Dominican Republic Entry or Exit Tax?
 
Can anyone tell me the entry or exit tax cost for someone visiting the Dominican Republic? Thanks.

Assuming arrival by air? Isn't the tax included in your plane ticket? I know for Mexico it used to be paid separately, many moons ago, but now is always just a line items I have alreaady prepaid as part of my airfare.

Here is information from the DR Ministry of Tourism site, www.godominicanrepublic.com:

Passports, tourist card and visa

Citizens and residents of the United States, Canada and the majority of European countries can enter the country with a 30 day tourist card, which can be bought when you enter the country for US $10. Any person, no matter what their nationality, may come into the Dominican Republic with a tourist card if they have any of the following valid visas in their passport: United States, Canada, United Kingdom or the European Union (Schengen). If you wish to extend your tourist card to 90 days, you will need to pay UD$20 (RD$800) to immigration when you leave the country. The exit tax is US$20.00, but this is usually included in the airline ticket.
