Haiti Visa FAQs

Do I need a visa to visit Haiti?
It depends on your nationality. Citizens of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union countries, and CARICOM member states can enter Haiti visa-free for tourist stays up to 90 days. Nationals from other countries may need to obtain a visa before travel. Check with the Haitian embassy or consulate in your country, or use DoVisa to verify your specific requirements.
How long can I stay in Haiti with a tourist visa?
Tourist visas and visa-free entries typically allow stays of up to 90 days. Extensions may be possible through the Haitian immigration authorities (Direction de l'Immigration et de l'Emigration) in Port-au-Prince. You must apply for an extension before your current authorization expires. Overstaying can result in fines and complications with future travel.
What documents are required for a Haiti visa application?
Essential documents include: Valid passport with at least 6 months validity and one blank page; recent passport photo (2x2 inches, white background); completed visa application form; proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter); return flight tickets; and proof of sufficient funds. Business travelers need additional documentation including company letters and business invitations.
How long does Haiti visa processing take?
Standard visa processing through DoVisa takes 5-10 business days. Processing times may vary depending on your nationality, application completeness, and current processing volumes. We recommend applying at least 2-3 weeks before your planned departure to allow adequate time. Express processing options may be available for urgent travel needs.
What vaccinations are required for Haiti?
No vaccinations are strictly mandatory for entry from most countries. However, yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from a yellow fever endemic country. Strongly recommended vaccinations include Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Tetanus, and routine immunizations. Malaria prophylaxis is recommended as malaria is present throughout Haiti. Consult a travel health clinic 4-6 weeks before departure.
What currency should I bring to Haiti?
Haiti uses the Haitian Gourde (HTG) as its official currency. US Dollars are widely accepted and often preferred at hotels, restaurants, and tourist establishments. Bring sufficient US dollars in good condition for exchange. Credit cards work at major hotels and some restaurants in Port-au-Prince. ATMs are available but may have reliability issues. Carry cash for markets, taxis, and rural areas.
Is Haiti safe for tourists?
Haiti requires careful travel planning and awareness. Tourist areas including Labadee, Jacmel, and parts of Cap-Haitien generally see fewer security concerns. Exercise heightened caution in Port-au-Prince and avoid demonstrations or large gatherings. Use reputable tour operators, stay at established hotels, and keep valuables secure. Check current travel advisories before your trip and register with your embassy.
Can I extend my stay in Haiti?
Yes, visa extensions are possible through the Direction de l'Immigration et de l'Emigration in Port-au-Prince. Apply before your current authorization expires with your passport, current visa, proof of funds, and accommodation details. Extensions are granted at immigration discretion. Overstaying without proper authorization can result in fines and difficulties with future travel to Haiti.
What are the main airports in Haiti?
The main international gateway is Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince, receiving flights from the US, Canada, and Caribbean nations. Cap-Haitien International Airport (CAP) serves the northern region with some international connections. Domestic flights connect major cities. All international arrivals must complete immigration and customs procedures at the port of entry.
Do children need their own visa for Haiti?
Yes, every traveler including children requires their own valid passport and visa documentation if applicable. Children cannot travel on parents' documents. When traveling with minors, especially if only one parent is present, carry a notarized consent letter from the absent parent. Additional documentation may be required for minors traveling with non-parent guardians.
What is the best time to visit Haiti?
The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March, offering pleasant temperatures of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit and minimal rainfall. April to October brings the rainy season with afternoon showers. August to October is hurricane season with increased storm risk. Jacmel Carnival in February and Haitian Independence Day on January 1st are popular cultural celebrations worth experiencing.
Can I work in Haiti with a tourist visa?
No, tourist visas and visa-free entry do not permit employment in Haiti. Working without proper authorization is illegal and can result in deportation and entry bans. To work legally, you need a Work Visa and work permit from the Haitian Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. NGO workers and volunteers also need appropriate visas and organizational sponsorship.
What should I know about Haitian Creole?
Haiti has two official languages: French and Haitian Creole (Kreyol). Haitian Creole is spoken by nearly all Haitians and is the primary everyday language. French is used in formal settings, business, and education. English is spoken at major hotels and tourist establishments. Learning basic Creole phrases like Bonjou (hello), Mesi (thank you), and Ki jan ou ye? (how are you?) is appreciated by locals.
What are the must-visit places in Haiti?
Citadelle Laferriere - UNESCO World Heritage fortress and symbol of Haitian independence. Sans-Souci Palace - Historic royal palace ruins near Cap-Haitien. Jacmel - Colonial architecture, art galleries, and beautiful beaches. Labadee - Private beach resort with water sports and activities. Bassin Bleu - Stunning blue pools and waterfalls near Jacmel.

What happens if my Haiti visa is rejected?
Visa rejections are uncommon but can occur due to incomplete documentation, insufficient funds, or concerns about travel intent. If rejected, you will receive notification explaining the decision. You can reapply with improved documentation addressing the concerns. DoVisa guarantee: If rejection results from our processing error, we provide a full refund and complimentary reapplication assistance.
Can I visit the Dominican Republic from Haiti?
Yes, Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Land border crossings exist at several points including Ouanaminthe-Dajabon and Jimani-Malpasse. You need appropriate documentation for the Dominican Republic including a valid passport and tourist card or visa depending on nationality. Cross-border travel requires proper exit and entry procedures at both immigration checkpoints.
