Our tourist cards are all the same and we have a child with us.
2 more weeks to go
No need to get visa before you go, when you land you have to fill out a form, one each and pay your money then.
Works out more expensive buying it from DR embassy before you go. We have been twice and never had a problem buying when you arrive.
Have a great holiday.

Thanks for the advice Rhonda much appreciated. Are there a lot of queues for the Visas when you arrive?
No you get your visa's when you land you fill them out when you get in the terminal
You then have to wait around for ages for those who stopped to pick up forms and fill them in before going to passport control.
Sounds good to me! The less hassle the better after a 10 hour flight!
I'm off to DR in July this year. I read somewhere that you can get your entry visas beforehand, so you dont have to stand in the huge queue on arrival (like we did last time!). Is the only place you can get these entry visas on the plane? or can you fill them in and pay for them somewhere in the UK before you leave??
i really want to avoid the queue as i've got 2 small children in tow this year and dont want to have to wait with them in the heat etc!!

Who are you flying with?
I am going in July also but leave on the 17th, I am flying with Thomas Cook, and have been advised that the tourist cards are apart of the price of the holiday, so I will receive them when I get my tickets. Good to find out from your tour operator if they are included first.

we're flying with thomson (and whoever their carrier is!). i'll call today and check before i get them from the embassy), i really want to avoid the queue though!.
where are you staying? we live near london but flying from birmingham (how crazy is that ?) we could save more flying from there for some reason, so we're not complaining!!

Hi Tallulahjemima
This will be our first long haul and I want it to be right.... I have obtained the address and tel number and what we need to send off thanks to HT members, however, this was the beginning of the year.
Are the visas still £8.00 pp each and the address
139, Inverness Terrace
Bayswater
London
My hubby and I have discussed the visas and felt that we may be better off purchasing them before we go on holiday.
We do not go until the beginning of January 07, is it too early to apply for them, is there an expiry date on them
many thanks

no it's not to early to send for them. im sending for mine as soon as my passport comes back and we go oct 2007.
For anyone who wants more info here's a link to the DR Embassy :-

If you are a UK national (or from a lot of other countries as per list) you only need a Tourist card.

Just thought I would let everone know the tourist card have now gone up to £10 when you send for them from the Embassy. Just got mine back I belive they went up on the 1st of July. Hope this helps.
Thank you for that, we were going to send for ours sometime this week.
In the DR the tourist card are $10, which is just over £6.00, so is cheaper out there, they do not take long to fill in neither.

We're off to the Dominican again on the 4th June long way away, I know
Does anyone know the current address of the embassy in England to apply for visas? Also, whats the current price? We did this last year, and it was so much better than waiting til we got to our destination!
Happy new year
