Netherlands to Haiti visa requirements

Netherlands passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Haiti and may stay up to 90 days. A US$10 tourism fee is payable in cash on arrival. A Netherlands ordinary passport holder can travel to Haiti visa-free for tourism. Haiti grants visa-free entry to citizens of most countries, including the Netherlands and the wider EU, for stays of up to 90 days (3 months). No advance visa, eVisa, or pre-approval is required. On arrival, all non-Haitian passport holders must pay a US$10 tourism fee in cash before clearing immigration, and the passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Only nine nationalities (Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, Syria, Libya, Iran, Vietnam, Yemen) require a pre-arranged visa; the Netherlands is not among them. Haiti is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Important: the Dutch government and most Western governments currently advise against all travel to Haiti due to severe gang violence, insecurity, and a fragile situation, with very limited consular support available. Travelers should check the latest official travel advisory before booking.
