Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply for Cuban Visa Online UPDATED for 2024

We all know that rules and requirements can change, particularly when it comes to foreign travel.

And traveling to the country of Cuba is no exception to this.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Staying informed about the latest travel regulations is always important when you travel to a foreign country.

Cuba is a place where things change often and quickly, which is part of the appeal of this Caribbean country.

But it also means that you must stay updated and know the latest steps that need to be taken in order to enter the country hassle-free.

Navigating the Changes: What’s New for 2024

Traveling to Cuba has always required careful preparation, and the last half of 2024 brings some significant updates to the visa process that travelers need to be aware of.

The New eVisa Replaces the Green Tourist Card

Up until August of this year, most people who entered Cuba did so with either a Pink Tourist Card or a Green Tourist Card.

What Has Changed?

The Green Tourist Card was a document intended for citizens of Canada, Australia, Europe, and most of Latin America. The Green Tourist Card was usually obtained online or at airports before departure.

As of late 2024, anyone who had previously entered Cuba with a Green Tourist Card or Pink Tourist Card will now be required to instead apply for the Cuban eVisa.

The eVisa has replaced the Cuban Tourist Card.

What Has Stayed the Same?

Though the Cuba eVisa is now the preferred travel document by the Cuban government for entry in Cuba, the Tourist Card can still be used until the end of 2024.

The Cuban Tourist Card must be applied for in adtvance and will be mailed to the applicant.

The Importance of Understanding These Changes

Understanding these new visa requirements is essential to avoid travel disruptions for anyone who is attempting to enter Cuba.

Thanks to the ease of the eVisa, the only difference now in documentation is the price.

For US citizens, the price is $65. For all others it will be $50.

Travelers should stay informed about these changes and prepare their documentation accordingly. By doing so, they can focus on enjoying their trip to Cuba without worrying about visa-related issues.

Step-By-Step: How to Apply for Your Cuban Visa

Depending on what type of visa you need, the application process will vary.

Let’s look at the different ways to apply for the necessary documentation to enter the country.

Applying for an Embassy Visa

As mentioned earlier, not everyone will enter Cuba with a Tourist Card or eVisa.

People from the following countries will need to apply for an Embassy Visa before they visit Cuba:

If you are a native of one of the above countries, you’ll need to contact your local Cuban embassy or Cuban consulate to determine the steps you need to take to apply for a visa. Make sure you do this well in advance of your travels so as not to encounter any delays.

Note: Those who are Cuban citizens or Cubans living abroad won’t need a Cuban visa to enter or exit the country. Of course, the Cuban government does require them to travel with a valid passport.

Applying for the eVisa

Applying for the eVisa can be done through the Cuban embassy website online or at our website: www.easytouristcard.com.

All eVisa applications will be processed within 3 business days, but it’s always a good idea to complete your application as soon as possible to avoid delays.

With any sort of Cuban visa application, know that the visa is valid from the moment it's issued.

Once you enter the country, you’ll have 90 days before it expires. If you need or wish to stay longer, you can apply for an extension for another 90 days.

All eVisas can be extended for an extra 90 days while you are in Cuba. You’ll need to visit an immigration office to do this.
