Dominican Republic Visa Requirements

Visa Requirements

Passports valid for six months are required by all nationals visiting the Dominican Republic and proof of a return or onward ticket and any documents required for their next destination (ie visas etc) are also required by all nationals.

Visas are not required by most nationalities if visiting the country for tourist purposes - this includes Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland. However you will need to purchase a tourist card for US$10 upon arrival that allows entry into the country and is valid for up to 30 days - this can be extended up to 90 days for an additional fee. If visiting the country for business purposes a visa is required. To obtain visas and tourist cards contact your local embassy.

There is a US$20 departure tax that is usually included in the price of your airline ticket. If its not included the tax is payable on departure. Please note the tax increases for longer stays.

As entry requirements may change from time to time it is strongly advised that you check with the department of foreign affairs or your local consulate or embassy for the current requirements
