some travel agents may have them... Or maybe in the airport before you leave for DR...

To save time, I never fill-out the tourist card. I just get it stamp and walk out. That’s a rookie mistake. I hope non of you veterans are filling the card out.

You can request a card when you check in at the airport prior to leaving. It's $1 more though than it would be if you buy it in the DR.

Most of the time they dont fuck with you on that one... but a couple of times they tell me to fill out something...

I know the last time there, they gave me the paper and stamped it, and I filled nothing out.

It's not really that I think that it is a big deal to get a tourist card when landing in DR, but any minute saved when on a short vacation in DR counts...
Has anyone tried to get a tourist card at the airport when leaving from MIA with AA and/or when leaving from FLL with Spirit Air?
Anyone who knows any travel agent in the Miami area where you can get a tourist card?

I usually buy 2 at a time and when I see there are no lines I buy another one. Last time I was on line for 30 minutes and that was the longest amount of time ever in Puerto Plata,

Hey Jimmy. Very smart of you to pruchase it ahead of time. I made a newbie mistake in my last trip. I thought they sold the toursist cards in the airplane. Dumb of me. lol
This time, when I get off, I am ready to go pass customs and immigration in three minutes! :twisted:

Since we all know that we can purchase a tourist card at the ticket counter, after our trip, let's post how many minutes it took you to go through customs and immigration.
My goal is five minutes. :twisted:

Hey Jimmy, sorry to hear that. Same here, it took me around half an hour. :(
There was a long line ahead of me for both the tourist card and the currency exchange rate place.
But next time, for you and me, it will take only 5 to 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!! 8)
Fastest time for me was 10 minutes.
