Typically bring

• Passport with a minimum of six months validity from the date of entry.
• Confirmed return or onward ticket.
• Evidence of sufficient financial means (bank statements, credit card limit, or cash).
• Proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter).
• Travel insurance covering health and emergencies.

Watch out for

• Travelers sometimes assume any Indian passport is accepted; ensure the passport is not damaged and has blank visa pages.
• Insufficient proof of onward travel can lead to denial of entry.
• Carrying only a small amount of Haitian gourde may be problematic; arrange for currency exchange or reliable card use before arrival.
• Be aware that immigration officers may ask for additional documentation, such as a detailed itinerary.

Good to know

• Currency: Haitian gourde (HTG); US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, but having some local cash is helpful.

• Connectivity: Mobile data is available; consider buying a local SIM card for better rates.
• Safety: Stick to well‑touristed areas, avoid night travel in isolated neighborhoods, and keep valuables secure.
