The Dominican Republic E-Ticket is a free digital form required for all arrivals and departures. It replaced the paper entry and exit cards in 2021 and is accepted only at eticket.migracion.gob.do.
Complete the required entry and exit information through the official service. Keep the confirmations it generates for each journey; do not assume one code automatically covers both directions.

The fast facts
- Official URL:
eticket.migracion.gob.do— nothing else ends in.gob.do, and that suffix is restricted to Dominican government entities. - Cost: free. Always free.
- When to file: up to 72 hours before arrival. Earlier is fine for most cases. Flight info should be final.
- What you need: passport, flight details, accommodation, email, about 8 minutes.
- What you get: save the confirmation and QR code provided for your journey. Check both entry and exit details.
- Family groups: one adult can file for the whole family in a single E-Ticket. Each traveler is a section inside one form.
Is there an entry fee or an exit fee?
The E-Ticket is free. The fees people search for are real, but you do not pay them on the E-Ticket site, and you do not pay them to anyone offering to file the form for you.
- Departure tax: USD 20. Already inside your airline ticket. The Dominican embassy in the United States states it plainly: “There is also a USD 20 departure tax, included in the airline ticket.” Check the tax line on your booking confirmation before anyone asks you to pay it twice.
- Staying past 30 days: an extension fee applies. The embassy says it can be paid online or at the airport. It is a real government charge, unrelated to the E-Ticket.
- Filing the E-Ticket: USD 0. Any site charging a “processing”, “service”, or “expedite” fee to submit
eticket.migracion.gob.doon your behalf is charging you for something the government gives away.
