E-Ticket

The Dominican Republic E-Ticket is the mandatory digital entry and exit form for every passenger on commercial flights. It covers the requirements of the General Immigration Office, the General Customs Office, and the Ministry of Public Health.

What it is

Every passenger must truthfully complete the information requested by the immigration, customs, and public health authorities.

Timing

When should you complete the form?

The old 72-hour rule no longer applies — here is what matters now.

1

Fill it out as soon as you have your flight information

You can complete the form well before your trip, even months in advance.

2

Do it before reaching the airline counter

You may need to present it during check-in, so do not wait until the last moment at the airport.

3

Keep the completed form accessible

Have the electronic record available on your phone or with your travel documents.

4

Best practice

To avoid delays, we recommend completing the form the day before your trip.
