Entry Requirements for the Dominican Republic
As of May 1, 2012 citizens of all nationalities will be required to enter Dominican Republic with a VALID PASSPORT.
To travel to the Dominican Republic, many people will need a Visa. Others, however, may be from countries who have signed agreements with the Dominican Republic so that they only need a Tourist Card. This, of course, only applies to visitors who are tourists.
A Tourist Card is a US $10 tax on incoming tourists that can be purchased at the airport when you arrive. Some airlines include this Touris Card in the price of the ticket and you will get them handed out in the plane.

All foreigners who enter the Dominican Republic, whether it be with a visa or a tourist card, must be in possession of their valid passports.
All foreigners wishing to enter the Dominican Republic on business must apply for a simple or multiple business visa, at one of our diplomatic and consular missions abroad, notwithstanding their inclusion in the list of countries which can enter with a tourist card, since it can only be used for tourism purposes exclusively.

Visa applications will be received and authorized exclusively by the Chancellery, in accordance with the current methods, restrictions and procedures established by the Consular and Migration Department.
