Clearing Dominican Republic Customs

When traveling to Punta Cana, you will receive a tourist card on your flight. Fill it out and make sure you don’t lose it – you’ll need it to exit the Dominican Republic. If you do lose it, they are available at the airport at a cost of $10.

There is a $20 US departure tax to leave the Dominican Republic via the Punta Cana airport. Make sure to keep this much cash so that you don’t slow yourself down trying to get onto your return flight. Note: this Punta Cana departure tax must be paid in US dollars so keep $20 dollars in your pocket. 

Wedding Day Wear


Resort causal normally refers to polo style shirts, sundresses, linen pants, skirts and button up tops. Nothing too fancy, but no t-shirts, sneakers or jeans either. Please do not wear white, red or black. Cool and light clothing recommended.
