Do I need a visa for Dominican Republic?

A visa or travel authorisation is not required for Polish tourists. You board with your travel document only and do not need to obtain any Dominican visa or ETA before travel.

The tourist entry does not permit paid work or study.

Which documents do I need?

You must travel on a passport or a temporary passport; both are accepted. A Polish national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry, except under a temporary simplified rule in force until 31 December 2026 that may relax the six‑month requirement for tourists from many countries, including Polish citizens.

Are vaccinations required for Dominican Republic?

No vaccinations are mandatory for entry to the Dominican Republic.

The source advises getting recommended vaccinations before travel; follow routine and destination‑specific vaccine advice from your healthcare provider.

How long can I stay, and can I extend it?

At the border you may be asked to show a return or onward ticket and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay; have those documents ready for inspection.

Can children travel on this route?

Children under 18 need only the accepted travel documents (passport or temporary passport) for this route. No additional parental consent letters or notarised permissions are required.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is recommended for tourists but it is not listed as a condition of entry.

Frequently asked questions

Can I travel on my national ID or driving licence?

You must hold a passport or a temporary passport. A Polish national identity card or a driving licence is not accepted for entry to the Dominican Republic.

How long must my passport be valid?

The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry, except under a temporary simplified rule that relaxes this requirement until 31 December 2026 for tourists from many countries, including Polish citizens.

Will they ask to see my return ticket?

You may be asked at the border to show a return or onward ticket; border staff can require proof you intend to leave the country.

Do I need to show proof of funds?

You may be asked at the border to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay; hold recent bank statements, cash, or cards to prove you can pay for your trip.

Is there an arrival card or online registration?

You must complete the official electronic arrival/departure registration before travel; registration is completed through the Dominican Republic’s official entry‑registration portal.

Do I have to buy travel insurance?

What documents do children need?

Children under 18 travel on the same accepted documents as adults; no additional parental consent letters or notarised documents are required for minors.

What if my passport is nearly expired?

If your passport is close to expiry, the rule about six months’ validity is the controlling requirement; the simplified rule in force until 31 December 2026 may apply for Polish tourists but you should check your passport validity against that date before travelling.

Who do I contact for consular help?

There is no Dominican embassy in Poland; consular assistance for Polish citizens is therefore limited and the nearest Dominican embassy is located in Panama.

Can I work or study on this entry permission?

The Dominican entry permission does not authorise paid work or study; the tourist entry is for tourism only.

What might get me refused at the border?

Border officers can refuse entry for damaged or unacceptable documents; carry a passport in good condition and any requested proof (return ticket, funds) to avoid refusal at check‑in or on arrival.

Where do I get the visa?
