→ Dominican Republic visa for Canadian citizens

Canadian passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to the Dominican Republic, permitting stays of up to 30 days for tourist purposes. Direct flights departing from major eastern Canadian cities like Toronto or Montreal typically arrive in Punta Cana or Santo Domingo in under five hours, requiring only a minor time adjustment upon landing. While entry is straightforward, travellers should be aware that a standard tourist card, often included in airfare, is generally required for arrival, and the local Dominican Peso (DOP) is complemented by wide acceptance of US dollars in tourist regions. Planning your visit outside the busy winter peak season might offer more flexibility and potentially better travel deals.
