Travel Summary

Visitors to Haiti should exercise extreme caution due to the high levels of criminal activity and violence throughout the country, including the small but growing risk of kidnapping. Travel should wherever possible be fully supported by organisations operating in the country that provide professional security advice, evacuation options and medical support.

We advise against all travel to slum districts of Port-au-Prince, including Carrefour, Cite Soleil, and Martissant as there is minimal policing in these areas and personal security cannot be guaranteed.

The situation has improved since the earthquake of January 2010 but there is still a lot of damage to infrastructure including electricity, health services, roads and water supplies. Over 600,000 Haitian earthquake victims are still living in tents and other temporary structures. The areas still most affected are the centre of Port-au-Prince and outwards through the south of the city to the Carrefour, Leogane and Petit Goave districts. The city of Jacmel on south coast is also badly-affected.

There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

There was an outbreak of cholera in October 2010. You are advised to practise food and water hygiene precautions. If you suffer from diarrhoea you should seek immediate medical attention. For further information visit the National Travel Health Network and Centre website.

There is no British Embassy in Haiti. British Nationals in Haiti who require consular assistance should contact our Honorary Consul, on 509 3744 6371, at 337 Route de Dalmas, or the British Embassy in Santo Domingo on 001 809 472 7111. If you are a British national resident in or travelling to Haiti we encourage you to register your contact details with LOCATE, the FCOâs online consular registration service.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
