Info

Upon arrival Immigration Before arriving at the country’s ports, airports or crossing the border, the international regulatory form should be filled out and given handed to immigration authorities upon arrival and departure. Money The monetary unit of the Dominican Republic is the Dominican peso. Its symbol is RD$. The peso is divided into 100 cents. In circulation are coins of 1, 5, 10 and 25 pesos. The currency note is in denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 pesos. When making purchases, remember that all prices are marked in pesos and that you can ALWAYS pay with local money. Knowing the official exchange rate, which is published daily in the newspapers, could make it advantageous for you to pay in American dollars. “Tourism awareness is the understanding of tourism activities and their effects, which translates into responsible and agreeable behavior from the host community and a welcoming attitude and attentiveness toward visitors.” Rita Cabrer 28 As a general rule, you obtain greater security and a more favorable exchange rate at major commercial banks, which are legally required to place the official exchange rate for the day in public view. For your convenience, there are also currency exchange establishments located in most hotels. These are likewise required to place the daily exchange rate in public view the daily exchange rate. Most hotels, restaurants and businesses accept major credit cards, and cardholders are charged the official exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Customs regulations Personal luggage or other personal items generally clear customs without much difficulty. You are entitled to bring 2 liters of liquor, 200 cigarettes, your laptop, and medication under prescription. However, depending on where your flight originated, and on the “tourist sensibility” of the customs officer, you may either be waved through the entire process or undergo a cursory inspection of your luggage, with the full authorization of Dominican law. If you are on a business trip, on vacation or traveling for health reasons, everything will undoubtedly turn out well. If, on the contrary, you are part of a group that is smuggling firearms, explosives, drugs or other illegal substances, you will
probably find yourself face-to-face with an INTERPOL agent.
