Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Haiti | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the duration of your stay in Haiti. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration at Toussaint Louverture Airport in Port-au-Prince routinely asks for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination 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 where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card available to show you have enough money for your stay. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, they want to see you are not arriving without means. | Recommended |
Safety and security in Haiti
Haiti has a high level of crime, including kidnapping and armed robbery, especially in and around Port-au-Prince. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid non-essential travel to certain areas. Always have a local contact and a backup plan.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended
Medical facilities in Haiti are extremely limited. A serious injury or illness could require evacuation to the US or Dominican Republic, costing tens of thousands of dollars. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is not just a good idea — it's essential.

Frequently asked questions
No. If you stay airside and don't pass through immigration, no visa is needed. But if you leave the transit area, you'll need to meet the same entry requirements (passport validity, onward ticket).
No. The 90-day visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Haiti and re-enter after a short absence. Overstaying can result in fines or trouble at departure.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Haitian immigration. Get your passport renewed before traveling. There are no exceptions for shorter validity.
No. There is no arrival declaration form or online pre-registration for Peruvian passport holders. Just show up with your documents.
The local currency is the Haitian gourde (HTG), but US dollars are widely accepted, especially in Port-au-Prince. Bring small bills ($1, $5, $10) for taxis, markets, and tips. ATMs are available but can be unreliable.
No vaccinations are required for entry. However, the CDC recommends routine vaccines plus hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever (if traveling from a country with yellow fever). Malaria is present — consult a travel clinic.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may face a fine (amount varies), questioning at immigration, and potential difficulty leaving. In extreme cases, you could be detained. Leave before your stamp expires.
