I checked on the web page of the Haitian Embassy in DC for the newest requirements on visas. All incoming passengers are issued visas at the airport except those from the following FOUR countries who must apply in advance:
China (populaire - mainland- )
Panama
Columbia
Dominican Republic
Visitors who wish to go there might wish to visit tripadvisor.com and read updates from people who have been in and out and about during the recent "difficulties".
And please, could we bear in mind that Haiti is the second oldest independent nation in the Western Hemisphere, only 15 younger than the United States, the only nation in the world where the slaves rose up and took the land from their conquerors? If they were not forced by the entire "white" world, mostly by the United States which was slave holding at the time, to cut down all their forests in order to pay the French reparations for the economic loss that the French "suffered" for the loss of their "colony" , Haiti would look exactly as lush and green as the DR. So Haiti is the result of our foreign policy. Such a pretty sight.
Amen. I'll get off the soapbox.
