This page covers a direct flight to Dominica. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short airside layover. Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
No visa required for entry to Dominica. Stays of up to Freedom of movement for OECS states; ID card valid are permitted under the visa-waiver agreement.
If you qualify as a CARICOM Skilled National under one of the 15 approved categories, you can enter for an initial 6-month period with the right to work, with the stay becoming indefinite once immigration verifies your Certificate of Recognition of Caribbean Community Skills Qualification. The 15 categories are: University Graduates, Artistes, Musicians, Media Workers, Sportspersons, Nurses, Teachers, Artisans (CVQ Level II+), Holders of Associate Degrees, Domestic Workers, Agricultural Workers, Beauty Service Practitioners, Barbers, Private Security Officers, Aviation Personnel. If you hold a Skills Certificate, carry it (and any supporting qualification documents). Apply for the certificate in advance through the relevant ministry in your destination state if you don't have one yet.

Bring a return/onward ticket (most non-BBC4 destinations require it) and a passport valid for the duration of your stay. To stay longer or work, see the Skilled National option above.
CARICOM free movement is your legal right, but airline check-in is the common failure point — agents are trained on standard visa rules, not regional treaties. Carry your CARICOM citizenship documentation and a printout (or open this Travel Brief on your phone) referencing the specific article — Article 45 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas for the general right of free movement, Article 46 for the Skilled National right, or the 2025-10-01 Enhanced Cooperation declaration for BBC4-internal travel.
You're travelling to Dominica (DM). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Your AG citizenship gives you free movement to this destination — no visa, no entry conditions, no return-ticket requirement. Bring your passport (some OECS borders also accept a national ID), and at the immigration counter ask for the OECS / freedom-of-movement line if there is one.
OECS free movement is your legal right, but airline check-in is the common failure point: agents are trained on visa rules, not regional treaties, so they sometimes refuse boarding or ask for a return ticket you don't actually need. Carry a printout of your OECS citizenship and the OECS Commission's free-movement page (or open this trip's Travel Brief on your phone) so you can hand over a single source if pushed back.
