Haiti launches "iKat"

Haiti officially unveiled on Thursday the pilot phase of the new digital embarkation and disembarkation card, known as “iKat.”

According to the directorate of immigration and emigration, the digital arrival card “iKat” is designed to “gradually replace the traditional physical card through a pre-established digital subscription, allowing travelers to complete their form online up to 72 hours before arrival.”

Developed in collaboration with the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI), the DIE’s technical partner, the “iKat” project marks a critical step toward modernizing and securing migration procedures in Haiti.
