Launch of the Dominican Online ED Card
Dominica has taken a step forward in modernizing its immigration procedures with the official launch of the Online Embarkation and Disembarkation Card.
A new digital ED Card system aims to make entry and exit procedures easier for international and local travelers, speed up border security, as well as improve the overall visitor experience.
The Embarkation and Disembarkation Card for Dominica isn’t a new document – it’s always been required from travelers, but in the past, they had to fill it out in a paper form. The electronic solution is not only more convenient, but also eco-friendly.
Completing the Dominica ED Card
Travelers to and from Dominica, whether nationals, residents, or foreign visitors, can complete their immigration details online before traveling. They should register for the ED Card within 3 days before arrival or departure.
Completing the online form is a simple process, requiring only basic travel details, personal information, and health details.
It’s also necessary to provide the address of the accommodation in Dominica.
Before submitting the form, it’s best to double-check the provided data if it’s free of any spelling errors which could cause issues.
With the approval message, travelers receive a QR code to present it to immigration officers, significantly reducing waiting times at border checkpoints.
Convenience of Digital Solutions
Officials from Dominica’s Immigration and Border Services emphasize the importance of introducing the digital ED Card system. This move should strengthen national security and make the travel experience even more convenient.
With this upgrade, Dominica joins a growing list of Caribbean countries embracing smart travel solutions. Moreover, the launch of the online ED Card reflects the island’s commitment to innovation.
