United Arab Emirates to Haiti visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders do not need a tourist visa for Haiti for stays up to 90 days. They must use a passport valid for at least 6 months and pay the US$10 tourist fee on arrival, but current official travel advisories warn against travel to Haiti. As of 18 June 2026, Haiti's embassy visa guidance still supports a visa-free verdict for UAE ordinary passport holders: tourists generally do not need a visa, the restricted-nationality list does not include the United Arab Emirates, passports must be valid for at least 6 months, and foreign passport holders pay a US$10 tourist fee at the airport. The Embassy of Haiti in Europe also states that nationals of all countries outside the restricted list submit only a passport valid for at least six months, and that foreign passport holders must pay the US$10 tourist fee at the airport. Canada separately confirms tourist visas are not required for stays up to 90 days, while student visas and work permits are required for those purposes. The factual correction is not the visa verdict; it is the risk and operational context. The U.S. Department of State advisory dated 16 April 2026 keeps Haiti at Level 4: Do Not Travel because of crime, terrorism, kidnapping, unrest, and limited health care, and says U.S. commercial flights are not currently operating to or from Port-au-Prince. Canada, updated 26 May 2026, advises avoiding all travel, says Toussaint-Louverture airport has reopened but operations remain limited, and notes most international airlines have suspended flights to and from Port-au-Prince until further notice. Travelers should confirm flights directly with airlines, carry proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds, arrange robust medical/evacuation insurance, and understand that visa-free status does not mean travel is safe or logistically reliable.
