Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit DO?

Q: What is the e-Ticket and is it mandatory?

Yes, it is mandatory and free. Complete the electronic entry/exit form at eticket.migracion.gob.do before arrival; it generates a QR code you present at immigration on entry and exit.

Q: How much does the Tourist Card cost?

About USD 10. For arrivals by air it is already included in your airline ticket price, so you pay nothing extra. Land and sea arrivals pay it on arrival.

Q: How long can I stay and can I extend?

The standard visa-free stay is 30 days. You can extend up to a total of 120 days by paying a fee, typically settled at the airport on departure or at a Migration office.

Q: Does my passport need six months' validity?

Through 31 December 2026, EU tourists may enter with a passport valid only for the duration of their stay. However, holding at least six months' validity remains the safest practice.

Q: Is the Dominican Republic in the Schengen area?

No. The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean country and is not part of Schengen, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering it.

Finnish citizens can travel to the Dominican Republic for tourism without a visa, staying up to 30 days (extendable to 120 days). You must complete the free online e-Ticket before arrival; the tourist card fee is bundled into airline tickets for air arrivals. A Finland ordinary passport holder does NOT need a visa for a short tourist visit to the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic grants visa-free entry to European Union nationals for tourism, allowing an initial stay of up to 30 days that can be extended in-country up to 120 days for a fee. Two practical steps apply to all travelers: (1) complete the free electronic entry/exit form (e-Ticket) at eticket.migracion.gob.do before arrival to generate a QR code, and (2) hold a Tourist Card, which for air travelers is automatically included in the airfare (no separate purchase) and for land/sea arrivals costs about USD 10. As an exceptional measure in force through 31 December 2026, EU tourists may enter with a passport valid only for the duration of their stay rather than the usual six months; nonetheless, carrying at least six months' validity is the safe practice. The Dominican Republic is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entry into the Dominican Republic.
