If you are going to relax in the Dominican Republic, then you are probably thinking about the necessary set of things that you will take with you. In this country, clothes and shoes are quite expensive, and there are not very many good shopping centers there. Therefore, think in advance what to take to the Dominican Republic for a comfortable stay.
What clothes and shoes you need
The choice of clothing depends on the region you wish to visit. In mountainous areas, you will need warm clothing. As the distance from the mountains increases, the climate becomes warmer. In this case, only light things will come in handy. Bring clothes with you that do not require ironing. Many hotels in the country often have problems with electricity. You will need things made of light and natural materials (T-shirts, shorts), a Panama hat, a windbreaker in case of bad weather. You do not need to take a lot of clothes, since in practice most of the things remain in the bag. For a vacation in the Dominican Republic, you will need clothes that do not hinder your movement and provide good air exchange. In it, you can easily endure extreme heat. For shoes, you will need flat sandals or sandals for walking, as well as shoes designed for the hotel.
Documents required for travel
Russian citizens do not need a visa to the Dominican Republic. You will need a tourist card issued at the border. For a tourist card, you must provide documents:
- international passport and its photocopy;
- confirmation of solvency (at the rate of $ 1000 per person);
- color photographs - 6 pieces;
- for a child - a birth certificate;
- marriage certificate, if any.
When it comes to money, it is best to take cash with you. Change them into small bills in advance. In the Dominican Republic, the ATM network is poorly developed.
Necessary medicines
Take antipyretic and pain relievers on the road. In the Dominican Republic, these drugs are sold by prescription. A sharp change in climate has a negative impact on human health. Therefore, many tourists immediately experience cold symptoms upon arrival. Also, put antibiotics, eye drops, and medication for indigestion in your medicine cabinet. A bandage, ointment for bruises, iodine or hydrogen peroxide will also come in handy. Be sure to bring sunburn protection.
Beachwear
The tourist must have clothes for swimming: swimming trunks or a swimsuit. It is better for women to take not only an open but also an indoor swimsuit with them. It is necessary for the first days of rest, to protect the body from the burning sun. Don't forget a light beach bag, swimming goggles, beach flip-flops, sunglasses. If you are resting with a child, then he will need an inflatable ring or a swimming vest. In the Dominican Republic, such things are expensive.
