Guide to the Dominican Republic E-Ticket Form

Everything You Need to Know About The E-Ticket Form Before Traveling (Updated October 2026)

Planning a trip to the Dominican Republic? One essential step you can’t skip is completing the e-ticket form. This mandatory online registration form is required for all international travelers entering or leaving the country. To make your journey as smooth as possible, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about the e-ticket process.

The new portal: eticket.gob.do, with optional accounts and saved companions

Since 2026 there is a new official e-ticket portal at eticket.gob.do (the old eticket.migracion.gob.do address still works and links to it). On the new portal you can optionally create a free account that saves your personal details and your usual travel companions, so future trips take a couple of minutes, or just continue as a guest and fill in the form as before. An account is never required.

What is the e-Ticket Form?

The Dominican Republic’s e-ticket form is a digital entry and exit registration system that replaces traditional paper-based documents like customs declarations, embarkation/disembarkation cards, and health declarations. By consolidating these forms into a single online system, the Dominican Republic aims to streamline its immigration and customs processes for international travelers.

Who Needs to Complete the e-Ticket Form?

• All international travelers, including Dominican citizens and residents, must complete the e-ticket form.
• Both adults and children are required to register for FREE. Parents or guardians can fill out the form on behalf of minors. You can register everyone on one form (more details below).
• The form must be completed for both entry and exit. Do your return at the same time: after the entry form, the system offers you the exit form straight away. Fill in your return flight and you’ll get a second QR code (entry and exit have different codes and different application codes), save both together in one PDF and keep them accessible for your whole trip.
• There is no official app — it’s a mobile-friendly website, and desktop is reported to work more smoothly. The portal offers 7 languages: Spanish, English, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, German and French. Check the Digital traveler page.

When Should You Complete the Form?

Complete the e-ticket as soon as you have your flight details — you can do it weeks or even months before you travel; there is no 72-hour window anymore. What matters is that it is done before you reach the airline check-in counter, because the airline will ask for your QR code before letting you board.

How to Access and Fill Out the e-Ticket Form

Follow these simple steps to complete the e-ticket form:

• Visit the Official Website: Go to the new e-ticket portal and select one of four options: Log in, Register, Continue with (Google or Apple account), Continue as a guest (3 options: new e-ticket, consult e-ticket, create from a previous e-ticket).
• Optional: Go to the original e-ticket registration page. Select your language on the top right corner (Spanish, English, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, German, French), then click the “Submit” button to start the registration process.
• Save the application code: As soon as you start, the system gives you an application code. Save it (screenshot or note it down): with that code you can re-enter your form at any time to finish, check or correct it. Without it, you’ll have to start over.
• Enter General Information: Address, country of residence, city, state, and postal code. Indicate if you will make a stop in other countries.
• Input Personal Information: Provide details such as your full name, passport information, and date of birth.
• Enter Travel Details: Include your flight number, airline, arrival/departure dates, and accommodation address.
• Use the last flight segment into the DR as your embarkation port/flight on the entry form, and the first segment out on the exit form.
• Hotels/resorts are picked from an official list and the address auto-fills; Airbnb, your own house or a friend’s house need a manual address (province, municipality, sector, street).

If you are traveling to Dominicus or Bayahibe enter your destination address and select the following:

Sector: Dominicus (or Bayahibe)

City or Municipality: San Rafael de Yuma

Region: La Altagracia

Note that Dominicus and Bayahibe are located in the La Altagracia region (like Punta Cana), not in the La Romana region and are not part of La Romana city.

• The form asks about layovers in another country, your travel purpose, and sports you plan to practise (you can answer “none”); email and phone are optional.
• Health Declaration: There is no separate health questionnaire in the current form — the COVID-era questions about symptoms and recent travel history no longer appear, and no COVID test or vaccination proof is required to enter the Dominican Republic.
• Customs Declaration: Only adults (18+) complete the customs declaration — children are included on the form for immigration purposes but skip this section. Each adult answers for themselves: whether you are carrying cash or monetary instruments worth US$10,000 or more, any plants, animal or food products, and any goods subject to tax or duty. The customs authority (DGA) launched the official Manual del Viajero (Traveller’s Manual) covering duty-free allowances, the duty to declare cash over US$10,000, restricted goods and pets.
• Submit and Save: Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation with a QR code.
• Register Your Return: Choose the option to fill out the form for your return flight.
• Register Another Passenger: Register all passengers traveling with you.

Insider Tips for a Hassle-Free Experience

• Group Submission: Traveling as a family or group? One application can cover up to 7 people traveling together (you plus up to 6 companions), and you’ll receive a single QR code that is valid for everyone listed on it. Every traveler, babies and children included, must be named on the form.
• Save Your QR Code: The QR code is required at immigration and customs. Save it on your phone or print it for easy access.
• Stable Internet Connection: Ensure you have reliable internet while completing the form to avoid interruptions.
• Double-Check Details: Verify all information, including your passport number and travel dates, before submitting to avoid errors. Passport number is entered twice, and names must match the passport exactly. The DR uses day/month/year — a recurring trap for US readers.
• Bring a Backup: While a digital QR code is sufficient, having a printed copy can serve as a helpful backup.

What Happens If You Don’t Fill Out The E-Ticket Form?

Don’t leave it until the airport. Airlines check your e-ticket QR code at check-in and can refuse boarding if you don’t have one — there is no paper alternative, and the system itself has gone down before (including on 27 December 2025 and 16 October 2026), stranding travelers who had left it to the last minute. Complete it at home, and save a screenshot or PDF of your QR code offline: email is optional on the form and no confirmation email is sent automatically.

What If I Make a Mistake?

Made a mistake? You have two options. You can edit the form: choose “Consult E-Ticket” and enter the application code you were given when you started, you can correct details or even add travelers up to one day before your flight, and you’ll get a new QR code. Or simply complete a new e-ticket; only the most recent version is validated. Either way, save your application code somewhere safe, without it you can’t get back into a submitted form.
