Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Bulgarian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Haiti. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Toussaint Louverture Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or a digital version on your phone ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Officers sometimes ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Immigration may ask how you plan to cover your expenses — a daily budget of around $50 USD per person is a safe baseline. | Recommended |

Frequently asked questions
No. Bulgarian passport holders get visa-free access for up to 90 days. Just show up with a valid passport and an onward ticket.
Up to 90 days. The stamp you receive on arrival will show the exact date you must leave by. Overstaying can result in fines or future entry bans.
Extensions are not available for visa-free visitors. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Haiti and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before your 90 days are up.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Haitian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes. Any confirmed onward travel out of Haiti works — a bus ticket to the Dominican Republic or a ferry booking is fine. Just have proof of departure.
No, it's not required for entry. But medical facilities are basic and evacuation can cost thousands. Most travellers get insurance for peace of mind.
US dollars are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. The local currency is the Haitian gourde (HTG). Bring small bills — change can be hard to come by.
