A passport valid for six months is required by most nationals to enter the Dominican Republic.
Most visitors from countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union member states, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mexico, many South American countries, Central America, Japan, and Israel do not need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic for tourism purposes. These travelers can stay for up to 30 days, with the possibility of extension.
In addition, individuals holding a valid visa to enter Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, or any Schengen country, also do not require a separate tourist visa to enter the Dominican Republic.
All travelers, both Dominican and foreign, are required to complete the electronic ticket (eTicket) form when entering or leaving the Dominican Republic.
For the most up-to-date information, it's advisable to consult with the Dominican Republic consulate or embassy nearest to you.
The tourism entry tax (previously known as a Tourist Card) is included in your airfare.
Nationals in need of a tourist visa must pay a visa fee to their nearest Dominican Consulate. The Dominican Consulate in the UK does not issue visas and refers to the Dominican Consulate in Paris, which states a visa fee of €120 which must be paid via banker’s draft. Personal cheques will not be accepted.
It is best to check with a consulate near you if you have any questions regarding the visa fee.
You will need to obtain a Tourist Visa if:
• You’re not a resident of the UK
• Your country is not listed above
• You do not hold a valid visa for entry to Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, or any Schengen country
Please contact the Dominican Embassy at consulate@dominicanembassy.org.uk for more information about how to apply.
The length of time taken to process visa applications depends on the nationality of the applicant and the country where you're applying. Contact your nearest embassy or consulate for further details.
Documents that demonstrate economic solvency are required when applying for a Tourist Visa. Bank certificates, letter of your savings account or checking account, or a Labor Certification are acceptable documents.
To extend your visit, you must go to the Migration Department (Dirección General de Migración) in Santo Domingo and pay an additional fee starting at RD$2,500, which varies depending on the length of stay. See the Migration Department website (www.migracion.gob.do) for further information.
