Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Haiti | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Haiti does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just enough to cover your stay. Airlines may still enforce the 6-month rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Toussaint Louverture Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. This applies even for visa-free stays up to 90 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Haiti. Officers may ask where you are staying during your visit. A simple booking printout works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, a credit card, or a bank statement. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it helps if asked. | Recommended |
Safety and security in Haiti
Haiti has high levels of crime, including kidnapping and armed robbery. Avoid non-essential travel to many areas, especially after dark. Register with your embassy on arrival. Stay in secure accommodations and use trusted transportation.
Travel insurance is essential
Medical facilities in Haiti are extremely limited. A serious injury or illness can require evacuation to the US or Dominican Republic, costing tens of thousands of dollars. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
