1. Going Through Immi­gra­tion Since Jan­u­ary 12, 2010

Upon arriv­ing in Haiti, you will take a short ride to the immi­gra­tion and bag­gage claim area. This is the new Immi­gra­tion and Cus­toms area since the quake dam­aged the inter­na­tional airport. The area is too small for all the incom­ing flights, very hot and chaotic. Be ready!! Be flexible!! You will meet the immi­gra­tion offi­cer first.

Immi­gra­tion offi­cer will return pass­port, lower por­tion of green form and cus­toms form. Put up your pass­port with the lower por­tion of the green form (the green form is what you need to exit the coun­try) and have only your cus­toms form (white form) and the stub with all your bag­gage num­bers ready which is prob­a­bly sta­pled to your board­ing pass jacket/envelope.

2. Bag­gage Claim Area

Carts for $2.00 (U.S. dol­lars) can be obtained to the right as you leave the immi­gra­tion officer.

If you request the ser­vices of the air­port work­ers, sev­eral will approach you and every­one will want to get paid even if they only touch your bag or you. If you need assis­tance be ready to pay $1–$2 per bag.

Find­ing you bags will be a chal­lenge if you have not put a dis­tinc­tive marker on them. Be ready!! Be flex­i­ble!! A cou­ple of your team mem­bers may want to watch the carry-on bags in one area, while the oth­ers look for the checked lug­gage. Your lug­gage will enter on one of the lug­gage carrousels.

3. Going through Customs

Once you’ve found your bags, pro­ceed to the exit. Have in your hand your cus­toms form (white form). Hand this to the officer. Someone will also be there to check your bag­gage claim tags with your luggage. Be sure to have this ready also.

4. Exit­ing

An ESMI staff mem­ber will meet you at this point if not before. Do not go beyond the gate.
