When should I fill out my e-ticket to enter Dominican Republic?

E-Ticket. It is no longer required to fill it out 72 hours prior to the trip. It can be filled out as soon as you have your flight information, even months in advance. However, it must be filled out before arriving at the airline counter at the airport, as it is required to present it to the airline.



You should fill out your E-Ticket for the Dominican Republic as early as 72 hours before your arrival, and no later than the day before your flight.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the ideal timing and process:

Key Timing Guidelines

  • Recommended: Complete it within 3 days (72 hours) prior to your arrival. This gives you ample time to receive the QR codes and handle any issues.
  • Latest: You must complete it before you board your flight to the Dominican Republic. Airlines will typically check for your E-Ticket QR code at check-in or the gate. It’s safest to have it done the day before.
  • Do Not Fill Out Too Early: The form is tied to your specific flight and date. Filling it out more than 30 days in advance is usually not possible or advisable, as details might change.

Important Process Details

  1. One Form Per Traveler: Every passenger (including infants and children) needs their own separate E-Ticket.
  2. Two QR Codes: After submission, you will receive two QR codes via email:
    • One for Entry (to present upon arrival in the DR).
    • One for Exit (to complete 72 hours before your departure from the DR).
  3. Save Digital & Print Copies: Have the QR codes readily accessible on your phone and consider printing a paper backup. You will need to show them multiple times (airline, immigration, possibly at your hotel or airport for departure).
  4. Official Website: Use only the official government portal to avoid scams and fees: https://eticket.m
