Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Czech passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Haiti. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Haitian immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | 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 granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they check this at the passport control desk. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Not always requested, but having a hotel reservation or a letter from your host speeds up the process. If you plan to stay with friends or family, ask them to write a simple invitation letter with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Haitian immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your visit. Carry cash (USD or euros are widely accepted) or a credit card statement showing available funds — around $50–$100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Safety first
Haiti has ongoing security concerns, including crime and civil unrest. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid non-essential travel to certain areas. Always register with your embassy on arrival.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months), print or save your return ticket and hotel booking, and consider getting travel insurance. Also grab a local eSIM or SIM card so you have data on arrival.
2
Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Passport Control'. The queue can be slow — expect 20–40 minutes. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
3
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you leave. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry.
4
Collect baggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any large sums of cash or restricted items. Usually straightforward for tourists.
