Health precautions
No vaccines are officially required for entry, but hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever vaccines are recommended. Malaria is present — bring mosquito repellent and consider antimalarial medication. Drink only bottled or boiled water.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before travel
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date). Print or save your return ticket and first night's accommodation confirmation. Get travel insurance and a local SIM or eSIM for data on arrival.
2
Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
Most flights from Turkey connect through the US, Canada, or Europe. At Port-au-Prince airport, follow signs to 'Immigration' after deplaning. The queue can be slow — expect 30–60 minutes.
3
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport with a blank page ready. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry.
4
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim. Customs is usually straightforward — declare anything over the duty-free limit. Then exit into the arrivals hall.
