Business visits to Haiti

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Portuguese passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see haiti.org.

Working in Haiti

⚠ Not from an official source: items marked below come from secondary sources (law firms, employer-of-record guides, IOM, Wikipedia), not the destination government. They are not verified and may be out of date; confirm with the embassy or immigration authority.

Transit through Haiti

Option 1
Visa-freeTransit (changing flights in Haiti)

Airside transit generally without a visa (not from an official source)

Unofficial source – not verified

This rule is not from an official Haiti government source. It is based on a secondary reference source (dict.dyimin.com). Confirm with the embassy or the official immigration authority before you travel.

The World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com) says: “In cases where a traveler stays within the international airside transit security area waiting for a same-day connecting flight at locations such as Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince without passing through immigration control, direct airside transit applies, which is not deemed an entry into the country.” Not from an official Haiti government source; based on the World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com), a single unofficial reference site. Low confidence, not verified - confirm with your airline before travel.

Conditions

  • Stay in the international transit area (airside); do not pass immigration.
  • Check your airline allows it (through ticket and checked-through baggage).
