Passport issued to Hans Erich Max Emden by the Haitian government, who managed to escape the Holocaust. In 1941 he used it to travel to Argentina.

Between 1937 and 1942, a Haitian passport and Haitian citizenship could be obtained without visiting the country. [5] About 100 Eastern European Jews used this method to escape Europe. [6] At about this time, United States officials became aware of a 'passports for sale' racket carried out with the complicity of the Haitian government. In return for a substantial loan from a Swiss bank, 100 genuine signed passports were made available for sale in Germany, reportedly for $3,000 each. [7] [8]

In 2011, the launch of biometric or epassports was announced. [9]

Visa requirements

As of 1 January 2017, Haitian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 50 countries and territories, ranking the Haitian passport 86th in terms of travel freedom (tied with Gabonese and Malagasy passports) according to the Henley visa restrictions index. [10]
