Which vaccines are required to enter Dominican Republic?
No vaccines are mandatory, but if you've recently traveled through an area known for Yellow Fever, immigration officials may likely ask for your vaccination certificate.
What is the official currency in the Dominican Republic?
The local currency is the Dominican Peso (DOP), but don't worry if you carry US dollars, as they are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and shops in the tourist area. Even so, it is always advisable to have some Dominican pesos for small purchases or expenses in local places.
Where to exchange money? You will find currency exchange offices and ATMs at Punta Cana International Airport. You can also exchange at hotels and resorts, although rates may be higher. But if you want a favorable rate, we recommend doing so in the city of Higüey and commercial areas, where you will find exchange houses with better rates than at the airport.
Payment Methods During your visit, you can use international credit and debit cards in most hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers. However, for small shops, taxis, or local markets, it is recommended to pay in cash (preferably in Dominican pesos).
