Ukrainian passport holders can visit Dominica without a visa for up to 90 days. This policy started in 2024 and still applies in 2025. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your entry date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Dominica. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Douglas-Charles Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. Overstaying the 90-day visa-free period can result in fines or a ban. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host ready. A simple printout or digital copy on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Immigration can request evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $100–$200 per day of your trip. Cash is not required — a card and a recent statement are fine. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months after the day you land in Dominica, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your trip accordingly, and leave before the stamp expires to avoid fines or a ban.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residency through the Dominica Immigration Department in Roseau.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Dominica immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a transit visa for certain nationalities.
No, the visa-free entry is for tourism only. For work or study, you need the appropriate visa or permit. Contact the Dominica Ministry of Labour or Immigration for details.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering Dominica. The exact penalty depends on how long you overstay. Leave before your stamp expires.
It's not a formal requirement, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Having a credit card or cash (Eastern Caribbean dollars) is a good idea.
