Only two Caricom countries allowing Haitians to enter without visas

Only two Caricom countries allowing Haitians to enter without visas

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Grenada and Montserrat are the only Caribbean Community (Caricom) country that do not require Haitian nationals to obtain a visa to visit the country.

The British consulting firm, Henley & Partners, has published its passport rankings for 2025 for 227 destinations based on data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), indicating that the Haitian passport allows access to only 15 countries in the world without any visa.

No other Caribbean country is included in the 15 countries named, with the UK-based firm saying that the figure is five less than what obtained in 2024, while Haitian passport holders can travel to various countries around the world, each with distinct visa requirements.

It said that there are a total of 43 visa-free travel destinations –15 visa-free destinations and 28 visa-on-arrival destinations – and that all other destinations require a prior visa.

“The list of visa-free destinations for Haitian passport holders may change from time-to-time depending on visa agreements between countries. It is advisable to check any additional requirements or temporary restrictions in your destination country based on your nationality before traveling,” Henley & Partners said.

Henley & Partners said that the top three best passports in the Caribbean are that of Barbados with access to 163 countries and 20th in the world, the Bahamas with access to 159 countries and ranked 21st in the world and St Vincent and the Grenadines with access to 156 countries and with a ranking of 24th in the world.
