Complete Guide
Everything you need to know before your trip to the Dominican Republic.
Overview
The eTicket (Electronic Ticket) is the Dominican Republic's mandatory digital entry and exit form for all travelers. Introduced in 2020, it replaced three separate paper forms that travelers previously had to complete on the airplane:
Upon completing the form online, travelers receive a QR code that must be presented to airlines before boarding and to customs upon arrival in the Dominican Republic.
Requirement
The eTicket is required for every traveler entering or exiting the Dominican Republic - regardless of nationality, age, or purpose of travel. This includes:
Timing
The eTicket can technically be completed at any time before your flight - even months in advance once you have your flight information. However, it must be done before you check in at the airport.
Don't leave it to the last minute
Airport WiFi can be unreliable, and the government portal can experience slowdowns during peak travel periods. Without a valid eTicket QR code, your airline may not allow you to board.
Groups
Families and groups can be submitted together under a single order. All travelers in the same group receive a single QR code that covers everyone listed. Groups larger than 6 additional members (7 total) require a separate submission.
With our service, simply add all travelers to your order. We handle the rest.
Also Required
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival in the Dominican Republic.
As of April 2023, airlines require all foreign passengers to have a confirmed round-trip ticket before boarding.
Cash or monetary instruments totaling $10,000 USD or more must be declared upon entry and exit.
If you stay longer than 30 days without an extension, you'll be charged a fine payable at the airport on departure.
