Electronic visa to Cuba (e-Visa)

Cuba, with its unique culture, architecture and breathtaking scenery, consistently attracts millions of tourists each year, making it one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean. To enter the island, foreign nationals need to apply for the appropriate visa or tourist card.

The most common is the tourist entry permit, which allows for a single entry into the country for up to 30 days with the possibility of additional extensions.

In August 2024, Cuba introduced a new electronic tourist visa system (e-Visa), greatly simplifying the process of obtaining a travel authorization to enter the country.

Foreign nationals can now apply for a Cuban tourist visa online by filling out a special form. After successful submission of the application, the applicant will be sent a unique visa code, which must be presented at passport control upon arrival in Cuba.

Here you will find all the necessary information about e-visa to Cuba: important requirements, processing time and procedure of obtaining it. Our company provides a full range of visa support services to make the preparation for your trip as comfortable as possible.

Most foreign nationals need a valid visa to visit Cuba.

Citizens of Germany and other EU countries, Canada, Japan, Switzerland and some other countries can apply for a tourist card for Cuba (tarjeta turística). The tourist card must be issued in advance and is valid for a stay of 30 days for tourist purposes.

The electronic visa system (e-Visa) is designed to replace the usual tourist card. Foreign nationals wishing to visit Cuba can now apply for an entry permit through a convenient online system. In addition to the ease of processing, the e-Visa is issued for up to 90 days, but is also single-entry.

To obtain an e-Visa to Cuba, an online application must be completed and personal information, including passport details and email address, must be provided. Once successfully processed, the e-Visa will be sent to the provided email, this visa code will be linked to the applicant's valid passport.

The e-Visa is not yet an alternative to the tourist card. A full transition to an e-Visa system for Cuba is planned for 2025.

Moreover, tourists arriving in Cuba by water transport are still required to obtain a tourist card.
