North and Central America and Caribbean

You are advised not to become involved with illegal drugs of any kind.  Pack all luggage yourself and do not be tempted to carry any items through customs for anyone else.  If you are caught in possession of drugs or suspected of drug trafficking at any point whilst in Haiti, you may be arrested and jailed for weeks or months before appearing before a magistrate.  Prison conditions in Haiti are very poor.  

You should always carry proof of your identity.  Keep a copy of the photopage of your passport and relevant visa stamp in case your documents are stolen.

Homosexuality is legal but not widely accepted.
