Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in the Dominican Republic, not from your departure date. If it's close, renew first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Dominican embassy
Find the nearest Dominican embassy or consulate (e.g., in Beijing, Tokyo, or Washington D.C.). Submit your application, passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and proof of funds. Pay the visa fee (around $30–$60 depending on the embassy). Processing takes 5–15 business days.
2
Prepare your documents for travel
Once your visa is issued, make photocopies of your passport bio page, visa sticker, and travel insurance. Save digital copies to your phone and email. Book your return ticket and first night's accommodation if not already done.
3
Arrive at a Dominican airport
You'll land at Punta Cana (PUJ), Santo Domingo (SDQ), or Puerto Plata (POP). Go to the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport with visa, completed arrival card (given on the plane), and return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp you in — usually for 30 days.
4
Exit immigration and collect luggage
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim. There's no secondary check for most tourists. If you have nothing to declare, walk through the green channel.
