Who needs a visa for the Dominican Republic?

The good news is that citizens of 108 countries and passport-issuing authorities can enter Dominica as tourists without a visa for up to 30 days. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and the European Union are among the nations that do not require a visa (EU). The Dominican Republic's Ministry of External Relations website contains a comprehensive list, including information on the visa periods given to various nations. A passport with two blank pages is required for entry into Dominica.

Your passport must also be valid for at least six months beyond the end of your visit. Once in Dominica, travellers must get a tourist card; prior to 2018, this card cost $10 USD at the airport, but the amount is now frequently included in the price of the ticket. There is also a $20 USD exit tax imposed by Dominican law, which should be included in your airfare. To minimize surprises on arrival or departure, confirm with your carrier that both costs have been included. You can visit Dominica without a visa if you are a legal resident of, or have a valid visa for, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, or the Schengen region.

Visitors who do not come from a visa-exempt nation must apply for a visa at the nearest Dominica embassy (which may be in a neighboring country). Visa prices vary based on the kind of visa, the duration of stay, and the nation where you apply; a single-entry visa can cost up to US $95 USD (not including service fees).
