Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay in Haiti. Airlines check this at check-in. Carry a photocopy of the biodata page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within 90 days. Airlines will deny boarding without one. A printed itinerary or e-ticket works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry cash (USD or euros) or a credit card statement showing available funds. Officers rarely ask, but having $200–$300 equivalent in cash avoids problems. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity from your entry date, you will be denied boarding. No exceptions.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers at Port-au-Prince airport frequently ask to see proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone is usually enough.
