Overview
Dominica has introduced the Dominica Online Immigration and Customs Portal, a centralized government platform for submitting mandatory entry declarations. The portal, now the only official channel for completing immigration and customs forms, streamlines pre-arrival procedures for travelers.
The government confirmed that no fees apply to submitting the online ED card. By consolidating the process into a single secure platform, Dominica aims to simplify compliance and reduce the risks of fraud. Authorities also issued a strong warning against third-party websites or services that claim to process immigration forms on behalf of travelers. Such services may lead to misinformation, unnecessary costs, or delays in processing.
This initiative reflects Dominica’s commitment to modernizing border management and improving traveler confidence through secure, government-controlled digital systems. The portal also aligns with broader regional trends toward digitized entry procedures.
Looking Ahead
Travelers to Dominica should ensure they complete immigration and customs declarations only through the official online portal to avoid complications. Employers coordinating international assignments should update travel guidance for employees to reflect this requirement. Additional enhancements may follow as Dominica expands its digital entry management framework.
