Safety first
Haiti has ongoing security concerns including gang violence and civil unrest. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid non-essential travel to certain areas. Always have a local contact and a backup plan.
No visa, but be prepared
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers can still deny entry if they're not satisfied with your documents or purpose of visit. Carry printed copies of your return ticket and accommodation booking.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Arrivals'. There's usually one queue for all foreign nationals. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents at immigration counter
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you're leaving. Answer clearly. They'll stamp you in for up to 90 days.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim. Customs is usually a quick walk-through unless you have something to declare. Then you're out into the arrivals hall.
