Dominican Republic citizens can enter Japan without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Dominican Republic passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Japan applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Japan lets 74 passports in without a visa, issues eVisas to 3 and requires an embassy visa from 120. Dominican Republic citizens are treated the same way as Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil and Canada. Overall the Dominican Republic passport ranks #141 in the world with 31 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a Dominican Republic passport you can also visit 10 countries in the region without a visa, including Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Malaysia, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore and Tajikistan.
In the other direction, Japan citizens can visit Dominican Republic visa-free for up to 30 days.
