FCDO advises against all travel to Haiti
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to Haiti due to the volatile security situation. There are currently no British consular officials in Haiti, and consular assistance is severely limited and cannot be delivered in person there. British nationals may access consular services at the UK diplomatic mission in the Dominican Republic. Those who travel or stay against FCDO advice should avoid crowds and public events and take appropriate security precautions.
Impact and considerations
For UK employers, staff travel to Haiti would lack effective consular protection, and travel insurance may be invalidated by travelling against FCDO advice, requiring reassessment of local operations and personnel arrangements.
