You’re welcome

This is a very helpful video - thank you. I have filled it in today. In case others are interested - It took me 20 minutes (for me and 2 adult sons on the one form) and was not difficult. (i) At the end you are given a QR code which I have printed but you cannot download the whole form you complete so do not have a record of your answers as far as I can see, unless you can log in and retrieve the form but I could not easily see how to do that. That is not a problem as ( just as when you fill customs forms on a plan) e you do not keep a copy of your answers. (ii) You need a flight code not just the flight number. BA my airline send that with your eticket receipt calling it a "booking reference". I had to do a few google searches before I could work out if that booking reference number was the right number/code. I think it is also called a PCR number. You will be completing this form before you have the flight ticket in many cases (eg with my air line we cannot check in until day before and I completed the form 2 days before) so make sure you know that number - a lot of the google searches were saying the number will be on your flight ticket (but I do not have the flight ticket yet). The rest was really easy. you obviously need passport numbers for all those in your group (I did one form for the 3 of us). I just did the form to enter the country, not leave. I believe you have to do another when leaving but I will do that whilst abroad so as not to complicate the system.. The eticket you get at the end says fecha de emision which I had to look up as I was worried it was giving the wrong date of our trip - it gives today's date when I completed the form, not the date we go. However a google search of the Spanish to translate that made it clear that that just means the date filling in the form I am y sure I would have given the correct travel date but as you cannot print the form when you finish it is not easy to check your earlier answers. There may well be a log in to retrieve a copy of your form which I have not bothered to look for. I have kept the code at the start they give you which I believe can be used to log back in but I never needed to use it. I have printed it out and saved it as I do being a very careful person. I have also emailed the QR code eticket to the other 2 of us and printed it 3 times so people have it on phones and paper for when we arrive. It was a very easy process and am not sure why I was worried about it beforehand. It was easier than having to do the form on the plane after a 10 hour flight. In my case in the past that was often when travelling with 5 children and a husband so I had to fill in SEVEN people's information on a cramped seat with children all around me, finding 7 passports on the plane, This new system is much easier to fill in in advance from home before you go.

I am the same poster. Lots of us were not very happy British airways when we boarded in London made everyone complete two forms for each person even though we had done it electronically! They strongly advised it but I think they were just out of date. One man was very cross and I wasn't that happy as the whole point of doing it before is you do not have all that problem on a plane of getting the whole family's passports out, flightnumbers, hotel address, Instead we had the worst of all worlds - doing it before and then yet again on the plane. Anyway we did not want to risk BA knowing something we did not so all followed their advice but on arrival at DR I just showed our eticket QR code and did not hand over nor was asked for paper ones. I now need to decide if we log on whilst away and do it for the return as you are required to do under the DR new eticket system so I suppose I had better.

@@flamingjoe1234567 Just reporting back to everyone - I did early on during the holiday login and do the form for the return too. I did not print it out as no printer but saved it via a photograph of my computer screen. At the DR air port they asked to see it and as I had sent to the family on whatsapp as a picture one of us found it there and showed it (my phone is not good enough for these things and will not even accept the BA app!). So that does illustrate they want to see the QR code/confirmation you have done the form for the return flight too.

Great video explaining departure from US to DR. What about departure from DR? I heard there is a fee to be paid at the airport if you have stayed more than 30 days. Where do I get information about this?

@TheSoloTraveler

Hi Louise and thank you for your support and your question. With the departure, when you initially start, is the same thing, except at the beginning you will select “departure” instead of “arrival”. Regarding the $10, this is a tourist fee charged, usually by the airline when you purchase your ticket and at times at the airport.

For days of stay do you count the day of arrival and departure? If you come in on a Saturday and leave the next Saturday do you write 8 days or 7 days?

And to answer your second question…yes, it replaces all those forms you had to fill on the plane.

Jam, thanks for the question. As far as why we have to fill it? The answer is probably within the government and to keep track of arrivals and departures. If you forget, then you can always do it at the airport by scanning a QR code that they have available. And no, you probably won’t be able to board although I haven’t test that theory.

The Government video says 72 hours before arriving by the way, not departing so if leaving London 10am UK time for example you would need to work out arrival time in the DR and fill it in no more than 72 hours (3 days) before that. So leaving on a Friday morning, arrive Friday afternoon you would be best completing it on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning here in the UK (and I think you can fill in the one you must fill in for your return for which you do not need a code or print out at any time - perhaps even before you leave for your holiday there?)
