The rest of the trip for an Indian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Dominican Republic entry requirements.
The details for an Indian passport.
Visa required (baseline and Wikipedia; DR's per-nationality list is behind an interactive MIREX lookup that could not be read). WAIVER (official, MIREX citing Decreto 691-07): holders of permanent residence in, or a valid multiple-entry visa from, the US, Canada, the UK or the EU Schengen area may enter for tourism with just a valid passport and a tourist card (USD 10). The MIREX page states no nationality exclusions, but confirm with your airline. Stay 30 days, extendable as for other visitors. Otherwise a consular tourist visa is needed.
How long it must be valid.
Standard rule: valid for at least 6 months from arrival (US State Dept, travel.gc.ca). Temporary exemption until 31 Dec 2026: Canadian and British passport holders visiting for tourism may enter with a passport valid for the length of the stay; other purposes still need 6 months. The State Dept page (Aug 2025) mentions no exemption for US citizens. Cruise passengers who come ashore without 6 months' validity pay an escort fee of about USD 125 a day.
