It’s my understanding you save the finished form and clearance number as a PDF file. Then print it off or file it for easy access on your phone. You present it to migration entering and leaving. You also need it in Canada to purchase your airline ticket before you head to the DR. I think this will be short lived phenomena. The DR government should have set up automated migration entry machines with a passport scanner at each airport and leave it at that. Paperless entry and an easy menu driven format with a minimum of questions. That may have been a more viable way to go. Common sense doesn’t always prevail especially where government initiatives are concerned.I would be interested in hearing how the resulting E-ticket is presented to the airline and to immigration. I do not yet know how to put the e-ticket onto a phone and display it or if that is even what the authorities want or expect travelers to do.
I doubt very much that this is going away quickly. After CV19 restrictions are loosened sometime in 2022, they might focus more on this.It’s my understanding you save the finished form and clearance number as a PDF file.

An on line snowbird visa would be a dream for me. It’s too logical. Probably never happen.I doubt very much that this is going away quickly. After CV19 restrictions are loosened sometime in 2022, they might focus more on this.
Then they could even have a snowbird visa which can be done entirely on line.
Automated machines present some issues if they wish to collect overstay fees, but those could be worked out within 100 years.
Probably only if they outsource the IT work.An on line snowbird visa would be a dream for me. It’s too logical. Probably never happen.
Thank you, Lou. I'll report back on my progress as I'm returning on 12/30.
One you fil out the form you can download the pdf QR code and save it to your phone or just sign back in to the website and pull up your codeI would be interested in hearing how the resulting E-ticket is presented to the airline and to immigration.

That's funny. Did they really have Daylight savings?Don't worry too much. This will work about the same as when they instituted Daylight Savings time here.
You already have 120 days online extension...online entrance forms...4 months legal stay s nothing to laugh about considering where we were before.. I’m sure if they extend to 6 months or make snowbird visa it will be just as convenient to bring tourism back..An on line snowbird visa would be a dream for me. It’s too logical. Probably never happen.
Precisely Bill and a further incentive for people like me to bite the bullet and purchase property in the DR. Link easy entry to easy pensioner citizenship and DR real estate agents would be very busy.I think that's the idea Eco.....
Like the USA and Canada and Mexico promote the Nexus/Global Entry system..... less personnel, faster service
