Effective December 6, 2021 all air travelers 2 years and older are required to show a negative pre-departure COVID-19 viral test taken the day before they board their flight to the United States, regardless of vaccination status or nationality. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.
All guests can get this test at Laboratorio Cubanor in Puerto Plata — Antigen test for COVID is $45 or 2500 peso RD — takes one hour for the results — all guests from Blackbeards will be taken care of right away.
If you recently recovered from COVID-19, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (i.e., your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country, and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).
Currently it is not necessary to present vaccination cards, or negative tests for COVID-19 to enter the Dominican Republic. Neither are these requirements necessary to be in hotels, or to take excursions. Random tests are carried out at the airports upon entry to the country.
The Dominican Republic has ended all COVID-19 public health restrictions, including a mask mandate and vaccine checks in public spaces.
