Answers about cuban e-visas

Everyone going to Cuba for the purpose of tourism requires a tourist visa/card. Airlines will not allow you to board your flight to Cuba if you do not have one. Please note that all persons, including infants, will need to apply for a tourist card before their trip. The only exception is Cuban citizens who do not require them.

The Cuban Immigration Service published a list exempting citizen of the following countries from tourist visa requirements. However, we cannot guarantee its accuracy or updating, so if you are a citizen of one of these countries you should contact your nearest Cuban Embassy/Consulate to confirm: Antigua & Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Dominica, Georgia, Grenada, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldova, Namibia, Russia, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

Also keep in mind that there are restricted nationalities that cannot enter the country, with a tourist card. These nationalities will not be able to place an order on our website and the service for them will not be available.

Please note that you must complete the Health Declaration (Advance Passenger Information) online. You can do it up to 72 hours before your flight. Also be aware that this is not the same form for a Cuba visa, but the traveller's declaration forms that you had to complete on paper before arriving in Cuba will now need to be completed electronically here: DViajeros (gob.cu)

You can apply at any time on our website and keep your visa ready until the time of your trip to Cuba. Cuba Tourist Cards (Visas) do not have a fixed expiration date; hence you can use them at any time in the future and you don’t need to re-apply and pay again if visas have not been used and as long as you don’t change your passport.

The tourist card (visa) validity begins to run once you enter the country and they are valid for 90 days stay and are extendable for another 90 days once you are in the country. When you arrive in Cuba, your tourist card will be stamped with the date of arrival, and when you leave the country, your tourist card will be stamped with the date of departure. As the visas are single-entry documents , their expiration date is the day you leave Cuba.

In the event your passport expires before your trip then you will need to apply and pay for new visas again, since the ones already issued will not be valid because the information printed on the visa must exactly match your passport details.

This list is periodically updated by the Cuban Consulate, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy or updating, so if your nationality does not appear on our website when placing an order, it means that a restriction has been established and the order cannot to be accepted.
