Entry Requirements - Covid-19

Answer

As of April 23, 2022, you do not need to present a COVID-19 Vaccination Card, PCR, or antigen test to enter the Dominican Republic (or to enter tourist centers, any establishments or to receive services such as excursions).

Question

Entry Requirements - E-Ticket

Answer

All passengers entering or leaving the Dominican Republic must complete the free electronic entry and exit form, known as the “E-Ticket”. This form combines the Traveler’s Health Affidavit, Customs Declaration and International Embarkation/Disembarkation forms. The QR code will be scanned when you go through Customs. You will need to submit twice - once for arrival and once for departure. We recommend filling out the form 72 hours before the trip. Then printing or making a screenshot of the QR code.
