Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay in Haiti | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your planned stay. Haiti does not enforce a strict 6-month validity rule, but airlines may ask for it at check-in. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Port-au-Prince airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before letting you through. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. If you're flying out via a different country, make sure the ticket shows your full route. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Haiti's immigration may request proof of where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A simple booking confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number works. Keep it in your carry-on. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | You might be asked to demonstrate you have enough money for your trip. Carry a recent bank statement or a credit card with a sufficient limit. No specific amount is published, but having at least $200–$300 USD in cash or accessible funds is a safe bet. | Recommended |
Security situation in Haiti
Haiti is currently under a State of Emergency due to gang violence. Many governments advise against all but essential travel. If you decide to go, arrange secure airport transfers, stay in a reputable hotel, and avoid traveling after dark.
No visa needed, but be prepared
Entry is straightforward, but airlines may still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Keep digital copies on your phone.
