Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Haiti. Airlines check this before boarding. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by Haitian immigration. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Toussaint Louverture Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. Airlines also check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry cash (USD is widely accepted) or have a credit/debit card with a bank statement. Officers may ask how you'll cover your expenses, though this is not always enforced. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding. If it's close to expiring, renew it first.
Travel insurance strongly recommended
Not required for entry, but medical costs in Haiti can be very high. A basic travel insurance policy covers hospital stays, evacuation, and trip disruption. It's cheap peace of mind.
