Security situation in Haiti
Haiti is currently experiencing high levels of gang violence, kidnapping, and civil unrest. Many governments advise against non-essential travel. If you do go, register with your embassy, avoid traveling at night, and stay in secure accommodations.
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if you can't show a return ticket or your passport is too close to expiry. Have everything ready before you queue.
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 your passport and may ask how long you're staying. Answer honestly. The whole process usually takes 10–20 minutes.
2
Baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your luggage from the carousel. Customs is usually a quick walk-through. If you have nothing to declare, just walk out.
3
Exit the airport
Once through customs, you're in the arrivals hall. Taxis and hotel shuttles wait outside. Negotiate the fare before getting in — there's no official meter.
