Do not travel without professional security arrangements.

  3. Haiti

    Currency limits (now attributed; receipt advice removed)

  4. Haiti

    Arrival card (aircraft hand-out and "no online form" claims not on the cited page)

    China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says arrivals fill in an entry registration card and a customs declaration on entry.

  5. Haiti

    Tourist fee notes (card-reliability advice removed)

  7. Haiti

    Onward ticket ("in practice airlines" claim removed; statements attributed)

    Before
    Visitors are expected to hold a confirmed return or onward ticket. In practice airlines check this more consistently than immigration does.

  8. Haiti

    Travel insurance (insurer-voiding and advice claims not on an official page)

    Before
    No official source states an insurance requirement for entry, but comprehensive coverage including medical evacuation is essential: Canada's travel advice says doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment even from insured patients.

  11. Haiti

    Passport validity (advice removed; Embassy of Haiti cited)

    FAQ: flights (unconfirmed Smartraveller claim removed)

    FAQ: is it safe (editorial framing and unread US advice removed)

    Before
    No, and that is the central fact about visiting Haiti right now. The US, UK and Canada all advise against all travel because of gang control of Port-au-Prince and much of the country, widespread kidnapping and armed roadblocks. Visa rules are the easy part; getting in, moving around and getting out safely is not.
