Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the 21 days you plan to stay in Dominica. Airlines at check-in may ask for 6 months validity — carry a printed copy of the official entry rules from the Discover Dominica website to show them. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration at Douglas-Charles Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before stamping you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound booking ready — they check this at the counter before you reach the officer. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. Have a printed reservation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Immigration can ask for proof you have enough money for 21 days. Carry a recent bank statement or credit card showing available funds — around $500 USD is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
21-day limit is strict
Overstaying even by a day can result in fines or a ban. Set a reminder to leave before your 21 days are up.
