Step-by-Step Application Process
Check Exemption Rule
Determine if you have a valid multiple-entry visa or residency from the USA, Canada, UK, or Schengen area. If yes, you are exempt from the standard visa process.
Prepare Your Application (If not exempt)
If you don't have the exempted visas, you must apply for a Dominican Tourist Visa. Gather your passport, photos, bank statements, and employment letter.
Apply at the Embassy/Consulate
Lebanon does not have a resident Embassy of the Dominican Republic. You will likely need to apply through a designated consulate (e.g., the Honorary Consulate in Beirut or the Embassy in a neighboring country like Egypt or Turkey).
Pay the Tourist Card Fee
Regardless of visa status, all visitors must pay a Tourist Card fee (usually $10). This is nowadays typically included in the price of your airline ticket, but verify with your airline.
Required Documents
- —Valid Lebanese Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
- —Completed Visa Application Form (if applicable)
- —Recent passport-sized photograph
- —Proof of financial solvency (bank statements, property titles)
- —Flight itinerary and Hotel reservation
- —Letter of Employment
Important Tips
- •The easiest path is to obtain a US or Schengen visa first; this allows you to bypass the complex process of applying for a Dominican visa at a non-resident embassy.
- •The Tourist Card (Tarjeta de Turista) is just an entry tax, not a visa. It is required for everyone entering the country.
- •Check the 'E-Ticket' requirement. The Dominican Republic requires all arriving and departing passengers to fill out an electronic entry/exit form.
- •If applying for the actual visa, the process can take several weeks, so start early.
Easiest Way to Get It
Securing a US (B1/B2) or Schengen (C) visa first, then entering the Dominican Republic using the exemption rule, is far easier than applying directly for a Dominican visa.
