Why applications on this route get refused
Applied for the visa too close to travel
The Embassy of Haiti says applicants must apply at least one month before their departure date.
How to avoid it: Start your visa application at least a month before you plan to travel, not closer to your trip.
Missing one of the required supporting documents
The application needs a purpose-of-stay letter with your Haiti accommodation details, a copy of your return or onward ticket, and a letter from your employer, on top of the form and photos.
How to avoid it: Gather every listed document, including the accommodation, ticket and employer details inside your letter, before you submit the application.
Passport not valid for at least 6 months
The source requires a passport valid for at least 6 months.
How to avoid it: Check your passport's expiry date covers at least 6 months from your travel date, and renew it first if it doesn't.
