| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Port-au-Prince airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |

| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $200 USD or equivalent in cash or credit card. Immigration can ask how you will fund your trip — a bank statement or cash in hand works. | Recommended |
Safety first
Haiti has ongoing security concerns, including crime and civil unrest. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid traveling after dark, and stay in well-known tourist areas.
No visa needed, but be prepared
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers may still ask for proof of return ticket and accommodation. Have these ready on your phone or printed.
