Visa for Dominican Republic?
I've heard you need a visa or tourist card (even if you're a US citizen and have a valid passport) to go to the Dominican Republic.
Should I get it ahead of time (if so, where?) or should I wait until I get to DR and purchase it at the airport?
Never had to do this before, so any help would be appreciated!
Also - we're staying at the Iberostar Bavaro resort. Ranked #7 out of 95 resorts in the area. Pretty excited 
Any excursion recommendations as well?
Re: Visa for Dominican Republic?
According to the State Department website you can get it beforehand at the Embassy in DC or the Dominican consulate offices (I am not sure where those are located) or you can get it in the airport once you arrive in DR.
I'm sure some of the ladies on this board who have been to DR might have some other info.
We just went last November and it was $10 at the airport. It was fine just getting it there (all they do it give it to you and about 10 seconds later, they shred it).
We stayed at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro, which is right next door to the Bavaro. They are great resorts with a lot of different restaurants available. We didn't do any excursions though, so I can't help you too much there.
Thanks! Very helpful, as always ladies!
emw1023 - how was the food there? I've heard rave reviews and that you get access to all the Iberostar resorts by staying at one. True?
