Lebanese passport holders can travel to Haiti without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This has been the policy since at least 2026. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry and you have a return or onward ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 90 days you plan to stay in Haiti. Airlines at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport will check this before boarding. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Haiti | Immigration officers at Toussaint Louverture International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A printed itinerary or digital copy on your phone works. Without one, you may be denied boarding in Beirut or refused entry in Port-au-Prince. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you arrive without a clear place to stay, they can turn you away. A simple booking.com reservation printout is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $100 USD in cash or have a credit card with a visible balance. Immigration may ask how you plan to cover your stay. ATMs in Port-au-Prince are unreliable, so bring enough cash for the first few days. | Recommended |
Safety in Haiti
Haiti has a high crime rate, including armed robbery, carjacking, and kidnapping. Avoid traveling after dark, stick to main roads, and stay in well-known hotels. Register with your embassy on arrival.
No visa needed, but be prepared
Even though it's visa-free, immigration officers may ask for proof of accommodation and a return ticket. Have digital copies on your phone and a printed backup in your bag.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)
After landing, follow signs to Immigration. There are usually two queues: one for Haitian nationals and one for foreigners. Join the foreigner queue.

Present your documents
Hand over your passport (with at least 6 months validity and one blank page) and your return/onward ticket. The officer may ask for your accommodation address. Answer clearly and politely.

Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day visa-free entry. No fee is charged. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave.
