No visa needed — but don't skip the return ticket
Immigration officers at Douglas-Charles Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have your return or onward ticket ready on your phone or printed. Without it, you could be denied entry.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you travel. Airlines may also refuse boarding if your passport doesn't meet this requirement.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Dominica (Douglas-Charles Airport)
After landing, follow signs to Immigration. Join the queue for non-Caribbean visitors. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp you in for up to 21 days. No forms to fill out beforehand.
2
Present documents at the counter
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you're leaving. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport and you're done.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to Customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Walk through Customs — green channel if you have nothing to declare, red if you do. No arrival declaration form is needed.
