Do Haitian citizens need a tourist visa for the United States?
Yes. Haitians must obtain a B-2 tourist visa or a combined B-1/B-2 visitor visa to travel to the United States for tourism.
The B-2 visa is generally used for holidays, sightseeing, visiting family or friends, medical treatment, and other temporary personal trips. A B-1/B-2 visa may also cover short business visits, but it does not give the holder the right to work in the United States, study on a full-time academic program, or stay in the country permanently.
You can find official information about visitor visas on the U.S. Department of State website.
However, Haitian citizens are currently affected by additional restrictions on the issuance of tourist visas and/or entry to the United States under Presidential Proclamation 10998, effective from January 1, 2026.
Important: U.S. visa and entry restrictions from January 1, 2026
Starting January 1, 2026, the United States expanded restrictions on visa issuance and entry for nationals of 39 countries. The measures also cover people travelling with documents issued or endorsed by the Palestinian Authority.
The restrictions were introduced under Presidential Proclamation 10998, signed on December 16, 2025.
Which countries are affected?
The scope of the restrictions depends on nationality. For some countries, both immigrant and nonimmigrant visa issuance is suspended. For others, only specific visa categories are affected.
🚫 Countries under full restrictions
The United States has suspended both immigrant and nonimmigrant visa issuance for nationals of:
- Afghanistan;
- Burkina Faso;
- Chad;
- Republic of the Congo;
- Equatorial Guinea;
- Eritrea;
- Haiti;
- Iran;
- Laos;
- Libya;
- Mali;
- Myanmar;
- Niger;
- Sierra Leone;
- Somalia;
- South Sudan;
- Sudan;
- Syria;
- Yemen.
The same full restrictions also apply to people travelling with documents issued or endorsed by the Palestinian Authority.
Some travellers may still qualify for an exception.
⚠️ Countries with restrictions that include B-1/B-2 visas
For nationals of the following countries, the U.S. has suspended immigrant visa issuance and certain nonimmigrant visas, including B-1/B-2, F, M, and J visas:
- Angola;
- Antigua and Barbuda;
- Benin;
- Burundi;
- Côte d’Ivoire;
- Cuba;
- Dominica;
- Gabon;
- The Gambia;
- Malawi;
- Mauritania;
- Nigeria;
- Senegal;
- Tanzania;
- Togo;
- Tonga;
- Venezuela;
- Zambia;
- Zimbabwe.
This means that applicants from these countries will generally not receive a new B-1/B-2 visa for a regular tourist trip while the restrictions remain in place, unless they fall under an exception.
✅ Who can be exempt?
The proclamation includes several exceptions. Depending on the case, the restrictions may not apply to:
- U.S. lawful permanent residents, including Green Card holders;
- people who already had a valid U.S. visa on January 1, 2026;
- dual nationals travelling on a passport from a country not covered by the restrictions;
- certain diplomatic and official visa holders;
- participants in qualifying major international sporting events;
- some Special Immigrant Visa applicants;
- travellers who receive an individual national-interest exception.
As a general rule, Presidential Proclamation 10998 applies to foreign nationals who were outside the United States on January 1, 2026 and did not have a valid U.S. visa on that date.
A visa that was already valid on January 1, 2026 was not automatically cancelled simply because the proclamation came into force.
Can Haitians still apply for a U.S. visa?
Yes. Haitian citizens covered by Presidential Proclamation 10998 may still file a visa application and attend an interview.
However, if the restrictions apply and the applicant does not qualify for an exception, the visa may not be issued, and entry to the United States may also be denied.
Before paying the non-refundable visa fee, applicants should check the rules that apply to their case on the official U.S. Department of State page on Presidential Proclamation 10998.
Can a Haitian citizen travel with an existing valid U.S. visa?
If a U.S. visa was still valid on January 1, 2026, it was not automatically cancelled just because Presidential Proclamation 10998 came into effect.
Before travelling, Haitians should check that:
- the visa is still valid;
- it has not been separately revoked or cancelled;
- the passport is valid;
- the planned trip matches the purpose allowed by the visa.
A valid visa does not automatically guarantee entry to the United States.
It allows the traveller to arrive at a U.S. port of entry and ask to be admitted. The final decision, including how long the traveller may stay, is made by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
After entering the country, the authorised stay can be checked in the electronic I-94 record.
What documents are required for a U.S. tourist visa for Haitians?
When applying for a B-1/B-2 visa, Haitians should normally prepare the following:
- a valid passport;
- the DS-160 confirmation page;
- proof of visa fee payment, if requested by the relevant U.S. Embassy or Consulate;
- a visa photo that meets the official U.S. photo requirements, if the image was not successfully uploaded with the DS-160;
- any additional documents requested by the consular post.
As a general rule, the passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned stay in the United States, unless the applicant’s nationality is covered by an exemption.
The consular officer may also ask for supporting documents showing:
- the reason for the trip;
- travel plans and accommodation;
- enough funds to cover the visit;
- plans to leave the United States after the authorised stay;
- work, study, business, family, or other strong ties to the country of residence.
