Visiting the Dominican Republic: Irish citizen → Dominican Republic
✅
No visa needed — short tourist visit
Ireland passport holders are on the Dominican Republic's official visa-exempt list for tourism: enter with a valid passport and the free digital e-ticket — the former separately-paid US$10 tourist-card tax is included in the air fare. Confirm your passport on the official list before travelling.
The bottom line
- Every traveller — any nationality, entering or leaving — must complete the free digital e-ticket (eticket.migracion.gob.do) and show its QR code; it replaces the old paper migration, customs and health forms. It is free: use only the official portal.
- Since 28 April 2023 all foreign passengers must show an entry AND exit (onward/return) ticket.
- Visa-free entry is for tourism only and admits a 30-day stay; to stay longer you pay an extension (prórroga) fee to the Dirección General de Migración, online or at the airport. Business trips need a Business visa (NS/NM) instead.
- Your passport must remain valid throughout your stay and departure; check whether a 6-month minimum validity applies to your passport before you book.
