South Korea to Haiti visa requirements

Haiti grants South Korean ordinary passport holders visa-free entry for up to 90 days, with a US$10 tourist fee paid on arrival. CRITICAL: South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has placed Haiti under Travel Alert Level 4 (Travel Ban) since 1 May 2024, currently extended to 31 July 2026. South Korean nationals are legally prohibited from traveling to Haiti and must obtain exceptional passport-use authorization in advance, or face criminal penalties under the Passport Act. From Haiti's side, South Korean ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for tourism: Haiti requires advance visas from only nine nationalities (Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, Syria, Libya, Iran, Vietnam, Yemen), and South Korea is not on that list. Visa-exempt visitors may stay up to 90 days, must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, and pay a US$10 tourist fee on arrival, with a departure tax typically collected on exit. However, the decisive factor for a Korean traveler is the home-country restriction: the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs designated all of Haiti at Travel Alert Level 4 (Travel Ban) effective 1 May 2024 due to gang violence and political instability, and has repeatedly extended it (current period through 31 July 2026). Under Korea's Passport Act, visiting or staying in a Level 4 country without prior exceptional passport-use authorization is a punishable offense (Article 26), and no consular protection is provided. In practice, a Korean tourist cannot lawfully travel to Haiti right now; only exceptional authorization (granted for narrow purposes such as humanitarian, official, or essential business reasons) would permit travel. This guide therefore treats Haiti's policy as visa-free while strongly flagging the Korean travel ban as the operative obstacle.
