Tourist fee[edit]

Visitors are required to pay a tourist fee of 10 USD, except:^[15]

citizens, residents or holders of visas of the Dominican Republic
diplomats accredited to the Dominican Republic
citizens of Argentina, Chile, Israel, Japan, South Korea or Uruguay
those arriving in a small private aircraft (up to 30,000 pounds and 12 passengers)

This fee was previously charged in the form of a tourist card on arrival, but as of 25 April 2018, the card is no longer required of those arriving by air. Instead, the fee is charged with the airfare for all tickets issued outside the Dominican Republic.

Visitors who were automatically charged the fee with the airfare but satisfy one of the exemptions may request a refund of this fee online, to be issued within 15 days on a credit card, check or local bank account.^[15]^[16]

Visitors who enter the Dominican Republic by land or sea (and are not exempt) are still required to purchase a tourist card on arrival, which costs 10 USD or 10 EUR.^[17]

Admission restrictions[edit]

Passengers and airline crew arriving from Equatorial Guinea are not allowed to enter.^[2]

Passengers and airline crew who have been in or transited through Equatorial Guinea on or after 8 February 2023 are not allowed to enter.^[2]
