Transit Visa (Visa de Transit)

The transit visa for Haiti is an administrative requirement designed to regulate the movement of foreign nationals who are passing through the country en route to a third destination. It fills a critical gap in border control by ensuring that individuals who do not intend to stay in Haiti but must enter the country—such as those switching between airports or transport modes—are properly documented and accounted for during their brief stay. This policy helps authorities maintain security while facilitating the flow of international travelers.

This visa is intended for travelers whose journey requires them to leave the international transit area of a Haitian airport or stay in the country for a short duration while waiting for a connecting flight. It is distinctive because it is strictly limited to short-term, non-extendable stays. Applicants must provide proof of their onward travel, such as a confirmed ticket and, if required, a visa for their final destination, making it a specialized tool for passengers in transit.
