Important Updates For Visa

STEP 1 — Fill Visa Application Form

First download & print the official visa form:

Important while filling

· Use CAPITAL letters

· Black pen only

· Sign exactly as in passport

· “Address in Dominican Republic” → write full hotel address

· “Reference in DR” → write hotel name + phone + email

STEP 2 — Prepare Your Documents (MOST IMPORTANT)

Arrange in this same sequence (embassy actually checks order):

Personal

· Passport (valid 6+ months)

· Old passports (if any)

· 2 photos (2x2 inch, white background, matte)

Financial

· Bank statement – last 6 months (bank stamped & signed)

· Minimum recommended balance: ₹2.5–3.5 lakh

· ITR acknowledgement (last 2–3 years)

Travel

· Flight reservation (dummy ticket acceptable)

· Hotel booking (fully refundable recommended)

· Day-by-day travel itinerary

· Travel insurance (Caribbean coverage)

Work / Business proof

If Job:

· Leave letter

· NOC

· 3 salary slips

· Company ID card copy

If Business:

· GST certificate

· Shop act / registration

· Visiting card

· Company bank statement (very helpful)

STEP 3 — Write Cover Letter

Write a simple letter:

· why you are visiting

· dates

· who is paying

· promise to return to India

(They seriously read this — many rejections happen because of bad cover letter.)

STEP 4 — Take Embassy Appointment

Email the embassy to get appointment:

📧 consularrd@domrepindia.com

Send:

· Passport first page scan

· Travel dates

· Purpose: Tourism

They will reply with appointment date.

STEP 5 — Visit Embassy (In Person Required)

You must personally go here:

Embassy of the Dominican Republic, New Delhi
C-483, Defence Colony, New Delhi – 110024

Timing usually: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (working days)

At embassy they will:

· verify file

· ask few questions

· sometimes short interview

Common questions:

· Why Dominican Republic?

· Any relatives in USA?

· Who planned the trip?

· What work you do?

STEP 6 — Pay Visa Fees

Approx fees: $150–$200 (₹12k–₹16k approx)
(Paid at embassy in INR cash — they give receipt)

STEP 7 — Processing & Passport Submission

After file submission:

· They send file to Santo Domingo (Dominican capital)

· Background verification happens

· Sometimes they call for second interview

⏱ Processing: 15–30 working days

Once approved → they call → submit passport → visa sticker issued (usually 3–5 days).

VERY IMPORTANT (Many people don’t know)

After getting the visa, you STILL must fill the entry QR form before flying:

Without this QR → airline will not board you.

Honest advice (based on real approvals)

Dominican visa approval mostly depends on:

· travel history

· stable income

· strong reason to come back to India

First-time international travelers often get refusal.
