About This Visa

Without a qualifying US/Canada/UK/Schengen document, Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Dominican Tourism Visa before travel. Lodge through the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in New Delhi (jurisdiction also covers Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Maldives), in association with VFS Global / Atlys as the Embassy states. Final approval is by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Santo Domingo.

Payment: bank transfer only to the Embassy DBS INR or USD accounts — ask consular@dominicanembassy.in for details. Completing the checklist does not mean approval — wait for the visa before booking non-refundable travel.
