Haiti entry requirements for South Korea passport holders
South Korean passport holders can visit Haiti visa-free for up to 90 days. This policy is effective as of 2026. Just show up with your passport and a return ticket — no embassy visit needed.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your South Korean 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 confirmed onward or return ticket before clearing you. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they may also check it at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | While not always requested, having a hotel reservation or a letter from your host can speed up the immigration process. If you're staying with friends, ask them to write a simple invitation letter with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers may ask how you'll fund your stay. Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a credit card statement ready. ATMs are scarce outside Port-au-Prince, so bring enough cash for your trip. | Recommended |

Health & vaccines for Haiti
Present throughout Haiti, especially in rural areas; prophylaxis recommended.
Mosquito-borne disease common in urban and rural areas; use insect repellent.
Occasional outbreaks due to poor water sanitation; drink only bottled or boiled water.
Malaria risk is high throughout Haiti, including urban areas. CDC recommends prophylaxis (e.g., atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, or mefloquine).
