Entry Requirements

Passport:

  • Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond your arrival date.

Visa:

  • Most travelers from the U.S., Canada, UK, EU, Mexico, Central/South America, Japan, and Israel do not need a visa to visit the Dominican Republic for tourism.

Round-Trip Flight Ticket:

  • Airlines must confirm you have a return ticket before allowing you to board.

Proof of Stay and Funds:

  • You may be asked for your Dominican address (Villa Anacaona) and proof you can fund your stay (normal for tourists).

E-Ticket Requirement:

  • All travelers must complete the free E-Ticket Form at eticket.migracion.gob.do before boarding their flight.
  • You can fill it out any time after booking flights.
  • Save or screenshot your QR code — you’ll need it at the airport.
  • Families traveling together can submit one form for up to 7 people.

Good to Know

  • We'll send a full Pre-Arrival Welcome Kit about 1–2 weeks before the wedding with final reminders, your itinerary, and travel tips.
  • You do NOT need to bring pool towels — the villa provides them!
  • Keep jewelry and valuables minimal — it’s best to travel light.

Quick Packing Pro Tip:

Pack your swimsuit, a change of clothes, and essentials in your carry-on just in case your luggage is delayed!

That way you can jump straight into vacation mode without worry.
