Anyone who must go relies heavily on a working phone. Your eSIM connects to Digicel, the country's largest mobile operator, on 4G LTE. US airlines are barred from flying to Port-au-Prince, so check carefully which airport you can reach. ### Haiti: quick facts | Fact | Haiti | | --- | --- | | Emergency number | 122 (police), 116 (ambulance), 115 (fire) | | Main airports | Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP); Cap-Haïtien International Airport (CAP) | | Plug types | Type A, B (110V) | | Currency | Haitian gourde (HTG) | | Apps worth having | WhatsApp, Signal, MonCash, Google Maps | ### Current UK and US advice on travel to Haiti (Haiti · https://viasimo.com/destinations/haiti/#guide-current-uk-and-us-advice-on-travel-to-haiti) The UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to Haiti because of the volatile security situation, and that advice was still current in October 2026. The US State Department's July 2026 advisory is Level 4, "do not travel to Haiti for any reason". It also notes that Haiti has been under a national state of emergency since March 2024. The UK warns that the kidnapping threat is high and can arise anywhere, at any time. It is particularly high in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and on the main roads into and out of the city. Criminal groups set up improvised roadblocks to extort or kidnap drivers, armed carjacking is common, and aid and missionary workers are considered legitimate targets. If you travel against this advice, perhaps for humanitarian or family reasons, check whether your travel insurance still covers you. Register with your embassy where that is offered. Help may be very limited. The US says its staff in Port-au-Prince cannot travel away from the embassy for non-essential reasons, and the UK notes that local emergency services may be unable to respond or may be badly delayed. Plan on your organisation's own security support rather than public services. ### Flights into Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haïtien (CAP) (Haiti · https://viasimo.com/destinations/haiti/#guide-flights-into-port-au-prince-pap-and-cap-haitien-cap) Toussaint Louverture International (PAP) in Port-au-Prince is the main airport on paper, but in practice access is restricted. The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice prohibiting US airlines from flying to Port-au-Prince because of the instability, and the State Department confirms that no US commercial flights currently operate there. Check the FAA's current prohibitions and your airline's own notices before you book or travel. Cap-Haïtien International (CAP), on the north coast, is Haiti's second-largest airport. Sunrise Airways lists routes from it to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston and Newark, as well as a domestic link to Les Cayes. American Airlines has announced Miami flights scheduled to begin on 1 November 2026, but check that they are actually running before you rely on them. Switch on your eSIM before you leave the aircraft. Then message whoever is collecting you and confirm the plan before you walk out of the terminal. Schedules change at short notice, and you need to be reachable from the moment you land. ### Digicel, public wifi and staying in contact (Haiti · https://viasimo.com/destinations/haiti/#guide-digicel-public-wifi-and-staying-in-contact) Haiti's mobile market has two main operators. **Digicel** launched in 2006 with the country's first GSM licence, and in 2012 bought its main rival, Voilà. **Natcom**, formed from the privatised state telecoms company Teleco, is the other network. Your eSIM connects to Digicel on 4G LTE. The US State Department advises against using public wifi in Haiti and recommends a VPN and app-based calling. A data eSIM helps here because you don't need hotel or café networks for sensitive messages. Use WhatsApp or Signal for calls and texts, share your live location with a trusted contact for every journey, and agree check-in times. Power cuts and road closures affect masts as well as your own charging, and the UK warns that transport and communications are likely to be badly disrupted after a major disaster. Carry a power bank and keep key numbers written on paper as well as in your phone. The emergency numbers are **122** for police, **116** for an ambulance and **115** for the fire service, but expect slow or no response. The US Embassy's after-hours line is +509 2229 8000. ### Sources for the Haiti guide - [Haiti travel advice (GOV.UK)](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/haiti) - [Haiti travel advice: safety and security (GOV.UK)](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/haiti/safety-and-security) - [Haiti travel advice: getting help (GOV.UK)](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/haiti/getting-help) - [Haiti travel advisory (US Department of State)](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/haiti-travel-advisory.html) - [Telecommunications in Haiti (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Haiti) - [Cap-Haïtien International Airport (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap-Ha%C3%AFtien_International_Airport) ## Essential travel to Haiti: arriving, staying connected and keeping in touch Essential-travel plan (not a holiday itinerary; UK travel advice warns against travel) · 3 days · Source: https://viasimo.com/destinations/haiti/#itinerary The UK advises against all travel to Haiti and the US says do not travel for any reason, so this is not a holiday route. It is a three-day checklist for humanitarian, family or business trips that cannot be avoided, focused on arrival, communications and getting out. **When to go:** There