Disclaimer: We are an independent agency that provides professional assistance to apply for the mandatory DR eTicket, a digital form that all travelers entering or leaving the Dominican Republic must complete. We are not part of or affiliated with the Dominican Republic Government.
What is the e-Ticket DR?
The Dominican Republic e-Ticket (also known as DR Electronic Ticket or eTicket DR) is a single digital form that replaces several of the former paper documents required for travel. It combines the Migration Card, Customs Declaration, and Public Health Affidavit into one simple process.
All passengers, including foreigners, nationals, and residents, must present a valid DR e-Ticket QR Code to airline staff and immigration authorities.
Important: The DR eTicket does not replace the need for a visa. Every traveler must check the entry requirements related to their specific nationality and circumstances before visiting the Dominican Republic.
Entry and exit: you need both
Many travelers forget that the Dominican Republic requires a separate QR code for each leg of their journey.
1. Arrival e-Ticket (Entry)
You must present this QR code to the airline before boarding your flight to the Dominican Republic. It authorizes your entry and declares your customs details.
2. Departure e-Ticket (Exit)
You cannot leave the country without a Departure QR code. This must be presented at the check-in counter and border control when flying out of the Dominican Republic.
Important: If you are booking a round trip, we recommend applying for both your Entry and Exit e-Tickets at the same time to avoid stress during your vacation.
Who Must Apply to the Dominican e-Ticket?
The Dominican Republic’s e-Ticket rules are strict. There are no exceptions based on age or nationality. This means that all individuals entering the country must hold an e-Ticket:
- Tourists & visitors: All foreign nationals visiting for vacation, business, or transit.
- Residents & citizens: Dominican nationals and foreign residents must also complete the form for every trip.
- Minors & infants: Every child, regardless of age, requires their own individual e-Ticket. Parents must complete the application on behalf of their children.
What Documents Do I Need to Start My DR eTicket Application?
Unlike many government forms, the Dominican e-Ticket does not require you to upload scanned documents or photos. To complete the form quickly, you simply must have the following ready:
- Valid passport: We process all passport types. The Dominican Republic government does not apply specific validity restrictions for this digital form.
- Flight information: You must have your flight confirmation, including the airline name and flight number.
- Travel dates: Accurate arrival and departure dates are required.
- Email address: This is where we will send your PDF and QR code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dominican e-Ticket the same as a visa? Toggle faqs
No. The DR e-Ticket is not a visa. It is a mandatory declaration of health, customs, and migration data. Travelers from countries that require a visa to enter the Dominican Republic must obtain that visa separately. The e-Ticket is required in addition to your visa or passport.
When should I fill out the form to obtain the DR eTicket? Toggle faqs
You can apply as soon as you have your flight information. We recommend submitting your application at least 72 hours before your flight. This will ensure you have your documents ready, though we usually process requests immediately.
Do I need to print the DR e-Ticket QR code? Toggle faqs
While you can display the QR code on your smartphone, we strongly recommend printing a physical copy. Phone batteries can die, and internet connections at airports can be unreliable.
What if my flight details change? Toggle faqs
The e-Ticket to the Dominican Republic is valid only for the arrival or departure date indicated on the form. If your flight dates change significantly, you may need to submit a new application to ensure the QR code is valid for your specific travel day.
