Dominican Republic arrival card requirements

The E-Ticket is, in full, the Electronic Ticket of Entry and Exit of the Dominican Republic. It is one online form that combines the information required by migration (DGM), customs (Dirección General de Aduanas) and public health (Ministerio de Salud Pública). It replaced the paper forms, and digital completion became mandatory in 2021.

When the form is submitted, the portal generates a QR code that can be downloaded as a PDF or saved as a screenshot. The airline asks for the E-Ticket at check-in. On arrival, migration verifies by passport number that the form was completed, and customs asks for the QR code.

The E-Ticket is not a visa. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality.

To complete the Dominican Republic arrival card you need:

  • A valid passport
  • Your flight details for this direction (airline, flight number, date)
  • Your hotel name or full address in the Dominican Republic
  • Your home address, email and phone number

Dominican Republic arrival card FAQs

What travellers commonly ask about the Dominican Republic arrival card.

Still have questions?Our travel-document team answers by email and phone.
Is the Dominican Republic E-Ticket a visa?

No. The E-Ticket is an entry and exit declaration for migration, customs and public health. If your nationality needs a visa, you must obtain it separately.

Do I need an E-Ticket for departure as well?

Yes. The form is filled out once for entry and once for departure, so a round trip means two forms and two QR codes. One order on our website covers one direction, so place a second order for your flight out.

Is the E-Ticket free?

Yes. The official form is free on the government portal at eticket.migracion.gob.do. Our fee is for the assistance service: preparing, checking and submitting the form on your behalf.

How early can the E-Ticket be completed?

Official sources differ: the Dominican tourism board says as soon as you have your flight information, while the Ministry of Tourism FAQ and the UK government travel advice mention up to 7 days before arrival. In every case it must be done before you reach the airline counter.

Do children need an E-Ticket?

Yes. The requirement covers all passengers, including children. On the official portal one form can include a family group of up to 7 people, and children complete the migration and public health parts but not the customs part.

Dominican Republic guide Dominican Republic E-Ticket Validity and Period of Stay

An E-Ticket is valid for one direction of one trip. The entry form covers your arrival, the departure form covers your flight out, and every new trip needs new forms.

The E-Ticket does not decide how long you may stay. Your permitted stay depends on the immigration rules for your nationality.

Dominican Republic guide Dominican Republic E-Ticket: Processing Time

The official portal issues the QR code when the form is submitted. After we submit your form, we send the QR code to the email address given in your order.

Official sources do not agree on how early the form can be filed. The Dominican tourism board says it can be completed as soon as you have your flight information, even months in advance, and that the earlier 72-hour rule no longer applies. The Ministry of Tourism FAQ and the UK government travel advice mention up to 7 days before arrival. If you file the form yourself, check the official portal for the current rule.

All sources agree on the deadline: the form must be completed before you reach the airline counter, because the airline will ask for it.

Dominican Republic guide Who Needs to Complete the Dominican Republic E-Ticket?

The Dominican Republic E-Ticket is the electronic entry and exit form of the Dirección General de Migración (DGM), the Dominican migration authority. All passengers, Dominican or foreign, who enter or leave the country on a commercial flight must complete it. This includes residents, adults and children.

The form is needed for both arrival and departure. Each direction is a separate form with its own QR code, so a round trip means two forms and two QR codes. One order on our website covers one direction: order one E-Ticket for your arrival and a second one for your departure.

According to the Dominican tourism board, passengers arriving on private flights, non-commercial vessels, ferries or cruise ships do not need the E-Ticket.

  4. Enter your flight and stay details: airline, flight number, airports, hotel or private address, days of stay and reason for the visit.
  5. For arrival, answer the customs questions and any public health questions the form asks. The official manual states that the departure form needs no customs or health information.

When you order through us, you give us these details in one short application, and we check them and complete the official form for you.

Dominican Republic guide Dominican Republic E-Ticket: Common Mistakes and Issues

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • Completing only one direction: the form is filled out once for entry and once for departure
  • Typing the passport number incorrectly: migration checks the form by passport number, so one wrong character matters
  • Leaving it until check-in: the airline will ask for the E-Ticket at the counter
  • Not saving the QR code: keep the PDF or a screenshot where you can open it offline
  • Not declaring cash or goods: the arrival form asks about cash of more than US$10,000 or its equivalent and about taxable goods

NOTE: If your flight changes after you order, contact us. The official manual says that a new form can be filled in and that the last form submitted is the one taken into account.

Arrival Card Hub is a private service operated by Passporta, not a government website. We charge a service fee for preparing, checking and submitting your arrival card. You can also complete it yourself on the official government portal.
