Do not assume you can get a visa at the airport in Haiti. Libyan passport holders must have a visa issued by a Haitian embassy or consulate before departure. Airlines may refuse boarding without a valid visa.
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take weeks, and embassy appointments may be limited. Start the process at least 2-3 months before your planned travel date to avoid delays.
Passport validity is critical
Haiti requires at least 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Check your passport now and renew if necessary.
