All foreign passport holders travelling to Haiti must pay a fee at the airport

Attention everyone traveling to Haiti with a foreign passport, you will be subject to pay a tourist fee set at 10 U.S. dollars or 10 euros or $10 Canadian, whichever is more convenient to you, upon landing in Haiti starting 01 July 2014.


United States Passport

Whether you arrive in Haiti by land, sea or air, you will pay that $10 unless you are a child, a diplomat, or you hold an official passport...

This is according to a note from Haiti's Ministry of Tourism.

QUESTION: E tout Diaspora yo ki genyen paspò etranje yo?

What about Haitian citizens who hold foreign passports?

Tough luck... The note did not specify anything about that.

Even if you are Haitian, as long as you fly to Haiti with a non-Haitian passport you will pay.

No Haitian Passport? Pay $10... LOL...

What do you think about that?

It's not like the money is for infrastructure, bridges, highways, police officer.

None corrupt government or clean water for the Haitian people.

The way the Haitian diaspora get treated its unbelievable without out the diaspora contributions I don't know what will Haiti become.

You need the diaspora we deserve to be treat

This will create the funds to hire more people to keep the streets clean, hire more policemen for our
