Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Dominica — no 6-month rule applies. Airlines at check-in may still ask for at least 3 months validity, so check with your carrier before flying. | 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 copy or a digital version on your phone ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital hotel confirmation, or a letter of invitation from your host in Dominica. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay — either cash, credit card, or bank statement. Immigration may ask how you plan to support yourself, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Dominica. If it's even a day short, you'll be turned away at immigration. Check your passport now.
