Our tips for Dominica
European nationals
For European nationals, entering Dominica is relatively straightforward. EU citizens do not need a visa for a tourist stay of less than 90 days. On arrival, they must present a passport valid for the duration of their stay. It is also necessary to have a return or onward travel ticket to prove the intention to leave the country at the end of the stay.
In addition, the Dominican authorities may request proof of sufficient financial resources to cover the duration of the stay and proof of accommodation booking, whether this be a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from a resident. It is advisable to take out travel insurance to cover medical expenses, although this is not compulsory. Before traveling, it is always prudent to check the latest information and requirements with the Dominican embassy or consulate.
Non-europeans nationals
Entry requirements to Dominica for international nationals vary depending on the country of origin. In general, visitors must present a passport valid for at least six months beyond the planned date of departure. Some countries require a tourist visa, which travelers must obtain before departure. The list of visa-exempt countries is available on the official website of the Government of Dominica.
Travelers must also have a return or onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient financial resources to cover their stay. Proof of accommodation booking, such as a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from a resident, is also required.
Dominica authorities may request vaccination certificates for certain diseases, particularly if the traveler is arriving from a region where these diseases are endemic. Travel insurance that includes medical coverage is strongly recommended. Before planning your trip, always check the latest information with the Dominican embassy or consulate to make sure you meet all the necessary requirements.
Health
For a healthy stay in Dominica, take a few precautions. Drink bottled water to avoid water-borne diseases.

Also make sure you're up to date with your vaccinations before the trip, especially against yellow fever.
Safety
To ensure your safety in Dominica, follow these sound advice. Avoid isolated and poorly lit areas at night. Keep your valuables safe and do not leave them unattended, especially on beaches or in vehicles. Be aware of your surroundings and don't flaunt your wealth.
