It takes me about 4 clicks but I eventually get a screen where I list my address in the campo. Until I scrutinized my Edesur bill years back, we didn’t even know we had an address 😂
thanks, I'll give it a closer look next trip.

Same for me when entering STI.
They always scan the QR Code.
I don't know what has changed, but we came in via PUJ on Sunday afternoon, and nobody from customs even wanted to know about us. We had the e-ticket ready and all, and some people were made to queue to the x-ray machine, we looked at the customs guy, he just waved us through, ignoring the e-ticket and all. Only person interested in our e-ticket was the TUI Fly Check-in leaving Amsterdam. Usually customs has scanned the QR codes upon arrival, but not this time.

At the end of the day it's still the Dominican Republic, lol.

In theory, if you boarded the plane, you already had your E-Ticket verified. So there is that.
But hey, tomorrow they might be scanning everyone again.

The only problem I have with the eticket is "where I'm staying". I scroll through all the acceptables and don't find my lodging listed. I've always just picked one that's listed and gotten through but shouldn't there be a "other" or a space where you can actually input your lodging?

The ones listed are registered with the Ministry of Tourism. If yours isn't listed, it probably isn't licensed by MITUR.

I've never ever had the QR code scanned by customs at PUJ. Once or twice I've been asked to show it, but never scanned. My luggage is normally put through the scanner, but they haven't asked me to open it at all in the last couple of years.

There was a Resolution sent to all airlines flying into DR that was totally prohibited to board without the eticket form completed. In Bogota before boarding they announce that people without eticket can not board the flight.

That’s most likely the case given that filling out the eticket means including your name, your passport id number, your flight… Whether or not the eticket is filled probably appears every time they see your info in the computer.

Well, there you have it. There should be no need to check on arrival. The E-Ticket, since it is "E" is already in the system.

Of course they are also supposed to check if you have an on going flight if not a legal resident of the DR and we all know how that goes.

Thanks, I'm aware of this, but as a fact, regardless of this, we have had to let them scan the QR upon arrival in the past. As mentioned, the airline was very strict of the e-ticket on check-in and wanted to see it. They were first confused though as I showed them just one e-ticket-and asked where the ticket for the 3 others. I pointed out kindly that please see the other names written on the lower part of the ticket. They were satisfied and proceeded quickly.

Over the years I remain in amazement over the complexity of modern flight. That, and withdrawing money from an ATM.
Bought my first cell phone a few years ago when it became almost impossible to fly without one. Still almost impossible to fly with one since I don't exactly know how to use a cell phone. They are great for telling the time though.

You and I both got smart phones for such reasons. Had to have one or things became virtually impossible. I get mine as hand me downs from my wife when she upgrades.
