1. Going Through Immigration

Upon entering the immigration area, all US citizens and visitors to Haiti must pay a $10 visa fee before proceeding to the immigration officer. Cashier is at the far left corner.

Immigration officer will return passport, lower portion of green form and customs form. Put up your passport with the lower portion of the green form (the green form is what you need to exit the country) and have only your customs form (white form) and the stub with all your baggage numbers ready which is probably stapled to your boarding pass jacket/envelope.

In line for immigration paperwork

2. Baggage Claim Area

Carts for $2.00 (U.S. dollars) can be obtained to the right as you leave the immigration officer.

If you request the services of the airport workers, several will approach you and everyone will want to get paid even if they only touch your bag or you. If you need assistance be ready to pay $1–$2 per bag.

Finding you bags will be a challenge if you have not put a distinctive marker on them. Be ready!! Be flexible!! A couple of your team members may want to watch the carry-on bags in one area, while the others look for the checked luggage. Your luggage will enter on one of the luggage carrousels.

3. Going Through Customs

Once you’ve found your bags, proceed to the exit. Have in your hand your customs form (white form). Hand this to the officer. Someone will also be there to check your baggage claim tags with your luggage. Be sure to have this ready also.

4. Exiting

An ESMI staff member will meet you at this point if not before. Do not go beyond the gate.
