Work visas, contracts and tourist entry
Two certifications
A foreigner who applies for a work visa needs a job offer and certification that the company is registered in SIRLA. The Ministry of Labour answers in 15 working days. The service is for businesses. Check the rules for your passport.
Register within 3 days
The Ministry of Labour registers the contracts of foreign workers. The employer sends the contract within 3 days of signing. The ministry gives a response time of 10 working days. This applies to the NM1, VTT and RS visas. Check the rules for your passport.
Not a work visa
A tourist needs a passport valid for 6 months, an air, sea or land ticket of entry and return, an address in the Dominican Republic and proof of funds. Nationals of the EU, UK, Canada, US, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador need only a passport valid for the stay. That measure runs to 31 December 2026 and is for tourist purposes only. Commercial flights also need the free online E-TICKET form. Check the rules for your passport.
