Who Needs a Visit Visa?

Dominica offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry to citizens of many countries for stays up to 21 or 90 days, depending on nationality. However, travelers from countries not included in Dominica’s visa-exempt list must apply for a visa before arrival.

Types of Visit Visas

• Single Entry Visa – Valid for one-time entry into Dominica for a specific period (typically up to 30 days).

• Multiple Entry Visa – Suitable for frequent travelers, allowing multiple visits within a specified time frame, usually valid for up to one year.

• Proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter from a host in Dominica)
