Visit (visa exemption)：미국 → 도미니카 공화국
US citizens don't need a visa for tourist visits to the Dominican Republic — enter with a valid passport, an onward/return ticket and the free digital e-ticket (the old US$10 tourist-card tax is now included in the air fare); a 30-day stay is granted, extendable for a fee.
Visa-free entry to the Dominican Republic for tourism — nothing to apply for at a consulate; travel with a valid passport, an onward ticket and the free digital e-ticket. The former separately-paid US$10 tourist-card tax is included in the air fare.

The Dominican embassy in Washington confirms that most visitors arriving by air — including citizens of the United States — do not need a visa to enter as tourists. There is no visa and no paper tourist card to buy: the former tourist-card cost is now included in the price of the air ticket.
Carry a passport that stays valid for your whole stay and departure — check whether the 6-month minimum validity applies to your passport — plus your entry and exit (onward/return) ticket, which all foreign passengers must present.
Fill in the Dominican Republic's free digital e-ticket at the official portal eticket.migracion.gob.do — it can be completed from one week before arrival up to the moment before passing Migration, and one form covers a family of up to 7. You fill one for entry and another for exit, each generating its own QR code.
On arrival, show your passport and the e-ticket QR code at Migration and Customs and you are admitted for a 30-day tourist stay. Staying longer than 30 days means paying an extension (prórroga) fee, online or at the airport when you leave.

알아두면 좋은 정보
- Visa-free entry covers tourism only — a business trip needs a Business visa (NS/NM) from a Dominican consulate.
- The e-ticket is completely free on the official portal (eticket.migracion.gob.do) — look-alike third-party sites charge for the same form.
- You fill an e-ticket for entry AND another for exit — two separate QR codes on a round trip.
- Staying beyond 30 days means paying the extension (prórroga) fee to the Dirección General de Migración — online or at the airport when leaving.
- The US$20 exit tax, like the former US$10 tourist-card tax, is already included in your air fare — nothing to buy at the airport.
- Airlines ask for the e-ticket QR code at the check-in counter — complete the form before you get to the airport (it can be done from one week before arrival).
