E-Ticket for the Dominican Republic

Regardless of whether or not you need a visa, please note that, as of April 1, 2021, visitors entering or leaving the Dominican Republic must complete and submit a digital entry and exit form that includes the traveler’s Customs Declaration, as well as the embarkation and disembarkation forms. Visitors must complete one form up to 72 hours before arrival and another before departure. The system will generate the corresponding QR codes for each form. Travelers may print or take a screenshot of these QR codes and keep them ready to be scanned by local customs authorities. The same alphanumeric code generated by the E-Ticket upon entry into the Dominican Republic must also be used to complete the exit form (as the same code is used to register both entry and exit). See https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/

If you need a formal invitation letter for visa purposes to attend CAMSAP, you can request it during the registration process. Please ensure that you check the box and provide the requested passport information. Once completed, we will send you a signed letter in both English and Spanish to include with your visa application.
