Dominican Republic arrival card: e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form)

Common questions

Do I need an arrival card for Dominican Republic?

Yes. Visitors must fill in the e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form) online before arriving in Dominican Republic. Free; covers immigration and customs, for entry and exit on commercial flights. The Ministry of Tourism says passengers on private flights, ferries and cruise ships use paper forms instead.

When should I fill in the e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form)?

Official sources differ: UK travel advice says up to 7 days before you arrive, while the Ministry of Tourism says as soon as you have your flight details, even months in advance. Submitting within 7 days of arrival fits both. It must be done before airline check-in.

How much does the e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form) cost?

It's free on the official government site, eticket.migracion.gob.do. Websites that charge a fee for it are not the official one.

Is the e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form) the same as an arrival card or entry form?

Yes. Countries use different names for the same thing: arrival card, arrival form, entry form, immigration card, landing card, ED (embarkation and disembarkation) card. For Dominican Republic, the official name is the e-Ticket (electronic entry and exit form).

Do I still need a visa for Dominican Republic?

An arrival form is not a visa. Whether you need a visa or an electronic travel authorization depends on your nationality, so check Dominican Republic's official immigration website or your own government's travel advice.