is no good time for leisure travel while UK and US advice warns against all travel; if you must go, avoid the June to November hurricane season where you can, as storms disrupt flights, roads, power and mobile masts. ### Day 1 in Haiti: Arrival and the first hour - **Base:** Your organisation's secure accommodation - **Getting there:** Arrange airport transfers in advance with your organisation or a vetted security provider; do not use street taxis. - **Plan:** Fly only on a route your airline confirms is operating, such as into Cap-Haïtien (CAP), as US airlines are barred from Port-au-Prince. Before boarding, share your flight details and arrival plan with a trusted contact and your organisation's security team. Switch on your eSIM before you leave the aircraft, confirm by message that your pre-arranged driver is waiting, and do not leave the terminal until you have that confirmation. Travel straight to your accommodation without stops. - **Mobile signal:** Digicel 4G usually works at Cap-Haïtien airport and in the town, but power cuts can take masts offline without warning, so send your arrival message as soon as you have a signal. ### Day 2 in Haiti: Working days: check-ins and live location - **Base:** Your organisation's secure accommodation - **Plan:** Agree fixed check-in times with a contact outside Haiti and stick to them, using WhatsApp or Signal rather than SMS. Share live location for every journey, however short, and confirm arrival at each destination. Avoid public wifi as advised by the US State Department, and use a VPN for work traffic. Keep your phone charged from a power bank, and write key numbers, addresses and your embassy's contact details on paper in case your phone is lost or the network goes down. - **Mobile signal:** Expect usable 4G in towns when the power is on, with sudden outages during blackouts or unrest; plan for messages to queue and agree what your contact should do if you miss a check-in. ### Day 3 in Haiti: Departure and contingency plans - **Base:** Your organisation's secure accommodation - **Getting there:** Pre-arranged secure transfer only; allow extra time for checkpoints and road closures. - **Plan:** Reconfirm your flight that morning through the airline's app or website, as schedules change at short notice. Travel to the airport with your arranged driver and message your contact when you leave and when you are airside. Keep a backup plan agreed in advance with your organisation, including an alternative departure route and who to call. If you are delayed, update your contact and stay in secure accommodation rather than waiting in public areas. - **Mobile signal:** Digicel 4G usually covers the airport area, but carry the airline's contact numbers and your e-ticket offline in case data drops. ### Staying connected on this Haiti route - Keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, since the eSIM is data-only; the US Embassy's after-hours line is +509 2229 8000. - Use encrypted apps such as WhatsApp or Signal with a VPN, and avoid public wifi entirely. - Carry at least one fully charged power bank, as blackouts affect both your phone and local masts. - Save offline copies of your tickets, insurance documents and a map of your area before you fly. ### Sources for the Haiti itinerary - [GOV.UK foreign travel advice: Haiti](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/haiti) - [GOV.UK foreign travel advice: Haiti safety and security](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/haiti/safety-and-security) - [US State Department: Haiti travel advisory](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/haiti-travel-advisory.html) - [Wikipedia: Cap-Haïtien International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap-Ha%C3%AFtien_International_Airport) ## About this eSIM Haiti's name means mountainous land, and that is the first thing to understand about its mobile coverage. Service follows the cities and the valley roads, and the ridges between them do what ridges everywhere do to a signal. The second thing to understand is that conditions on the ground here change quickly: routes, access and what is advisable vary by season and by month, so check your own government's current travel advice before you go and keep checking it while you are there. A live data connection is part of how you do that. ### Getting online when you land Set the eSIM up at home and leave the line off until you arrive. Whether you fly into Toussaint Louverture in Port-au-Prince or into Cap-Haïtien in the north, you want your phone already working when you walk out, not after a search for airport wifi. Turn the travel line on, wait for it to attach, and confirm that data roaming is switched on for that line rather than assuming a global setting covers it. That per-line toggle is the most common reason a new profile appears connected and moves no data at all. Have your arrival arranged in advance and confirm it by message before you leave the terminal. Being able to reach the person collecting you, and being reachable yourself, is the part of this that actually matters here. ### The networks you'll be on Your handset attaches to a local network by itself; there is no manual selection to worry about. Expect a usable connection in the cities that varies through the day, and expect power to be part of the story. The electricity supply is unreliable, network sites and the phone in your pocket both depend on it, and a connection that was fine at midday can be worse in the evening. Work with that rather than against it. Messaging apps hold up on a weak connection long after video calls stop working, so default to voice notes and text. Charge whenever you have mains power, not when