Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay in Haiti | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your 90-day stay. Haiti does not require 6 months of remaining validity beyond your departure date, but airlines may enforce their own 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration at Port-au-Prince airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Haiti. Border officers occasionally ask where you will stay, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements, a credit card, or cash (USD or Haitian gourdes) to demonstrate you can cover your expenses. Immigration may ask for proof of funds if you look like you might overstay or work illegally. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
No visa, no fee
Entry is completely free for Vietnamese passport holders. There's no visa application, no fee, and no need to visit an embassy beforehand.
