Planning a trip to the Dominican Republic? Whether you’re heading to Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, or anywhere else in this tropical paradise, you’ll need to complete an eTicket before arrival and departure.
This mandatory online form combines immigration, customs, and public health information. It’s free, easy to fill out, and saves time at the airport.
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you complete the form.

✈️ When to Fill Out the eTicket
- Before your departure to the Dominican Republic
