Can you tell me what website has the electronic e-ticket file?

Spanish might be better than English

Windeguy you are correct. there is no legal form to extend beyond  120 days. 

Lets hope that the current gov't is working on this. And you are right, how much can they do all at once? We are in a pandemic still. We are facing  huge  challenges.   Lets see what they do!

The maximum stays vary from country to country and is a reciprocity system, for example travelers from Argentina to Dominican Republic can stay up to 90 days.  In 2017 I visitted Argentina for 11 days, at arrival officer wrote in my passport 20 days,  we flew to Iguazú to visit the water falls then we decided to go by bus to Paraguay and when we returned next day to Argentina the officer wrote in my passport 90 days, so I also think they should come with the option of 6 months extention wich the countries that let Dominicans also stay 6 months.   Also I know there are some agreement with countries that let dominicans stay as limit of 180 days max, but this amount of days must be split during 12 months.

The new agreement with Brasil that will be effective in few months as was already aproved by Brazilean congress will let Domicans travel to Brazil for a Max of 60 days and can be extended for another 60 more days, so the same thing must be applyed to Brazilean traveling to Dominican Republic as they are are doing as reciprocity for tourist and bussines travelers.  Also the agreement state that Both countries citizents do not pay entering fees. Mean the 10 dollars tourist card, same agrement we have with Argentineans and I guess also with Peruvians if Im not wrong.

Every time I travel to Mexico with my Mexican visa they always wrote 180 days  in the inmigration form they give to you to return it to them in the checkin for your return flight.  If you loose that form you can not board the plane and you know what comes after that, problem and pay a fine, maybe we are going that way enforcing the laws wich is good and time that we do it, Im sorry for those that love to overstay but always is smart to do the correct now that they are giving tools to extend your stay make plans for 120 days.

WillieWeb is correct.  However there are plenty of other beautiful islands which don't give you these problems.  Many allow you stay up to 6 months or more by paying a monthly fee-simple and easy.

I dont believe you are correct in your statement that plenty of other islands allow 6 months stay.  A google of Caribbean entry requirements says otherwise for UK citizens. 30 day on entry or 90 days is the most common. If you are not holding a UK, USA, Canadian or EU passport you options will be worse.

DR is a cheap destination, is not yet penalizing overstay as other Caribbean islands do without tolerance and now offers easy online 90 day extensions.lo

This is a better deal than having to travel within islands and wait your turn to get your 30 or 90 day entry stamp extended.

And it is a beautiful country too.

I personally dont expect any tourist stay changes from what we now have. The recent approach to Venezuelans residing here illegally due to their domestic situation sets a precedent imo - a temporay residency, as does the proposal to use what has been in the immigration law but never used for border Haitian residents who cross to trade daily. I think this government will apply the current law and adapt the regulations of application.

The online e ticket is being used now. They scan the code before you leave though it has many locations missing. This is separate from the customs check.

Airport was busier than I have seen it than in many months.

Seems like my response was misinterpreted.  Allor, Part 1) I agreed with your approach on the re-entry.

Part 2) Your comment:  If only people would be willing to follow the laws of their host country, it probably would avoid issues that have landed foreigners into trouble.

My take on this statement is in general,  you are implying that if foreigners would follow the rules of this country that they would avoid issues that have landed them in trouble.  Here is where I disagree, not about following the rules, we all know that and do that.   Myself more than most.  My comment is that even when you do, you can end up in a great deal of trouble in this country.  In fact in more trouble than if you break the rules.  IMHO.

When in Rome do as the romans do...isn't that the rule?  Some Dominicans don't play by the rules or laws of this country.

Maybe that is clearer for some...  As you know, I call a spade a spade.

No one is suggesting Dominicans do not break their own rules.

As foreigners we are guests here and should be following the rules.  This forum and this site say follow the laws whether you agree with them or not.

About the period of time to stay vary depends on the agreement between countries, the usual is to have reciprocity but we are not a rich country and a lot jobs depends on tourist entries.  The maximun I have seen in the agreements that let citizents stay in foreign country is 180 days but this can not exced the stay in 12 months, and the most common is 90 days.   As I sad in my  previous comment putting as example the recent agreement between Brazil and Dominican Republic that state Dominicans can visit Brazil for a period of 60 days and can be extended for another 60 days during a period of 12 months, and Brazileans are weived to pay the entrance fee of  the 10.00 dollars for tourist card to visit DR and Dominicans also are weived to pay the entrance fee to Brazil.   This is not so simple than just say come and stay for 6 months, all is rulled by the ministery of int affairs of each country.    The correct response should be that Dominicans has the same treatment with VISA Free entrance to all the countries that can come freely here but we are not rich and we need to keep and generate dollars to suport our economy and can not demand UK, USA, European Union to lets Dominican travel freely.  Brazilean goverment stated all that is in reciprocity and other points.

One thing for sure is when finally the form start to be mandatory, in 7 more days because was extended again for 4th time according to DGM problems in STI with a lot people arriving without the form now they will have a lot information for statitics, whe came and when, for how long, and if make any stop to arrive here, way faster than before.

An agreement for. Dominicans to visit elsewhere is not what this discussion is about.

I kow, but Im refering that to point because all desitions made in a big percent is based in reciprocity and all those decitions has previous agreement between countries,   goverments wants if some body wants to have long stay apply for recidency,  long stay is not important for Dominican Republic.

Actually they are not made on reciprocity at all. Americans come here easily. Dominicans struggle to get to the USA.

Struggle is understatement.

And we can not demand it as we are not rich and we need the tourist.

It is unbalanced and not necessarily fair!

Or you can do what I am doing...apply for temporary residency and then you can visit and go back and forth as often as you like with no problems.

In what way is that different from a regular residency application?  Any easier/quicker?

Everyone starts pretty much the same. Temporary residency then you "graduate" to permanent. Which of course is not permanent. And you can apply for citizenship once you qualify.

Not renew, extend up to a total of 120 days which can be done one time: 

This is the site for the "staying extension" for staying up to 120 days legally in the DR:

This is the info on extending your tourist visa up to an additional 90 days (120 days total)

30 days PLUS a 90 day extension = 120 days total
