Visa Requirements
Visa Requirements:
The Tourist Card is an entry fee charged by the Dominican Republic for those who visit the country for tourism purposes. It can be obtained directly upon arrival in the airport for $10 USD or Euros with presentation of a valid passport (some airlines have been including this in their ticket price). The tourist card is valid for a stay of 30 days in the country.
Any visitor who has stayed in the country longer than 30 days (including 31 days) must pay the departure tax at the airport when they leave the country. Your passport will be reviewed by customs officials according to last entry into the country, you will be directed to a separate line to pay the appropriate taxes based on length of overstay, and should receive a receipt for your payment.
The current overstay fees in 2019 are as follows. Note that the timeframe below indicates how many days and months one has stayed past the allowed 30 days.
1 day to 3 months - 2,500 pesos
3 to 9 months - 4,000 pesos
9 months to 1 year - 5,000 pesos
1 to 1.5 years - 6,500 pesos
1.5 to 2 years - 8,000 pesos
2 to 2.5 years - 9,500 pesos
2.5 to 3 years - 11,000 pesos
3 to 4 years - 16,000 pesos
4 to 5 years - 20,000 pesos
6 years - 30,000 pesos
7 years - 40,000 pesos
8 years - 50,000 pesos
9 years - 60,000 pesos
10 years - 70,000 pesos
The conversion rate in USD is calculated using the current daily rate from the BanReservas.
Summer camp volunteers typically stay a total of 5 weeks in the Dominican Republic, and thus will need to be prepared to pay $2,500 pesos (approximately $50 USD) upon departure. Payment of the departure tax is the responsibility of the volunteer and is not covered by DREAM Project. Volunteers should note that these costs are significantly less than the costs for processing a visa for short-term stays in most countries.
