Check your phone coverage abroad

INFO

You're travelling to Dominican Republic (DO). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.

US travel advisory: Dominican Republic — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)

INFO

The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Dominican Republic: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-06-12). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.

Malaria-endemic destination: Suriname (SR) and Dominican Republic (DO)

INFO

Your itinerary touches Suriname (SR) and Dominican Republic (DO), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.

Fill out Dominican Republic eTicket before you fly

WARN

Dominican Republic (DO) requires every traveller to submit the Dominican Republic eTicket for entry and exit — best done a few days before departure rather than in the airport queue. Without it, expect to be pulled aside at the border or denied boarding. Apply at: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do

Bring proof you'll leave Dominican Republic

INFO

Dominican Republic's entry rules ask for proof you'll leave the country, but visa-waiver / ETA travelers like you usually get waved through without check-in agents looking. Have a screenshot of your return flight (or any onward ticket) on your phone in case they do — answers the question instantly.

Bring a Yellow Fever certificate for Dominican Republic (DO)

INFO

Because you're flying in from Suriname (SR), Dominican Republic (DO)'s entry rules require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. The standard document is the yellow WHO Yellow Card (ICVP) signed by the clinic that vaccinated you. If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons a physician-signed exemption letter is the alternative — both check-in agents and border officers vary in how strictly they accept exemptions, so plan for the strictest reading. Add your YF status to your profile for guidance specific to your situation.
