Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay 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. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they will check the date matches your intended stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Haiti. Officers may ask for this if you look uncertain about where you are staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay — a bank statement or credit card works. Immigration rarely checks this, but budget airlines sometimes ask at check-in. | Recommended |
Safety first — check current conditions
Haiti has experienced civil unrest and security issues. Before you travel, check your government's travel advisory and register with your embassy. Avoid non-essential travel to high-risk areas.
No visa fee at entry
There is no visa fee for Chinese passport holders entering Haiti. You just need a valid passport and a return ticket. No forms to fill in advance.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince, follow signs to 'Immigration' after deplaning. The queue can be slow — expect 20-40 minutes.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation booking). The officer will check your passport validity and stamp it. No visa fee.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Usually straightforward — just walk through unless you have something to declare.
