Swedish passport holders can visit Dominica without a visa for up to 180 days per entry. This policy is in effect for 2025 and applies to tourism, business, and short-term stays. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Swedish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Dominica. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by Dominican law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration officers at Douglas-Charles Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Dominica. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Immigration may ask how you plan to fund your trip — a few hundred USD in cash or a card with available credit is usually enough. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Dominica, not from your departure date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go.
No visa-free extension beyond 180 days
You cannot simply overstay. If you need more time, apply for an extension at the Immigration Department in Roseau before your 180 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
