Leaving the DR

The forms will be given to you on the flight or you can get one at one of the many desks (blue long form) You fill it out so that it is complete when you go through customs and immigration when you arrive home. Make sure if you declare that you are bringing cigars back that you specifically say DOMINICAN cigars or they will ask you a million questions if you are from the states!

I don't get the question??
What is the point in getting a form ahead of time?!

You can buy your entry fee (tourist card) online and print it out, then you dont have to make a line when you arrive. However there are also machines that produce them.

The forms you need to fill in to arrive and to leave the country (migration and customs), you can fill them before if you want and if you have them. (I don't know why you would want to since it takes less than 2 minutes, but some people want to travel very well prepared).

I travel to Miami with some older people once a year and they come prepared every time with everything filled already at home. (I had a little laugh last year when they proudly came with all their papers filled and there were no custom forms in use since they had ran out of them).

I appreciate this question may have been asked many times but I'm not great with search functions after a few drinks. My wife was wanting to ask a question......the form we fill out before our return flight home, and payment. Can that be done in the UK before we leave or should we just will till we get to our AI?

If memory serves me right we filled in forms on the plane en route to DR last time for entry fees

DR departure forms (Immigration and customs) are completed upon departure from DR either before or after airline check-in but before before going to security, customs, immigration. They are located at most DR airline departure counters or from the DR airline agents. The completed forms are collected as you go thru the respective departure/check points.

There is no "payment" UNLESS you overstayed your tourist card (30 days). Routine departure fees and taxes are included in your airfare.
