I did not need a Visa when I went to DR for one month. It depends on how long you plan on staying and if you intend on working there. For a short period of time just bring passport and airline ticket.
You'll want to bring your passport and purchase a Tourist Card at the airport before you leave the states for $10US. You'll also pay $10US Exit Fee at the airport before you leave the DR. Working there is another issue. I have no information on that end. ~Sarah
Of course, this assumes you are American. If you're coming to the DR from another country, there may be different requirements. The airline where you purchase your ticket can give you all the up-to-date details.
I am from India, & I will require a visa to enter the DR. but as we do not have a DR embassy in India, how do I get a visa ? Or is the tourist card available on arrival in the DR applicable for all visitors ? Does anyone know which embassy would be looking after the Dr interests in India. Any info. would be appreciated.
Actually, it would probably be a good idea. Then they might be able to hire someone, unlike yourself, who can manage to spell "immigration", "illegally", and "people".
