Malaysia to Dominican Republic visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit the Dominican Republic for tourism. They may enter visa-free for up to 30 days (extendable to a total of 120 days for a fee). A free online E-Ticket must be completed before arrival, and the US$10 tourist card fee is bundled into the airfare for air arrivals. As of 30 May 2026, Malaysia is on the Dominican Republic's visa-free list, so a Malaysian ordinary passport holder can travel for tourism without applying for any visa in advance. On arrival by air, immigration grants a stay of up to 30 days, which can be extended at the Dirección General de Migración in Santo Domingo for up to 120 days total upon payment of an overstay/extension fee. The only mandatory online formality is the Dominican Republic E-Ticket, a free electronic entry/exit form (eticket.migracion.gob.do) that every traveler must complete and is ideally submitted within 72 hours of the flight. The historic US$10 tourist card fee is no longer purchased separately at the airport for air travelers, as it is included in the airline ticket price; travelers entering by land or sea still pay it (US$10 or EUR 10). The passport must be valid for at least six months, and proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds may be requested. The Dominican Republic is in the Caribbean and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