An invitation from family or friends in the U.S. is not required for a tourist visa. An Affidavit of Support is also not a standard mandatory document, and neither document guarantees visa approval.
Is travel insurance required for Haitian citizens visiting the United States?
Travel insurance is generally not a mandatory requirement for a B-1/B-2 tourist visa or for entry to the United States.
Still, healthcare in the U.S. can be very costly, so Haitians are strongly advised to arrange insurance before their trip.
A suitable policy may include coverage for:
- emergency medical treatment;
- illness or injury;
- hospital stays;
- emergency medical transport;
- evacuation or repatriation.
How can Haitians apply for a U.S. visa?
If a Haitian citizen is allowed to apply for a tourist visa or falls under an exception to the current restrictions, the usual B-1/B-2 application process includes the following steps.
1. Fill out Form DS-160
Start by completing the DS-160 online nonimmigrant visa application through the official Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC).
Once the form has been submitted, save and print the DS-160 confirmation page with the barcode. You do not need to print the full application.
Before starting, applicants can also check the official instructions for Form DS-160.
The form must be completed in English. Applicants may be asked to provide passport details, information about previous U.S. travel, work and education history, and details of the planned trip.
2. Check the rules of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate
After submitting the DS-160, review the instructions of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where the application will be processed.
Each diplomatic mission sets its own procedure for creating a profile, paying the visa fee, booking an interview, and submitting the passport.
Since July 2026, nonimmigrant visa applicants are generally expected to apply at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their country of nationality or residence.
If regular nonimmigrant visa services are not available there, applicants must apply at the U.S.-designated diplomatic post.
More details are available in the U.S. Department of State page on where to apply for a nonimmigrant visa.
3. Pay the application fee
The current application fee for a B-1/B-2 visa is USD 185. You can verify the latest amount on the official U.S. visa fees page.
The fee:
- covers application processing;
- is not refunded if the visa is refused;
- does not mean that the visa will automatically be approved.
4. Book a visa interview
Once the fee has been paid, the applicant can schedule an interview according to the procedure of the selected U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Approximate waiting periods are published on the Global Visa Wait Times page.
The actual wait depends on the diplomatic mission, visa type, and current demand.
Since October 1, 2025, most visa applicants are generally required to attend an interview in person, including applicants younger than 14 and older than 79.
Some applicants may qualify for a limited interview waiver, including those who:
- renew a B-1, B-2, or B-1/B-2 visa within 12 months of its expiration;
- previously received a full-validity visa;
- were at least 18 when that visa was issued;
- apply in their country of nationality or usual residence;
- do not have an unresolved visa refusal or another apparent ground of ineligibility.
A consular officer may still request an interview even if the applicant appears to qualify for a waiver.
5. Prepare the required documents
Applicants should normally have:
- a valid passport;
- the DS-160 barcode confirmation page;
- proof that the visa fee was paid, if required;
- a photo if the online upload was unsuccessful;
- any other documents requested by the relevant Embassy or Consulate.
Photo specifications can be checked on the official U.S. visa photo requirements page.
6. Attend the interview
At the interview, a consular officer will decide whether the applicant meets the requirements for a B-1/B-2 visa. Questions may cover:
- why the applicant wants to travel;
- the planned itinerary and duration of the trip;
- accommodation;
- current work or studies;
- how the trip will be financed;
- family, professional, and other ties to the country of residence;
- plans to leave the United States after the authorised stay.
Additional documents may also be requested.
7. Wait for the result
After the interview, the application may be:
- approved;
- refused;
- sent for additional administrative processing.
Even if a visa is issued, it does not guarantee entry to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection makes the final admission decision at the border.
Important: if Haitian citizens are covered by Presidential Proclamation 10998, submitting the DS-160, paying the fee, and attending an interview do not remove the restrictions.
If the proclamation applies and no exception is available, the visa may still not be issued.
How much do Haitians need to pay for a U.S. tourist visa?
The standard fee for a B-1/B-2 visa application is USD 185.
This amount is charged for processing the application. It is not refundable if the visa is refused, and payment does not guarantee approval.
Some applicants may also have to pay a separate visa issuance fee, or reciprocity fee, after the visa is approved.
The need for this extra payment, its amount, the number of entries granted, and the usual visa validity period depend on the applicant’s nationality.
Can Haitian citizens extend their stay in the U.S.?
Possibly, but it is important to look at the I-94 date, not only the expiration date printed on the visa.
The visa shows how long it can be used to travel to the United States. The I-94 shows how long the traveller is actually allowed to remain during a particular visit.
The current admission record can be checked through the CBP I-94 service.
If a Haitian citizen wants to stay past the date shown on the I-94, they may in some cases request an extension of nonimmigrant status from USCIS.
This is normally done before the authorised stay ends by filing Form I-539. Applicants in B-1/B-2 status may need to explain:
- the reason for the requested extension;
- why they still intend to stay only temporarily;
- when and how they plan to leave;
- whether the longer stay affects their job or residence outside the U.S.;
- how they will pay for their additional time in the country.
