Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration at Douglas-Charles Airport checks for a return or onward ticket before clearing you. A printed or digital copy of your flight booking works — no need to have it notarized. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Immigration rarely asks for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 500 USD for the trip. Officers rarely request it, but it's a standard requirement under Dominica's immigration rules. | Recommended |
