Frequently asked questions
No. Cyprus passport holders get visa-free access for up to 90 days. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a longer-term visa from a Haitian embassy before travel.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Haitian immigration. Renew your passport before you go.
No. Haiti does not require an online arrival declaration. You just fill out a simple paper card on the plane or at immigration, which is standard for most countries.
The local currency is the Haitian gourde (HTG), but US dollars are widely accepted, especially in Port-au-Prince. Bring small bills ($1, $5, $10) for taxis and markets. ATMs exist but can be unreliable.
No mandatory vaccines for entry, but the CDC recommends hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever (if coming from an endemic area). Malaria is present — consider prophylaxis. Check with a travel clinic 4-6 weeks before departure.
Overstaying can result in fines at the airport when you leave, and could affect future travel to Haiti. The fine is typically around $50-$100, but it's best to leave on time.
