Dominican Republic migration card sample filling. Dominican Republic migration card
So, you have arrived in the Dominican Republic, most likely at the Punta Cana airport. You need to find a "tourist card" vending machine. It has the corresponding inscription “tourist cards” or “tarjeta del tourista” (this is in Spanish). We buy this document in it. A $ 10 bill is better to stock up in advance.
Even if you go first, you will still be waiting for all other travelers near the bus. You have a group transfer, everyone is waiting for the very last person to go to the hotel.
You can also choose in which currency to pay, or 10 dollars, or 10 euros. Just in case, if you do not have an American currency, but you have a European currency, you can pay with it.
After that, the “tourist card” must be filled in, which causes difficulties for many, since there are no inscriptions in Russian in it. All explanatory notes are in English and Spanish. The fact that it's not free is even more daunting. There are people at Punta Cana airport who will fill it for you for a modest $ 5.
The form of the document changes often and, perhaps, you will receive in your hands a copy that is not exactly the one we are giving.

The map has two parts. The upper (large) one will be taken from you when passing through passport control. The second (lower) will be left to you and you should keep it for the rest of the trip.
The procedure for filling in the upper part of the tourist card to the Dominican Republic. Click on the photo to enlarge.
First column (1) intended for your last name... Rewrite exactly from your foreign passport in Latin letters. For example, "IVANOV"
In the second column (2) enter your name just like in the passport. For example, “IGOR”.
Third line (3) intended for your date of birth... We write first the day, then the month and then the last two digits of the year. An example is “16 06 83”.
On the fourth line (4) need to write your citizenship... Write “RUSSIA” or “RUSSIAN”.
In one of the squares at number five (5) you need to check the box indicating what's your gender... Don't be confused, the top square is a man and the bottom is a woman.
Sixth Line (6) write your passport number... Rewrite from your passport. The space between the series and the number can be left or not. As you wish. An example is “76 984562”.
On the seventh line (7) enter your flight number... An example is “SU152”.
Eighth field (8) - this is country of your residence... Write “RUSSIA”.
In the ninth field (9) need to write your permanent address... Nobody will check the spelling, write whatever you want. Example “Moscow, ulitsa Stroiteley, 25-17”.

Tenth field (10) seems mysterious to many. This is clarifying information about region of your residence... Americans write the name of their state here. You can write “Samarskaya oblast” or “Moscowskaya oblast” or simply “Moscow”.
In the eleventh column (11) you need to provide the name and address of your hotel. Write hotel name only, there will be no complaints against you.
Twelfth Earl (12) - your occupation... Write “worker” or “manager”, nobody will check.
Field number thirteen (13) - marital status... Left square - not married (not married), right - married (married).
Number fourteen (14) need to indicate purpose of your visit to the Dominican Republic. Check the box in the top left box. It means "rest." Of course, the Dominicans translated the Spanish word “recreo” into English in a peculiar way. The English word “pleasure” literally translates as “pleasure”.
The picture on the left shows a correctly completed “tourist card”. You can use it as a reference.
Fifteenth line (15) misleads many with its Spanish name “FIRMA”. The main thing is not to write here the name of the company in which you work! Here you need put your signature.
And in the last sixteenth column (16) you need to indicate how many days will you stay in the Dominican Republic.
![](https://i1.wp.com/jj-tours.ru/articles/images3/dominicana-visa-5s.jpg)
The bottom part is filled in a little differently. Fields (1), (2), (3) and (4) exactly the same, this surname, first name, date of birth and citizenship.
In the fifth column (5) need to indicate your departure destination from the Dominican Republic. That is, we indicate the city to which we will fly back. Write “MOSCOW”, “SAINT-PETERSBURG” or “EKATERINBURG”.
In the sixth column (6) write return flight number home.
On the seventh line (7) write date of departure from the country... That is, the day, month and year when you will fly from the Dominican Republic.

See the photo on the left for an example of the correct filling of the second part of the “tourist card”. Click on the photo to enlarge.
You keep this part with yourself and keep it until your departure from the Dominican Republic to your homeland. You will need to present it at passport control. Better just put it in your passport so as not to lose it.
Most importantly, don't put it in your luggage. This is the most common problem situation, as baggage is checked in before passport control.

The Dominican Republic is a country open to the world. As in previous years, a visa to the Dominican Republic for Russians in 2020 will not be needed if they decide to spend their holidays on the Dominican Republic beach. Tourists choose a vacation on the island of Haiti, the eastern part of which is occupied by the Dominican Republic, not only because of the availability of travel, but also because the tourist season in the Dominican Republic lasts 12 months a year. It is good for recreation all year round.

Visa-free entry to the Dominican Republic
Russian citizens can visit the Dominican Republic without first obtaining a visa if they are entering for tourism purposes. But tourists from Russia, but who have citizenship of Belarus or Kazakhstan, will need to apply for a visa in advance at the Embassy.
To relax on the paradise beaches of the Dominican Republic, you must follow these rules:
- Purchase a travel voucher;
- Issue a special card;
- Have a return ticket.
For tourists, the Dominican Republic is open for 30 days, then the term can be extended for another month or two, at will... However, the absence of the need to apply for a visa to stay in the Dominican Republic for a Russian does not mean that a foreign citizen does not need registration. It is also important to consider that the passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure from the country.
To register, a Russian tourist must fill out a migration card, which is often issued on the plane during the flight, pay tax levy and contact your local migration control office. You need to apply to the same department to extend the time of stay in the country.