It is not possible to extend the B-1/B-2 visa itself from inside the U.S.
Once the visa expires, a replacement visa generally has to be applied for at a U.S. diplomatic mission outside the country.
Overstaying can have serious consequences, including loss of lawful status and problems with later visa applications or entry.
For travel through the United States to another country.
Transit Visa C
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence.
Transit (C) visas are nonimmigrant visas for persons traveling in immediate and continuous transit through the United States en route to another country, with few exceptions. Immediate and continuous transit is defined as a reasonably expeditious departure of the traveler in the normal course of travel as the elements permit and assumes a prearranged itinerary without any unreasonable layover privileges. If the traveler seeks layover privileges for purposes other than for transit through the United States, such as to visit friends or engage in sightseeing, the traveler will have to qualify for the type of visa required for that purpose.
If you already have a
valid visitor (B) visa, you may be able to use it to transit the United States. If you are a citizen of a participating country, you may be able to transit the United States on the
Visa Waiver Program.
Travel purposes which require a Transit (C) Visa - Examples:
1) A foreign citizen traveling to another country who will have a brief layover in the United States when the only reason for entering the United States is to transit.
2) A passenger embarking from a foreign port on a cruise ship or other vessel which is proceeding to another country, other than the United States, but during the course of the journey, the vessel makes port in the United States with no intention of landing in the United States.
3) A crewmember traveling to the United States as a passenger to join a ship or aircraft you will work on, providing services for operation. You will also need a crewmember D visa, most often issued as a combination C-1/D visa.
4) A foreign citizen proceeding in immediate and continuous transit through the United States to or from the United Nations Headquarters District, under provisions of the Headquarters agreement with the United Nations, requires a diplomatic transit (C-2) visa. Travel within the United States will be limited to the immediate New York City vicinity.
Travel purposes not permitted on a Transit (C) Visa - Examples:
1) A foreign citizen whose layover in the United States is for a primary purpose other than to transit, for example to visit friends or sightsee, requires a visitor (B) visa.
2)A coasting officer seeking to enter the United States generally requires a visitor (B) visa. Coasting officers are employed temporarily when an officer of a foreign ship is granted home leave while the vessel is in U.S. ports, provided the vessel does not remain in U.S. waters for more than 29 days. The coasting officer may then repeat the process with another vessel of the same foreign line.
3)A crewmember on a private yacht sailing out of a foreign port which will be cruising in U.S. waters for more than 29 days is generally required to have a visitor (B) visa.
4) An officer or employee of a designated international organization assigned to the United States may pass in immediate and continuous transit through the United States on an International Organization (G-4) visa.

Additional documents may be requested to establish if you are qualified.
For example, additional requested documents may include evidence that shows:
1. Your purpose of entry into the United States is to transit while traveling onward to another country and that you intend to depart the United States;
2. Your ability to pay all costs while in the United States; and/or
3. Residence in your home country and your intent to return there.
4. Proof of your onward travel arrangements and/or permission to enter another country after departing the United States may be sufficient evidence that your purpose for entering the United States is transit.
5. Evidence of your employment and/or your family ties may also be sufficient to show the purpose of your entry to the United States is transit only and your intent to return to your home country. If you cannot cover all costs while in the United States, you may show evidence that another person will cover some or all costs of your trip.
8) Attend Your Visa Interview
During your visa interview, a consular officer will determine whether you are qualified to receive a visa, and if so, which visa category is appropriate based on your purpose of travel. You will need to establish that you meet the requirements under U.S. law to receive the category of visa for which you are applying.
Ink-free, digital fingerprint scans will be taken as part of your application process. They are usually taken during your interview, but this varies based on location.
After your visa interview, your application may require further
administrative processing. You will be informed by the consular officer if further processing is necessary for your application.
When the visa is approved, you may pay a visa issuance fee if applicable to your nationality, and will be informed how your passport with visa will be returned to you. Review the
visa processing time, to learn how soon your passport with visa will generally be ready for pick-up or delivery by the courier.
Additional Information
We cannot guarantee that you will be issued a visa. Do not make final travel plans or buy tickets until you have a visa.
Unless canceled or revoked, a visa is valid until its expiration date. Therefore, a valid U.S. visa in an expired passport is still valid. If you have a valid visa in your expired passport, do not remove it from your expired passport. You may use your valid visa in your expired passport along with a new valid passport for travel and admission to the United States.
Travel with dogs
The rules for bringing your dog into the United States depend on where the dog has been in the past 6 months.

Travel with cats
Pet cats are subject to inspection at ports of entry.
A general certificate of health is not required by CDC for entry of pet cats into the United States, although some airlines or states may require them. However, pet cats are subject to inspection at ports of entry and may be denied entry into the United States if they have evidence of an infectious disease that can be transmitted to humans. If a cat appears to be ill, further examination by a licensed veterinarian at the owner’s expense might be required at the port of entry.
Cats are not required to have proof of rabies vaccination for importation into the United States. However, some states require vaccination of cats for rabies, so it is a good idea to check with state and local health authorities at your final destination.
