Travellers need a visa to visit Cuba for Tourism.

A Cuban eVisa is the fastest and easiest way of obtaining a visa for Cuba because travellers can submit their application and supporting documents online. Once the application is approved, travellers receive their eVisa confirmation number electronically.

A valid visa is required to board the flight. If the visa is expired or doesn’t match the traveller’s passport information, travellers will not be able to board their flight.

Travellers need a valid passport to enter Cuba. The traveller's passport must remain valid throughout the traveller's stay in Cuba.

To enter Cuba, all travellers must complete the mandatory travel form (D’Viajeros) no earlier than 7 days before arriving. Passengers travelling for leisure must select Tourism in the travel reason field when completing the form to obtain an electronic visa number. Travellers will receive a QR code by email after completing the form and must show an electronic or printed version before departure and to Cuban authorities upon arrival.

Travellers must have travel health insurance when visiting Cuba. Travellers without health insurance can buy Cuban medical insurance coverage at the airport upon arrival.

• Health screening: While not always required, officials might ask for a health certificate or a medical exam upon arrival. This is more likely if you're coming from an area with a health outbreak or if you show signs of illness.
