All travelers entering or departing the Dominican Republic must complete the digital e-ticket (formerly called "E-Ticket Migratorio"). This replaces the paper immigration, customs, and health card.
The $10 tourist card fee that was previously collected on arrival has been absorbed into the e-ticket system. Most nationalities no longer pay it separately.
March through April is peak dry season — expect sunny weather and low humidity. Ideal conditions for beach travel.
