What to do next
The part most visa checkers leave out: what actually needs doing before you fly.
Confirm with the official source
Rules change without notice, and only the immigration authority of Haiti can tell you where you stand. Search for its official site before you travel.
Check your passport
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. Renew first if you are close, because this is the most common reason travellers are turned away.
iKat required
Separate from any visa: Haiti requires this registration before or on arrival. Do it even if you need no visa.

Yes. Haiti requires iKat, separately from any visa and regardless of whether you need one. Travellers who are told they need no visa miss this most often.
