Dominican Republic launching digital platform to streamline passenger processing
The Dominican Republic will roll out a new digital platform to streamline air travel procedures.
It will adopt a new electronic system with digital versions of the Traveler’s Health Affidavit, the Customs Declaration and International Boarding/Disembarking forms.
Passengers entering and leaving the country are required to fill out and upload the forms via the new Electronic Ticket Portal either before or on arrival in the country.
It hopes the new system will increase efficiency at airports and speed up immigration, customs and health screening procedures.
"A single digital registration form to enter and leave the country is the result of enhanced collaboration between different government entities to facilitate and further improve the migration process," said David Collado, Minister of Tourism.
"By condensing three forms into one and using contactless technology it also allows the Dominican authorities to access information in real time on the arrivals and departures of passengers."
The new digitized system comes into effect on 29 November, 2020.
