Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can US citizens travel to Haiti safely right now?
The US State Department currently has a Level 4 Do Not Travel advisory for Haiti — the highest warning level — due to kidnapping, violent crime, civil unrest, and gang control of significant portions of the country including parts of Port-au-Prince. US Embassy services in Haiti are also severely limited. AA Passport & Visa strongly discourages travel to Haiti at this time and recommends reviewing the full current advisory at travel.state.gov before making any travel decisions regarding Haiti.
Do US citizens need a visa to enter Haiti?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to enter Haiti for tourism or business for stays of up to 90 days. However given the current Level 4 Do Not Travel advisory the absence of a visa requirement is not the relevant concern for most travelers right now. The security situation in Haiti has deteriorated significantly in recent years and AA Passport & Visa recommends prioritizing your safety above all other travel planning considerations. Check travel.state.gov for the most current Haiti advisory before making any decisions.
What is Haiti's historical significance that draws visitors?
Before the current security crisis Haiti was known for its extraordinary historical heritage. The Citadelle Laferriere is a massive early 19th century mountaintop fortress built by Henri Christophe and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — one of the most impressive historic monuments in the entire Caribbean. Sans-Souci Palace nearby was once called the Versailles of the Caribbean. Haiti was also home to a vibrant and internationally recognized art tradition. These sites remain but access is severely limited under the current security conditions.
What documents would US citizens need to enter Haiti when conditions permit?
For future travel when security conditions allow, US citizens need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond their entry date and a return or onward flight ticket. No visa stamp is required. Haiti immigration may ask for proof of accommodation. AA Passport & Visa helps ensure your passport is valid before travel to any destination. Call 972-231-1600.
What organizations are still operating in Haiti and how can I help?
For DFW residents who want to support Haiti without traveling there, numerous reputable humanitarian organizations operate in Haiti including Partners in Health, UNICEF Haiti, and World Food Programme Haiti. Donations to verified organizations provide meaningful support. If you are a professional such as a doctor, nurse, engineer, or aid worker with a specific skills-based reason to travel to Haiti, AA Passport & Visa can advise on documentation requirements. Call 972-231-1600.
