Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Hong Kong passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Haiti. Immigration officers at Port-au-Prince airport check the expiry date against your departure date — no extra months beyond your stay are required. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Airlines at Hong Kong International Airport will ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they let you board. Immigration in Haiti also checks this on arrival — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Haiti. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $200 USD in cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. Immigration may ask how you plan to fund your trip — a bank statement or card works fine. | Recommended |
