Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit DO?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic for tourism. Indonesia is not on the Dominican visa-free list, and there is no Dominican consulate in Indonesia, so the tourist visa must be applied for at a Dominican embassy/consulate in a third country. Important shortcut: if you already hold a valid US, Canadian, UK, Irish or Schengen visa or residence card, you may enter the Dominican Republic without a Dominican visa for up to 30 days. All air travelers must also complete the free online E-Ticket and the ~USD 10 tourist card (normally bundled into the airfare). As of 2026, Indonesia is classified by the Dominican Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) as a nationality that requires a tourist visa; it does not appear on the visa-free or tourist-card-only lists. Because there is no Dominican embassy or consulate in Indonesia, applicants must apply in person at the nearest Dominican mission abroad (commonly Singapore, Tokyo, Beijing, or another regional post) before travel. The standard tourist visa permits stays aligned with the 30-day tourist entry, extendable on departure for a fee. A widely used alternative exists: under Dominican visa policy, anyone holding a valid visa or residence card from the Schengen Area, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland or Cyprus may enter the Dominican Republic without applying for a Dominican visa, receiving the usual 30-day tourist admission. Regardless of which channel is used, every air traveler (including infants) must complete the free electronic E-Ticket at the official migration portal, and the approximately USD 10 tourist card fee is automatically included in airline tickets issued for air arrivals (only land/sea arrivals pay it separately). Passports should be valid at least six months and travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel, accommodation and sufficient funds. The Dominican Republic is not part of the Schengen Area, so ETIAS and the Schengen 90/180 rule do not apply.
