Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at Port-au-Prince airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Haiti. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card ready to show you can cover your expenses. Immigration may ask for proof of funds if you look under-resourced. | Recommended |
Safety first
Haiti has a high crime rate, including kidnapping and armed robbery. Avoid traveling after dark, stick to well-known areas, and register with your embassy. Check your government's travel advisory before booking.
Cash is king
Credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels. Bring US dollars in small bills (clean, undamaged) — they're widely accepted alongside the Haitian gourde. ATMs are scarce and unreliable.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. Join the queue for foreign passports. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp you in for up to 90 days. No visa fee. The whole process usually takes 15–30 minutes.
2
Prepare documents before the counter
While in line, have your passport open to the photo page, and your return ticket visible on your phone. If asked for accommodation, show the booking confirmation. Answer questions clearly and politely.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Customs is usually a quick walk-through. Declare any large sums of cash (over $10,000 or equivalent) or restricted goods.
