Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If it's less than 6 months from your arrival date, they may refuse boarding — even if you have a visa-free entry. Double-check before you go.
Travel insurance is your safety net
Haiti's healthcare system is limited and expensive for foreigners. A basic travel insurance policy covering medical evacuation and hospital stays can save you thousands. It's not required for entry, but don't skip it.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival), print or save your return ticket, and have your first night's accommodation details handy. If you're flying into Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince, immigration queues can be slow — have everything ready to speed things up.
2
Arrive at Haitian immigration
At the airport, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Arrivals'. Present your passport and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in for up to 90 days. No visa fee is charged. Keep the stamped entry card (if given) with your passport — you'll need it when leaving.
3
Exit Haiti
When departing, go to the immigration counter before security. They'll check your passport and the entry stamp. No exit fee for Chilean passport holders. Allow extra time — the airport can be chaotic.
