Question: What do you do if you've completed the form online ahead of time, and you flight gets changed.

In my experience of all things Dominican, anyone in "customer service" delights in telling you that you need to have done something before you came and even though you've waited an hour, they cannot help you. Edeeste, Claro, DGII, Ayuntamiento, Migracion, all of them exactly the same. A form you need, something you should have done online, something that you should have done months ago which nobody told you to do, but now it's a huge problem. If things can be made as complicated as possible, that's always best. And everything takes three or four trips to an office to sort out. "Bueno mi amor, ya tenemos un problema". All of us who live here know this is how things roll.

So why should airports and e-tickets be any different?

I don't think it is a big problem if you fill it in and then don't actually fly. I did that in the pandemic, filled in an e-ticket and then didn't travel, and it didn't seem to cause a problem. I just did another one when I actually flew, and it remembered most of my details from the other one.

The diference now is that the Junta de Aviacion Civil who rules airlines here and give the authorizations to fly the routes is who is telling starting Sept 1st. No more papers and tells airlines they have certify before boarding that every body in the plane has the e-ticket.

It will not only be true for those that fly close to the sky, but also for those that arrive through the sea or through official checkpoints along the land border.

Gosh it hadn't occurred to me that this will also apply to Haitians trying to come in. That's sure to have an effect isn't it and make things (even) more difficult for them to get in. I guess that is one of the main points of the e-ticket when I stop to think about it.

Yesterday I traveled domestically in the states and had a few minutes to talk to a good friend behind the counter at JetBlue in Savannah. I asked her about “No boarding”. Her answer was: look, you are on our computer with a reservation. You are going to go BUT not without a e - ticket in some form….phone, tablet, laptop…must have it but one way or another you’re going. So,point is; the answer is yes….BUT….. just do it! Don’t listen to this “paper form crap”.

Hopefully, starting today, we'll get some 'live ' reports from those ariving
I came back yesterday and yes you need the e-ticket. They asked about it in Spain and had to show it when arriving here. That said it was super easy and yeah even though I wrote the wrong flight number it still was ok.

From today's news
===========================

The Migration Agency reminds Dominicans that to leave or enter the country data needs to be filed online. The form is easy to fill out and is available at the Migration Agency website.



Until now, the Migration Agency had allowed people not previously filing the e-ticket to fill out traditional forms upon arrival or departure. This is no longer so, and travelers need to enter their data online.

You mean they stop building the border fence?

Even the current Haitian ambassador to the DR publicly gives his support.

Here is the link for you to fill in the now required E-Ticket the next time you enter or leave the DR:
