We fill out your e-Ticket
Ideal for seniors, families with children or anyone unsure about the form. We check every detail against the passport, generate the QR on the free official portal and give it to you printed and on your phone. The government form is free: we only charge for assistance if you request it.

What the e-Ticket is and why it's required
The e-Ticket replaced the old paper embarkation/disembarkation cards and the customs declaration. In one form you declare your identity, your flight, where you will stay, what you are carrying and a short health statement. Airlines may deny boarding without it, and immigration reviews it on arrival.
Most importantly: it costs nothing. The DGM has warned about copycat sites that show up as paid Google ads and charge $15–$80 per traveler at the very end, after you've already typed your passport details.
Information to have ready
- Each traveler's passport: name exactly as printed, number, nationality, date of birth and expiration.
- Flight details: airline, flight number, date, departure and arrival airports.
- Address in the Dominican Republic: hotel or family home (province, city, neighborhood, street).
- An email address you can open on your phone.
- Customs details: cash over US$10,000 (or equivalent), goods for resale, food, animals or taxable items.
- Dual citizens: pick which passport you travel on and use that same one on the form and at the airport.
How to fill out the e-Ticket step by step
- Open the official portal eticket.migracion.gob.do and choose your language.
- Select the trip type: arrival in or departure from the Dominican Republic.
- Enter general information: permanent address, whether you travel alone or with family, and number of companions.
- Enter each passenger exactly as shown on the passport. Double-check passport numbers.
- Add flight information and the address where you will stay.
- Answer the customs and health questions truthfully.
- Submit and save the QR code: download it, screenshot it and email it to yourself. Airports can have poor signal.
Mistakes that cause the most trouble
| Mistake | What happens and how to avoid it |
|---|---|
| Paying on a fake site | You lose money and hand over passport data. Only use the .gob.do domain. |
| Name or passport mismatch | Check-in delays. Copy details letter by letter. |
| Using a different passport | If you filled it with your US passport, travel with that one. |
| Waiting until the airport | Lines, bad signal, stress. Do it calmly days ahead. |
| Forgetting the return | Departure also requires an e-Ticket. Generate it before your flight home. |
Traveling with children, seniors or a group
The form lets you indicate you're traveling with family and add each companion with their own passport details. For seniors who aren't comfortable with phones, it's easiest to have a relative or a trusted office fill it out with them and print the QR.
The e-Ticket does not replace other requirements: a valid passport, a visa if your nationality needs one, or the minor travel authorization when a Dominican child leaves the country without one or both parents.
