I have the same question. I have a passport from India and am a green card holder. Let me know if:
1) I can enter the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana) with a Tourist Card? Can I purchase it at the airport?
OR
2) I need a Visa? If so, can I get it at the DR embassy offices in New York and how long it would take?

I found the following pieces information on the net, and wonder what to make of this.

@ http://www.learn4good.com/travel/dominican_visa.htm
All legal residents (green card holders) from the United States of America and Canada can enter the Dominican Republic holding travel documents that substitute their passports.

@ http://www.icupromo.net/santodomingo/sd-traveldocuments.shtml
All legal residents in the United States, Holland, Italy, Canada, Venezuela, Germany, Portugal, Spain, France, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, regardless of their nationality, may enter the country as long as they bear an up to date passport or national identity papers and have purchased a tourist card.

Some friends and I are looking to book an all inclusive cancation this spring. One of my friends has recently been charged with a DUI and has had their license revoked for one year along with a fine. My friend was given a release paper from the court to leave the country. What are the restrictions to entering Dominican? Is there a possibilty that my friend will have problems getting through customs? This is their first and only offense. Could you please provide me with helpful information regarding this matter prior to us booking our vacation. Thank you in advance.

Hi Babs ;

he will not have any problems, The DR doesn't have any way of knowing about the traffic offense , and the immigration authority doesn't really care about that.

you'll only need to pay for the tourist card!! , If you need prices let me know , I' whole saler tour operator.
