Safety advisory
Haiti has a high crime rate, including kidnappings and armed robbery. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid traveling after dark, and stay in secure accommodations.
Currency and cash
The local currency is the Haitian gourde (HTG), but US dollars are widely accepted. Bring small bills ($1, $5, $10) for taxis, markets, and tips. ATMs are unreliable outside Port-au-Prince.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
Most travellers fly into Port-au-Prince. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Arrivals'. There's usually one queue for all foreign nationals.
2
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport (valid 6+ months), and if asked, your return/onward ticket and accommodation booking. The officer will check your details and stamp you in.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Customs checks are random — have your declaration form ready if given one on the plane.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Haiti before the 90 days are up, or you risk overstay penalties and future entry bans.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a visa even for transit if you change airports or have an overnight layover.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, there's no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. But having a credit card or some cash (US dollars are widely accepted) is practical for your stay.
Haiti requires a yellow fever vaccination if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Routine vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
Yes, the same visa-free policy applies at land borders (e.g., from Dominican Republic) and at seaports. Just make sure your passport is stamped on entry.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, and a ban from re-entering Haiti. Leave before your 90 days are up, or contact Haitian immigration in advance if you have an emergency.
