Passengers will need to fill out a form for arrival and another one for departure, upon which the system will generate two QR codes that will be scanned by the authorities at the ports of entry and departure. The form can be accessed through the following link: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do. Dominican airports have free internet access so that passengers who did not fill out the form before flying can do so when they arrive in the country.
