Dominica Beach Holidays

Your passport must have an expiry date at least 6 months after the date you arrive in Dominica.

You do not need a visa to visit Dominica and will be granted a stay of 6 months on arrival.

If you want to stay longer than 6 months, you must arrange and pay for an extension with the Dominica Immigration Division.

You may need to show a return or onward ticket at border control.

You must have a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country listed as a transmission risk.

You must declare cash or travellers cheques if the value is 10,000 East Caribbean dollars or more upon entry.

There is a departure tax of 86 East Caribbean dollars or 33 US dollars, which is usually included in your plane ticket but must be paid if travelling by ferry.

Take care when walking alone off main roads, particularly after dark.

Avoid isolated areas, including beaches, after dark.

Take particular care around large gatherings, including street and beach parties, especially after dark or during the festival season.

Ensure your accommodation is secure, which also applies if you're staying on a yacht.

Leave valuables and travel documents in your hotel safe or a safety deposit box.

Take care when swimming as currents can be stronger than they look and not all beaches have lifeguards or warning flags.

It is illegal for anyone, including children, to dress in camouflage clothing.