the battery gets low. ### Where coverage holds, and where it thins The strongest ground is the capital region: Port-au-Prince, Delmas, Pétion-Ville and the built-up areas around them, along with Cap-Haïtien in the north and the larger provincial cities such as Gonaïves, Les Cayes and Jacmel. Along the main national roads, coverage is generally present in and near the towns strung along the route. It falls away in the mountains, and Haiti is mostly mountains. The climb from Pétion-Ville up to Kenscoff and Furcy, the Central Plateau tracks around Hinche, and the ranges of the southern peninsula behind Jacmel and Jérémie all have long gaps. The road up to the Citadelle Laferrière above Milot, whether you walk it or ride it, is a place to have your photos and directions already downloaded. Coastal spots vary. The Côte des Arcadins hotel strip north of the capital is fine. Île-à-Vache off Les Cayes and the smaller beaches on the south coast are quieter, and boat crossings are offline. Rural areas away from the main roads should be treated as no-service by default, and heavy rain, which arrives hard in the wet months and during hurricane season, knocks out both power and connectivity for a while afterwards. ### What you'll actually use data for here Messaging, overwhelmingly. Communication here runs through chat apps rather than email or phone calls, and drivers, guides, hosts and fixers all expect to reach you that way. If you are working with an organisation locally, that will be the channel too. After that: staying informed. Local news and official advisories change what is sensible on any given day, and a phone that can pull that up is worth more than one that can stream. Weather is the same, particularly in hurricane season, when tracking a storm several days out changes travel plans rather than just plans for the afternoon. The rest is ordinary. Translation between English, French and Haitian Creole comes up constantly. Money is a recurring task: cash is the norm, machines are unreliable, and you will be checking rates and where you can withdraw. Maps matter because addressing is loose and you will navigate by landmark and pinned location. ### Before you fly Check that your handset is eSIM capable and unlocked, and install the profile before departure. Download offline maps of the whole country, since the mountain roads between cities are exactly where the map will refuse to load. Save your contacts, addresses, accommodation confirmations and documents to the device as files and screenshots, and keep paper copies of the important ones. Register with your embassy if your country offers that, and share your itinerary with someone at home. Bring a substantial power bank and a charging setup that works from a car, because generator hours are limited and unpredictable. Carry cash in small notes; card acceptance is limited to a small number of hotels and businesses. Keep the phone out of sight in public and rely on it discreetly rather than openly. And build slack into every plan, because road conditions and local circumstances move schedules here more than anything to do with your phone will. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does an eSIM work in Haiti? Yes. Your Haiti eSIM connects automatically the moment you arrive, with no roaming fees and nothing to set up at the airport. The host networks it can use are Digicel. Coverage runs on 4G LTE. There is no 5G on our host network in Haiti yet. ### Do I get 5G in Haiti? No. Digicel do not yet offer 5G to visitors in Haiti, so your eSIM connects over 4G LTE or slower. Anyone claiming 5G for this destination is quoting a spec sheet, not the network you will actually get. ### Can I fly into Port-au-Prince right now? US airlines cannot. The FAA has issued a notice barring US carriers from flying to Port-au-Prince, and the State Department says no US commercial flights operate there. Cap-Haïtien (CAP) has Sunrise Airways routes to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston and Newark. Check FAA notices and your airline before you book, as both the UK and US advise against all travel. ### Which mobile networks work in Haiti? Haiti has two main mobile operators, Digicel and Natcom. Digicel arrived in 2006 with the first GSM licence and bought its rival Voilà in 2012. Natcom was formed from the privatised state company Teleco. Your eSIM connects to Digicel on 4G LTE. Power cuts can take masts offline, so carry a power bank. ### Is it safe to use public wifi in Haiti? The US State Department advises against public wifi in Haiti and recommends using a VPN and internet calling apps. A data eSIM means you don't need hotel or café networks for sensitive messages. Use encrypted apps such as WhatsApp or Signal, and share your live location with a trusted contact while you are on the move. ### What are the emergency numbers in Haiti? The UK Foreign Office lists 122 for police, 116 for an ambulance and 115 for the fire service. It warns that emergency services may be unable to respond or may face long delays because of the security situation. The eSIM is data-only, so call from your home SIM, and keep your embassy's emergency line saved as well. ### How much data do I need for 7 days in Haiti? For 7 days in Haiti, Viasimo sells 1 GB for $13.99 and unlimited data for $184.99. Our sizing recommendation, not a measurement: maps, messaging and the occasional lookup, about 1 GB a week; maps, social, photos and some browsing, about 3 to 7 GB a week. The data calculator on this site works it out from how you actually use your phone. ## Information and verification - **Prices and plans**: Every price and allowance on this page is read from the live catalog, not typed in.
