You have 2 options for filing your Form I-131 application with USCIS: Online (only available for certain application types); or. By mail (on paper).
All passengers are required to fill out an E-Ticket or paper form when entering or exiting the Dominican Republic. If using E-Ticket, a new form is required for each entry and exit and the code generated upon form completion can be presented at the airport on a digital device.
The process of obtaining an electronic ticket for the Dominican Republic starts by filling out an online form. This new digital passenger entry form has been available since November 29, 2020, and can be filled out any time from one week before your arrival up until just before you go through immigration.
Travelers need a QR Code to enter Dominican Republic, which is generated through the government's e-Ticket platform. This system makes entering the Dominican Republic easier by combining customs, immigration, and health forms into one QR Code. Travelers show this code at the security check-ins when they arrive.
Passports and visa: U.S. citizens must have a valid U.S. passport to enter Dominica. No visa is required for stays less than 6 months if you have an onward or return ticket, confirmation of accommodation, and can produce evidence of your ability to maintain yourself.
Ing to USCIS data from 2023, the average processing time for Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) varies between 3 to 7 months, depending on the service center handling the case and the specific category (e.g., refugee travel document, re-entry permit).
You must fill in an entry and exit form before arriving in and leaving the Dominican Republic.
Before, the earliest you could apply for your eTicket was 72 hours before your travel date. This regulation has since changed; the eTicket can be filled out as soon as you have your flight information, even months in advance. There's no specified expiration time for the QR code once it has been generated.
