In a note, the American Embassy in Port-au-Prince asks its "U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges. U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and information on security conditions from commercial transportation providers and should arrange to leave Haiti when security conditions permit doing so.

The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince will be on limited operations tomorrow, Monday March 4. Embassy operations may be further affected during the week because of gang-related violence and its effects on transportation and infrastructure.

All appointments scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are cancelled for visas and American Citizen Services including routine passport services, requests for Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, and notarial services.

Persons with scheduled appointments for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday should NOT attempt to come to the Embassy; conditions may not allow the U.S. Embassy to admit persons who arrive on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

Actions to take:

Do not travel to Haiti. If you are a U.S. citizen in Haiti, depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options.
