immigration in the Dominican Republic.
If you’re entering the Dominican Republic and make the Customs declaration, a unique QR code is generated. You can save this as a PDF and print a copy if you desire.
However, you can also simply show the QR on a mobile device to airline staff when boarding a flight and customs officials on arrival.
Remember that the e-Ticket is not a visa, and you may still need to meet Dominican Republic visa requirements to enter the country. Be sure to check the Dominican Republic visa policy before your trip.

DoeTicket FAQ
Visa Policy for the Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic immigration requirements state that foreign citizens need a visa for the Dominican Republic, unless they come from one of the visa-exempt countries.
It’s important to note that all travelers need to have a Dominican Republic eTicket to enter or exit the country by air. This is a mandatory requirement for all air passengers, including citizens and residents of the Dominican Republic.
Regardless of whether you need a Dominican Republic travel visa or not, all foreign visitors are required to have a passport valid for at least 6 months on arrival to enter the country.
Countries that do not need a visa for the Dominican Republic are able to enjoy a visa-free stay of up to 90 days in the country. It is also possible to request an extension of this stay by paying a fee.
All other nationalities need to apply for a visa for the Dominican Republic from an embassy or consulate, no matter the travel purpose or length of stay. This is because an eVisa (online visa) or visa on arrival is not available for the Caribbean country.
Several different types of visa for the Dominican Republic must be obtained from an embassy or consulate, regardless of nationality. These include student visas, work visas, and resident permits.
-
Most visitors to the Dominican Republic are required to pay a small tourist fee of US$10.
There are only a few exemptions:
- Citizens and residents of the Dominican Republic
- Holders of a Dominican Republic passport
- Diplomats accredited to the Dominican Republic
- Citizens of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Israel, Japan, Peru, South Korea and Uruguay
- Passengers arriving in a small private aircraft (up to 30,000 pounds and 12 passengers)
This fee is usually charged when you buy your airline tickets, if you make the purchase outside the Dominican Republic. Non-exempt travelers entering the Dominican Republic by land or sea are instead charged a tourist card fee of US$10 on arrival.
If you qualify for one of the exemptions listed above but were automatically charged the fee with your airfare, you can request a refund online. This will then be issued to a credit card, check, or local bank account within 15 days.
-
If you are not visa-exempt for the Dominican Republic, you must get a visa from an embassy or consulate in advance of your visit. This is because an electronic visa or visa on arrival is not currently available for the Dominican Republic.

Certain passport holders do not need a visa for the Dominican Republic for short stays for tourism, transit, business, family/friends visits, or short-term study.
These exemptions apply to citizens from a range of countries around the world, including all European Union nations, Australia, Argentina, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the US, and the UK.
Permanent residents and valid visa holders from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union are also exempt from visa requirements for short stays.
It’s important to remember that even if you do not need a visa for the Dominican Republic, all air passengers must submit an e-Ticket form online. This is mandatory both when arriving and departing from the country.
Visa exemption is typically granted for stays of 90 days. However, you can extend a visa-exempt stay up to 120 days. This can be done by paying a fee either online on Dominican Directorate General for Migration website or at the airport on departure.
If you wish to stay for longer than 120 days, or visit for purposes such as to work or study long-term, you will need to apply for a visa from an embassy or consulate of the Dominican Republic.
