What documents should I have ready at immigration?

You should have your valid Australian passport and your return or onward ticket. While not always asked for, proof of sufficient funds for your stay is also advisable.

Can I extend my stay beyond 90 days?

Extending your stay beyond the initial 90 days as a tourist typically requires applying to the Haitian immigration authorities. This process can be complex and should be initiated well before your initial authorized stay expires.

Is there an entry fee?

While the visa itself is free, there might be a small tourist fee paid upon arrival, often around US$10. It's best to have some USD cash available.
