Dominican Republic Required Travel Docs

US Passport REQUIRED

Dominican Republic passport requirements state that a valid passport with at least one blank page for an entry stamp is required to enter the country. If you’re entering as a tourist your passport must be valid up to at least the date of your proposed departure from the Dominican Republic. Some countries require it to be over 6 months from the end of your stay, so to make sure you have no problems, we recommend this rule. Check your passport expiration date!

It is mandatory for each passenger to truthfully complete the information on the electronic Ticket for the General Immigration Office, the General Customs Office, and the Ministry of Public Health, according to Dominican laws 285-04, 115-17, 72-02, and 226-06. This is mandatory in order to enter and exit the DR.
