Haiti
Haiti is a Caribbean country on the western half of the island of Hispaniola. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, the country suffers from a myriad of social, economic, and political problems and since the 1950s, it has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Wikivoyage

Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 10 December 2025:
You do not need a visa to visit Haiti for up to 90 days.
To stay longer (or to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Haitian government’s entry requirements.
Passport validity
Your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
