Dominican Republic eSIM

Not with a British passport: 30 days visa-free, extendable to 120 days for a fee. Until the end of 2026 your passport only needs to stay valid for the trip itself, the US$20 departure tax is already included in your airline ticket, and you may be asked to show a return or onward ticket.

The Dominican Republic's digital border form — a border form, not your flight ticket. It's free and on the immigration service's website; the QR code it produces is what check-in and the border ask for.

Most travellers don't: WhatsApp keeps working on your existing account. Each plan's details say whether it includes a local number.

Altice, Orange. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.

Yes. Operators here are listed with 4G / 5G; each plan's networks show which.

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.

50 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.

Yes. The listed price is the final price.
