Haiti

April 27, 2007

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Haiti is one of the least developed and least stable countries in the Western Hemisphere. The availability of consumer goods and services is barely adequate in the capital, Port-au-Prince, but other parts of the country experience chronic shortages. Most consumer products are imported and expensive. Some tourism facilities in the large cities and resort areas are satisfactory, but many are rudimentary at best, and are difficult to find in most rural areas and small towns. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Haiti for additional information.

ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS:  Haitian law requires U.S. citizens to have a passport to enter Haiti.  In the past, officials have waived this requirement if travelers had a certified copy of their U.S. birth certificate.  The U.S. Embassy strongly recommends that U.S. citizens obtain passports before travel to Haiti.  Once in Haiti, an undocumented U.S. citizen can experience delays of several weeks for the issuance of a passport, as it is often more difficult to establish identity and citizenship overseas than in the United States. 

U.S. Citizens traveling to and from Haiti must present a valid passport when entering or re-entering the United States. We strongly encourage all American citizen travelers to apply for a U.S. passport or passport card well in advance of anticipated travel.  American citizens can visit travel.state.gov or call 1-877-4USA-PPT (1-877-487-2778) for information on how to apply for their passports.

The Haitian government requires foreigners to pay a departure fee. U.S. citizens are encouraged to contact the Embassy of the Republic of Haiti for more details regarding current entry, departure and customs requirements for Haiti. See our Foreign Entry Requirements brochure for more information on Haiti and other countries.  The Embassy of the Republic of Haiti is located at 2311 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20008; the telephone number is (202) 332-4090, and the Internet address is http://www.haiti.org/. There are Haitian consulates in Miami, and Orlando, Florida; Boston, Massachusetts; New York, N.Y., Chicago, Illinois and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

See Entry and Exit Requirements for more information pertaining to dual nationality and the prevention of international child abduction.  Please refer to our Customs Information to learn more about customs regulations.

Consular Information Sheet - Entry/Exit Requirements

This information is current as of today, Wed Aug 29 2007 22:54:01 GMT-0400 (SA Western Standard Time).

In addition to being subject to all laws affecting U.S. citizens, individuals who also possess the nationality of their nation of destination may also be subject to other laws that impose special obligations on citizens of that country.  For additional information, see the Consular Affairs home page on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov for our Dual Nationality flyer .

In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit points.  These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the childs travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if not present.  Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry/departure.
