Dominican Republic E-Ticket: Step-by-Step Guide for Your Arrival

Every passenger entering or leaving the Dominican Republic on a commercial flight, Dominican or foreign, must complete the E-Ticket. It is free, you fill it in online on the official government site, and it gives you a QR code that the airline and the airport ask to see. This guide explains each step so your arrival in Punta Cana goes smoothly.

What Is the E-Ticket?

The E-Ticket is one digital form that replaced three paper forms: the international embarkation and disembarkation card, the customs declaration and the traveler health affidavit.

Is the E-Ticket Free?

Yes. The only official site is eticket.migracion.gob.do(opens in a new tab). Some third-party websites look similar and charge a fee. You never need to pay or enter card details to complete the E-Ticket.

When Should I Fill It In?

You can complete it from about a week before your trip, once you have your flight details. It must be done before you check in with your airline, so do not leave it for the airport.

One Form for Arrival, Another for Departure

A round trip needs two E-Tickets: one when you arrive in the Dominican Republic and one when you leave. Each form gives you its own QR code.

Traveling as a Family or Group

One form can cover up to seven people traveling together: the person filling it in plus up to six others. Children complete the migration and health sections but not the customs section, and the group receives one QR code. Larger groups need another form.

Do I Also Need a Tourist Card?

For most visitors arriving by air, the tourist card is included in the airfare, so there is nothing extra to buy. If you are unsure, check with your airline or travel agent before you fly.
