Haiti Work Residence
At a glance
A local employer can support an application to live and work in Haiti, subject to the required employment and residence approvals.
- Job
- An actual supported local position
- Requirements
- An employer or authorized organization can support a Haiti residence application. Salaried foreign work also requires the appropriate labor authorization; residence and permission to work are separate.
Summary
Haiti’s employment-based residence route lets an overseas worker live there for a specific local role. A Haitian employer or authorized organization must support the role and application. Salaried work by a foreign national also needs the appropriate labor authorization. Complete both parts before employment begins; permission to enter or reside is not itself permission to work.
Eligibility
The employer provides its support and repatriation guarantee, registration or operating authorization, and arranges the required foreign-worker permission with the labor authority. Prepare the passport and entry records, birth certificate with French translation where needed, police and medical records, photos, local bank evidence, and application letter. Confirm current appointments and document requirements with the immigration authority before travel.
