Thailand to Dominican Republic visa requirements

Q: What is the E-Ticket and is it required?

The E-Ticket (Viajero Digital) is a free, mandatory electronic entry and exit form that every traveler must complete online before flying. You receive a QR code to present at immigration.

Q: How much does the Tourist Card cost and do I pay it at the airport?

The Tourist Card costs US$10. For air tickets issued outside the Dominican Republic, this fee is automatically included in your airfare, so you usually do not pay it separately on arrival.

Q: Can I stay longer than 30 days?

Yes. You can request an extension at the General Directorate of Migration. Otherwise, overstays are settled with a graduated fee when you leave.

Q: Do I need a return ticket?

Yes. Since April 2023 airlines must verify that foreign passengers hold a round-trip or onward ticket before boarding flights to the Dominican Republic.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport should be valid for at least six months. Keep it valid for the full duration of your stay and departure.

Thai ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist visits to the Dominican Republic. They can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. The US$10 tourist card is included in your air ticket fare, and every traveler must complete the free online E-Ticket before flying. As of 2026-05-30, Thailand is on the Dominican Republic's list of visa-exempt countries. A Thai ordinary passport holder traveling for tourism may enter without a visa and stay up to 30 days, with the possibility of extending the stay at the local Migration office for a fee. There is no advance visa application. Two practical requirements apply to nearly all visitors: (1) the Tourist Card (Tarjeta de Turista), which costs US$10 and is automatically bundled into the price of air tickets issued outside the Dominican Republic (so air travelers do not pay it separately at the airport); and (2) the mandatory, free electronic entry/exit form known as the E-Ticket (Viajero Digital), which every passenger - regardless of nationality or age - must complete online before travel. Airlines also verify that foreign passengers hold a round-trip / onward ticket before boarding. Thai passports should be valid for at least six months. This visa-free channel is well established and confirmed by the Dominican migration authority, the official tourism board, and the Dominican Consulate in Bangkok.
