Jordanian passport holders need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic. You must apply in advance at a Dominican embassy or consulate — there is no visa on arrival or e-visa option as of 2026. Plan ahead, as processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Jordanian passport holders need a visa before traveling to the Dominican Republic. Apply at the nearest Dominican embassy or consulate — there is no eVisa option. Processing takes 5–10 business days, and you'll need a valid passport, two passport photos, a completed application form, and proof of onward travel.Check visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight or a ticket to your next destination. If you don't have one, you may be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. Book a refundable ticket if your plans are flexible. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Have a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked itinerary. A simple printout of your reservation works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — bank statements, credit card limits, or cash. The Dominican Republic doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but showing you can cover your stay (around $50–$100 USD per day) avoids questions. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival or e-visa
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or online. You must apply at a Dominican embassy or consulate before you travel. Start the process at least 6 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in the Dominican Republic, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
