Prepare the details DGM asks for

The E-Ticket service covers entry and exit. DGM lists your full name, passport number, email, flight number, airline, exact accommodation address and applicable customs information among its requirements. The government service is free.

Keep your passport and booking confirmation beside you. Check that the direction of travel and dates match the journey you are completing. Use the address supplied by your accommodation provider.

The field cards below are a local aid, not a reproduction of every screen in the live form. Follow the official service if its questions differ.

Save the result

Save the confirmation and any QR code the service generates. Keep the result available offline for your journey. Complete the required entry and exit information; do not assume that one code automatically covers both directions.

If you cannot find a confirmation, use the official service’s retrieval or help options before creating another submission. This guide cannot look up your record.

§ Fields, in order

14 fields, 3 sections, ~8 minutes total.

All sections Showing 7 of 14

Section 1 · Traveler identity

Passport number

The string next to "Passport No." on the photo page. 6 to 12 alphanumeric characters. Do not paste from the MRZ at the bottom.

^[A-Z0-9]{6,12}$ max 12

Given name

First and middle names exactly as on the passport, Latin letters only. The MRZ row is always ASCII; use that as your source of truth.

max 50

Family name

Apellidos, as printed. Keep hyphens. Suffixes (JR, III) only if printed on the passport. If your passport has a blank surname field, repeat the given name.

max 50

Date of birth

ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). The site has a date picker — use it.

Section 2 · Trip

Flight or vessel number

2-letter IATA code + number, no space. Common to PUJ / SDQ / POP: DL (Delta), JBU (JetBlue → use B6), AA (American), UA (United), AC (Air Canada), AT (Royal Air Maroc), IB (Iberia). Cruise arrivals: vessel name + voyage number.

Arrival date

Date you land in the Dominican Republic, local time. Filing 1–7 days before arrival is fine. Same E-Ticket is reused for departure — that's why it asks both dates upfront.

Section 3 · Accommodation

Address or hotel in DR

Hotel / resort / Airbnb name + town. Punta Cana resorts often share brand names — include the beach or address line. For cruise day-trippers, write the ship name.

max 200

§ Error decoder

What the official site says vs. what it actually means.

"Número de pasaporte inválido"

Space, dash, or pasted from the MRZ. Use the short number above.

"Fecha inválida"

Used MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY. Use YYYY-MM-DD or the date picker.

"Vuelo no válido"

Space in the flight number, wrong airline prefix, or marketing-vs-operating carrier on a codeshare.

"Vuelo de salida vacío"

Departure flight field can't be blank. If you don't know it yet, use a placeholder flight on the same day — you can edit before travel.

"QR no escanea"

Rare. Show passport — officer looks up record by passport number. Form is in the DGM system the moment you submit.

"No PDF after 1 hour"

Check spam. Refile if still missing — duplicates are harmless, the latest one applies.

§ After submit

What happens between hitting submit and getting through immigration.
