Dominican Republic Immigration & Entry Form (E-Ticket) 2026

What is the Dominican Republic e-Ticket?

The Dominican Republic e-Ticket is the country's digital passenger arrival and departure form.

The Dominican Republic General Directorate of Migration describes it as a digital form required for entry into or exit from Dominican territory.

The system combines information needed for the passenger travel process into an online form. It is sometimes searched for as a Dominican Republic immigration form or Dominican Republic entry form.

Who needs to complete the Dominican Republic e-Ticket?

The Dominican Republic General Directorate of Migration states that the service is intended for all passengers entering or leaving the country, whether Dominican nationals or foreign travelers.

Travelers should always check the current official instructions for their individual circumstances.

Do I need the e-Ticket when entering AND leaving?

Yes. The official migration service describes the e-Ticket as applying to passengers entering or leaving Dominican territory.

This is important because travelers searching for a Dominican Republic arrival form may incorrectly assume that the process only applies to arrival.

Is the Dominican Republic E-Ticket mandatory?

Yes for applicable passengers. The General Directorate of Migration describes the digital form as required for passengers entering or leaving Dominican territory, whether Dominican or foreign. Check the current official instructions for your itinerary.

Is the Dominican Republic E-Ticket free?

Yes. The official Dominican Republic E-Ticket service is free.

The official Dominican migration service states that there is no cost to request the service. Be careful when search results lead to commercial sites charging for assistance. Use the official government resource.

When should I complete the E-Ticket?

Complete it once you have flight details, and before you reach the airline check-in counter.

Dominican tourism currently says you do not have to wait until 72 hours before travel. You may complete it once you have flight details, even months ahead. It still must be done before the airline counter.

What information should I have ready?

According to the official migration service, travelers should be prepared with information including:

• Passport information (full name and passport number)
• Email
• Flight information (flight number and airline)
• Accommodation / address information
• Customs information where applicable

Enter those details in the official Dominican Republic system. Go-Worldify does not collect passport, flight or customs information for this process.

Family and group instructions

One user can include up to six additional family members on the same E-Ticket (seven people total).

Children and minors

Children traveling on commercial flights are part of the passenger process. Children included on a family E-Ticket do not complete the customs section. Adults still complete customs. Check the current official instructions for children on your itinerary.

How to complete it

Open the official Dirección General de Migración E-Ticket service, enter the traveler and trip details the form asks for, submit, then save the QR confirmations for arrival and departure. Save the application code if you must edit the form later.

Immigration and customs information

The E-Ticket combines passenger travel information into one online form. Customs questions sit inside the E-Ticket for adults 18 and over. Children on a family form skip the customs section.

QR code and what happens after submission

You need arrival and departure QR confirmations. Keep them available for the airline and immigration. One QR can cover the family group described on the form.

How long does the E-Ticket take?

The Dominican Republic General Directorate of Migration currently lists an estimated processing/completion time of approximately five minutes. Actual completion time can vary by traveler.

Where is the official Dominican Republic E-Ticket?

Use the official Dominican Republic migration system linked at the top of this page. Go-Worldify is not the Dominican government and does not charge travelers to access the official E-Ticket.

Common mistakes

• Paying a third-party site for a form the official service provides free
• Confusing the E-Ticket with the Tourist Card or a visa
• Searching for a separate Punta Cana form instead of the national E-Ticket
• Completing only arrival and forgetting the departure confirmation
• Arriving at the airline counter without the QR codes

Troubleshooting

If the website is not working, return to the official Dominican Republic migration website linked on this page. Do not use a lookalike domain or a paid third-party completion service. Save the application code if you need to edit a submitted form.

Tourist Card vs E-Ticket

The E-Ticket is not the Dominican Republic Tourist Card. The Tourist Card is a separate US$10 tourism tax/card from Dirección General de Impuestos Internos (DGII). For qualifying airline tickets issued outside the Dominican Republic, that tax is generally included in airfare.

This page stays focused on the free E-Ticket. Use the dedicated Dominican Republic Tourist Card guide for cost, airfare inclusion, land and sea arrivals, and who needs the tax.

Going to Punta Cana?

The same national Dominican Republic E-Ticket system applies to travelers using major Dominican destinations and airports, including Punta Cana.

There is not a separate Punta Cana form. Travelers searching for a Punta Cana entry form, Punta Cana immigration form or Punta Cana E-Ticket are generally looking for the national E-Ticket process.
