The rest of the trip for a Malaysian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Dominican Republic entry requirements.
The details for a Malaysian passport.
Visa-exempt with tourist card (baseline; DR's official per-nationality list is behind an interactive MIREX lookup that could not be read). Tourist card USD 10 (in the airfare for air arrivals) plus the free e-Ticket for both entry and exit. Standard stay is 30 days; extend up to 120 days at DGM or pay an overstay fine on departure. You need a return/onward ticket, funds and an address. Passport: 6 months from arrival (some nationalities have a tourism exemption until 31 Dec 2026).
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.
