Do you need a visa for Cuba?

Most foreign citizens need to apply for a visa to Cuba. Some countries are exempt from this requirement, like China, Malaysia and Singapore, and others are forbidden from applying for the Tourist eVisa. In this last case, their citizens are forced to apply for the visa in person at the nearest Cuban embassy.

All those traveling to Cuba from abroad, including their own citizens who live in other countries, must also fill out a D’Viajeros. It is a free online form that aims to speed up the border and customs process by having the traveler provide all the important information the government needs before their arrival.

Luckily, by applying with us, you can process your eVisa and D’Viajeros all at once for the same service fee.

Understanding D'Viajeros

Completing D'Viajeros Advance Information of Travelers Form is a mandatory requirement for every person entering Cuba from another country, including their own citizens. You will be asked to provide personal, health and customs information, as well as details about your trip.

If you carry any of these items with you or in your luggage, you will need to state it in D'Viajeros: live animals, cultural goods, satellite communication equipment, walkie-talkies, or products of animal or plant origin.
