Guide last updated September 9, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of your stay
  • No visa required for tourist or business stays up to 90 days
  • Mandatory Tourist Card purchased at the airport (cash, approximately USD 10)
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • No biometrics required for standard entry
  • Travel health insurance is strongly recommended given current security and healthcare conditions; check current German Foreign Office travel advisories before booking, since parts of Haiti have significant safety concerns

Visa types

  • Tourist Card (not technically a visa): purchased for approximately USD 10 on arrival, valid for a stay of up to 90 days, single entry per card
  • No separate visa category exists for short tourist or business visits by German nationals
  • Longer stays, work, or residence require a visa applied for through the Haitian embassy or consulate before travel

Entry conditions

  • Up to 90 days per visit once the Tourist Card is purchased on arrival
  • No paid employment permitted on the Tourist Card
  • Officers at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) may ask to see your return ticket and accommodation details
  • Extensions beyond 90 days require applying at Haiti's Directorate of Immigration and Emigration in Port-au-Prince before the period expires
  • Given ongoing instability in parts of the country, always check current travel advisories and register with the German embassy if traveling

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist Card: approximately USD 10, paid in cash on arrival at the airport
  • No advance visa fee since German citizens are visa-exempt for short stays
  • Processing time for the Tourist Card: a few minutes at the airport counter
  • Extension of stay at the Directorate of Immigration and Emigration: modest additional fee, processed over a few working days

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Check the German Federal Foreign Office's current travel advisory for Haiti before booking, as security conditions can change rapidly and affect where you can safely travel within the country
  • Bring small denomination US dollars in cash for the Tourist Card, since card payment is often unavailable at the airport
  • Arrange airport transfers and accommodation in advance rather than relying on finding them on arrival
  • This stay does not count against your Schengen 90/180-day allowance
  • Register your trip with the German embassy or consulate covering Haiti if traveling independently
