3 Easy Steps to obtaining Dominican-republic e-Visa

If you do not satisfy the requirements for applying ETA online, please apply through a travel agent, airline, or a Dominican-republic visa office. If you are not available for an ETA VISA, you can still apply for  another electronic visiting visa.

It is important that you are very careful when you enter your personal details. You will have an opportunity to review all the details you have provided and can change the details at any time until you confirm all details as correct.

If you have made an error, it is important that you correct it before proceeding. Once you have confirmed the details, your credit card will be debited for the non-refundable service charge.

If you find out later that you have made a mistake, you will need to make a new application (and incur another service charge). We cannot change the details on an ETA once it has been issued.

Note: If your ETA details do not match your passport details you might experience delays when boarding your aircraft or be refused entry into the Dominican republic.

No. You do not need to arrange your transportation into the country before applying for an ETA. Whether you are traveling by boat or plane, it’s okay to apply for your ETA anytime before or after your confirmed ticket.

• There are three basic steps which we recommend you to do before your trip to any country:
• Check the current validity of your passport (some countries requires at least 6 months validity remaining)
• You should make sure that your passport has blank pages.
• Last but not least, you need to check with your airlines if you need a transit visa.

The country code is +1. There are three area codes: 809, 829, and 849.

The Dominican Republic is surrounded by over 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of coastline on its north, east, and southern borders, and the climate is tropical. Noontime temperatures range from 27°C to 32°C (80°F to 90°F ), and can fall to 18°C and 23°C (64°F to 73°F) during the winter. Because we are in the tropics, it is hard to say if and when there is a rainy season. Rains are usually short-lasting.

• A visa is not required for this destination for up to 30 days. Please keep in mind that while a visa is not required, you must:
• Hold a Tourist Card to visit the Dominican Republic. The Tourist Card is a government fee to visit the country and is included in the applicant’s flight ticket. An extension is possible.
• Hold a passport valid for at least six months with at least one blank visa page
• Hold proof of onward and return flights
• Hold all documents required for the next destination
• Hold proof of sufficient funds relative to your intended length of stay
• Confirm with their airline that boarding will be permitted without a visa as these conditions are subject to change

If you plan to stay more than 30 days in the Dominican Republic, you will need your visa application form, your passport with a picture, a photocopy of your hotel reservation, flight, and a visa application letter. For a business visa, you will have to meet some of the same requirements as the tourist visa.

The Dominican Republic can be quite lax on many things compared to North America or Europe, but drugs are certainly not one of them. If you want to avoid spending time in extremely nasty Dominican jails, with very little hope for bail, it is strongly advised that you do not bring in, buy, sell, or consume illicit drugs in the Dominican Republic. Over-the-counter and prescription drugs should be in containers that are clearly labeled to avoid any possible problems.

All US Citizens require a visa and a US passport to travel to Dominican Republic, whether for business or tourism.  MOST foreign nationals require a visa.  We can help you to obtain a visa as well as a US passport.

No. If you have a family member, you will have to apply each for an application. Even if your child is traveling under your passport, they will need their own application.

Yes, kindly use his/her ID information alongside your personal information when completing the online application form. Please use your child’s (dependants) identification data requested at the time of completion when adding another traveler to your application. There are no exceptions regarding age.

So, there are many countries whose residents do not need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic but need to purchase a tourist card. Nevertheless, there are also lucky countries that do not need a visa or a tourist card: Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Israel, South Korea, Japan, and Uruguay.

Well, you cannot enter the Dominican Republic with a green card only. We should note that a green card is not a travel document, and it is just proof that you are a legal permanent resident of the United States. At this point, you cannot travel internationally with a green card only.

In the Dominican Republic, you can purchase and consume alcoholic beverages from the age of 18. This means that bars will not admit anyone under 18, even when accompanied by parents or an adult.

Yes, but as there can be dangerous areas in every town, city, and country in the world, it is the same for the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is a developing nation in many respects and many of its citizens are very poor. Poverty is the predominant cause of criminal activity everywhere in the world. The crime rate in the Dominican Republic is relatively low and criminal activity is generally petty theft. If you use common sense, you are unlikely to be a target of such crimes. This means putting valuables in room/hotel safes (when available), not leaving your things unattended, avoiding unpopulated areas (especially at night), and not wearing flashy articles, or carrying a lot of money on your person.

A visa takes anywhere from 2 days to 15+ days to process in the Dominican Republic Embassy/Consulate depending on the consulate that we need to send the application. The processing time for a visa is dependent on several factors and can change without notice at the consulate’s discretion. Please refer to our service selection page for the most up-to-date processing times for Dominican Republic visas.

Internet cafes can be found in most tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic. In addition, many of the larger hotels offer Internet access on-site, and some of these offer rooms with high-speed DSL Internet connections for laptops.
