Your First 30 Days

Haiti β€” Step-by-step checklist for your first month

Educational information only β€” not legal advice. Verify all details with official sources. Laws and conditions change frequently.

Days 1–3: Land Safe

  • 1.Arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince β€” Haitian immigration processes returning nationals
  • 2.Get a Digicel Haiti or Natcom SIM card at the airport or any vendor β€” prepaid SIMs require no ID for basic activation

Days 4–7: Get Connected

  • 3.Contact family networks immediately β€” family in your dΓ©partement is the most reliable support system given instability
  • 4.Visit the Office National d'Identification (ONI) to obtain or reactivate your CIN (Carte d'Identification Nationale)

Week 2: Documents & Stability

  • 5.Contact IOM (International Organization for Migration) Haiti for deportee reintegration assistance and transitional support
  • 6.Open a mobile money account with Digicel's MonCash or Natcom's NatCash β€” easier than a full bank account initially

Week 3–4: Start Rebuilding

  • 7.Seek support from Partners in Health (PIH/Zanmi Lasante) for health services in Artibonite or Central departments
  • 8.Contact local churches and community organizations β€” faith-based networks are critical support systems in Haiti
