Passport: When visiting the Dominican Republic your passport only needs to be valid until the date of your departure. You will find this information at our Visa Section: Consular Services – Visas Visas: European Union Nationals don´t need a visa to travel to the Dominican Republic. They just need to purchase a Tourist Card (tourist tax) when they arrive in an airport or port of the Dominican Republic. If you are traveling with a Tour Operator, we advise you to first check if they already had included the tourist card in your package. To check if your country needs a visa, please visit the following link: Consular Services – Visas Medications: If you need to travel with medication to the Dominican Republic, please check if your medication is covered under the Opium Act. Opiates include sleeping pills, strong pain relievers, ADHD medicines or medicinal cannabis.
