Dominican Republic to launch an electronic ticket portal for travellers

The Dominican Republic will adopt a new electronic system for providing the digital versions of the traveller?s health affidavit, customs declaration and international boarding/disembarking forms from November 29.

Thereafter, all passengers entering and departing the country will be required to fill out and submit their digital forms through the Electronic Ticket Portal

David Collado, minister of tourism, Dominican Republic, said ?The implementation of a single digital registration form to enter and leave the country is the result of the enhanced collaboration between different government entities to facilitate and further improve the migration process for travellers.?

Mr Collado added, ?By condensing three forms into one and using contactless technology it also allows the Dominican authorities to access information in real time on the arrivals and departures of passengers to our country.?

An electronic form for the purpose of international travel will help increase the efficiency of migration, customs and public health processes, and improve the experience of foreign and Dominican passengers entering or leaving the country.

The form can be accessed through the following link: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/ and must be completed by somebody who plans to visit the country. Once completed, passengers will receive a QR code that will be scanned by the authorities at the port of entry or by the airlines during check-in and departure. Dominican airports will provide free internet service to allow passengers to fill up their forms upon arrival.

Between November 29 and December 31, the Dominican authorities will accept both types of registrations; print as well as digital; to enter the country. Post January 1, 2021, the use of digital forms will be mandatory.

The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism has taken up the responsibility of communicating to the corresponding public and private entities, both within and outside the Dominican Republic, about this new procedure. The tourism authorities have also created video tutorials with instructions, on how to complete the forms, and provided a list of some frequently asked Q/A.
