Document Checklist

THE shortcut: hold a valid MULTIPLE-ENTRY US, Canada, UK, or Schengen visa? You can skip this entire process and buy a tourist card on arrival — confirmed on the Dominican Embassy New Delhi's own site. Most Indian travelers to the Caribbean already qualify.
No exemption visa? The sticker visa is $100 USD single entry, and the embassy warns processing can take up to 21 working days — don't book non-refundable tickets before approval.
The single-entry tourist visa is valid 60 days from issue with a 30-day stay, extendable at the Department of Migration in the DR (typically up to 60 more days).
Meeting all documentary requirements does NOT guarantee approval — the embassy states this explicitly on its checklist.
VFS centres: New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru. Logistic fee ₹500 in these cities, ₹1,000 elsewhere.
