Visiting the Dominican Republic: Syrian citizen → Dominican Republic
You need a visa — apply through a Dominican embassy or consulate
Syria passport holders are on the Dominican Republic's official visa-required list: apply for a Tourist visa — TS (60 days, one entry, US$100) or TM (60 days, two entries, US$150) — at the Dominican embassy or consulate serving your place of residence; decisions take 10 to 20 working days.
The bottom line
- Regardless of nationality, holders of permanent residence or a valid multiple-entry visa of the United States, the EU (Schengen), Canada or the UK can enter visa-free for tourism with just a valid passport (Decree 691-07).
- The tourist visa can be used for tourism only — business travellers apply for a Business visa (NS/NM) instead. Applications are received in person or by e-mail and authorized centrally by the Foreign Ministry (MIREX).
- 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.
