Don’t Forget This Key Document Before You Leave

Packing stress? Sure. Socks? Maybe. The big one now: you must complete the DR e-Ticket before flying to the Dominican Republic. Completing your e-ticket for Punta Cana is crucial. This digital form, which replaces paper declarations, has been required since 2021.

What is the E-Ticket Dominican Republic, and Why Do You Need It?

The e‑Ticket is a free digital form combining your Traveler Health Affidavit, Customs Declaration, and Board/Disembarkation details. You’ll need it to enter and exit the country, especially if you are heading to Punta Cana.

E-Ticket Dominican Republic & Entry Requirements in 2025

Here’s what you need to travel hassle-free with an e-ticket to Punta Cana:

  • Valid passport (valid for your entire stay; certain passport exemptions apply until Nov 30, 2025)
  • Round-trip flight ticket (required for most foreign travelers)
  • Completed and submitted the e-Ticket before any airline check-in or immigration encounter
  • The tourist card fee is typically included in your airfare. If arriving by land or sea, you may need to purchase it upon arrival.

As of 2022, no vaccination proof or COVID tests are required, though occasional random testing may still occur.

8-Step Fast Guide: How to Fill Out the E-Ticket Dominican Republic

  1. Visit the official .gob.do site (avoid third-party services).
  2. Use a desktop or laptop with Chrome or Firefox for best results.
  3. Fill out one form for up to seven travelers (or one form for each person).
  4. Enter personal details, trip itinerary, and customs info.
  5. You’ll be prompted to complete the exit e-Ticket in the same session—highly recommended.
  6. Save or screenshot your QR code(s) for both entry and exit.
  7. Fill out as early as you have confirmed your travel details, no longer bound by the 72-hour rule.
  8. Confirm with your airline that your e-Ticket is ready; don’t leave the airport without it!

What You’ll Lose If You Miss It

Without a filled-out e-Ticket, you may be denied boarding or denied entry, leading to unnecessary delays and stress. Make sure your e-ticket for Punta Cana is completed to ensure a smooth journey.

Extra Travel Tips for 2025

  • If staying longer than 30 days, you may need to pay an extension fee before departing.
  • U.S. travelers should practice increased caution, especially around crime and personal items
