Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the 21 days you plan to stay in Dominica. Airlines at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap may ask to see your passport before boarding — they want to confirm it won't expire during your trip. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration at Douglas-Charles Airport will ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines like interCaribbean Airways check this at check-in too — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel confirmation or host's address handy. Dominica's immigration officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked room. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a credit card with available balance. Officers rarely ask, but if you look under-prepared they may question your ability to support yourself for 21 days. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
You don't need to apply for anything before you go. Just make sure your passport is valid for 6+ months and you have a return ticket. That's it.
Overstaying is not an option
The 21-day stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you risk fines and future entry bans. Plan your departure date carefully.
