feature-image-for-blog-39-easy-tourist-card

Si tienes planes de visitar Cuba, es crucial que te familiarices con D’VIAJEROS, la plataforma oficial que la República de Cuba ha establecido para facilitar el proceso de ingreso al país. Este sistema no solo centraliza la información de los viajeros, sino que también simplifica los trámites necesarios con los servicios migratorios, sanitarios y aduaneros.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

¿Qué es D'VIAJEROS?

D’VIAJEROS es una plataforma en línea que permite a los viajeros que ingresan a Cuba completar un formulario con su información personal, migratoria y de salud. Aunque originalmente fue implementado en respuesta a la pandemia de COVID-19, el formulario de viaje D’VIAJEROS ha evolucionado para convertirse en un requisito esencial para todos los visitantes de la isla.

¿Por qué es Importante Completar D'VIAJEROS?

Este formulario es un documento gubernamental cubano y obligatorio y debe ser completado dentro de las 7 dias previas a tu llegada a Cuba. Una vez finalizado, se generará un código QR que deberás presentar a tu aerolínea y a las autoridades cubanas al ingresar al país. Desde junio de 2024, si tu nacionalidad permite tramitar la Cuba eVisa, también tendrás que incluir el código de la eVisa en el formulario D’VIAJEROS para asegurar que la eVisa queda correctamente ligada a tu pasaporte, pudiendo así entrar en el país.

Cómo Completar D'VIAJEROS: Paso a Paso

El proceso para completar el formulario D’VIAJEROS es sencillo, pero requiere atención a los detalles. A continuación te damos nuestras recomendaciones sobre cómo rellenar las distintas secciones del formulario.

1. Accede a la Plataforma:

Para comenzar, accede a la plataforma D’VIAJEROS a través de este enlace. Recomendamos tener a mano tu pasaporte, la información de tu vuelo y los detalles de tu alojamiento en Cuba antes de iniciar el formulario, ya que esto agilizará el proceso.

2. Crear o Editar un Formulario:
  • Primera vez: Si es la primera vez que utilizas D’VIAJEROS, selecciona “Crear Formulario”.
  • Editar un formulario existente: Si ya completaste el formulario pero necesitas hacer cambios, selecciona “Editar Formulario”. Podrás hacer modificaciones cuantas veces sea necesario, incluso después de la fecha original de tu viaje, siempre que no hayas utilizado el código QR para entrar a Cuba. El sistema solicitará tu número de formulario y de pasaporte para recuperar los datos ingresados en el sistema, así que recuerda apuntar el número de formulario que aparecerá al completar el proceso.
3. Secciones del Formulario D'VIAJEROS:

El formulario está dividido en cuatro secciones principales:

  • Información General del Viajero 
  • Información Migratoria
  • Información Sanitaria
  • Información de Aduanas

Veamos cada sección en detalle

3.1 Información General del Viajero

Esta sección solicita una serie de datos que están marcados como obligatorios en el formulario:

  • Nombre
  • Apellido
  • Fecha de nacimiento Género
  • País de nacimiento
  • País emisor del pasaporte con el que se viajará
  • Número de pasaporte
  • País de residencia permanente
Los campos que pueden generar dudas son:
  • País emisor del pasaporte: es el país donde te sacaste el pasaporte. Normalmente será el mismo donde vives, aunque en ocasiones puedes haber expedido el pasaporte en otro país por una necesidad puntual. Si tienes dudas, en EasyTouristCard ayudamos a nuestros clientes a completar el formulario D’VIAJEROS.
  • País de residencia permanente es donde pagas tus impuestos. Es decir, si te has ido a estudiar o a vivir fuera de forma temporal, ese NO es tu país de residencia.

Por último, y para ahorrar tiempo, generalmente recomendamos no rellenar los datos opcionales: segundo nombre, correo o teléfono.

3.2 Información Migratoria

Esta sección recopila datos sobre tu llegada a Cuba. Los datos que debes rellenar obligatoriamente son:

image05-blog-40-easy-tourist-card
  • Fecha de llegada
  • Número de vuelo
  • Aerolínea
  • Punto de entrada a Cuba 
  • País de origen del viajero
  • Motivo del viaje
Los campos que ocasionan más dudas son:
  • Fecha de llegada: los viajeros observarán que el desplegable sólo permitirá seleccionar uno de los 3 próximos días. Este requisito es bastante engorroso ya que el viajero debe acordarse de rellenar este formulario 3 días antes de viajar. Por eso, en EasyTouristCard, ofrecemos a todos los clientes que tramitan la Cuba eVisa con nosotros, rellenar el formulario D’VIAJEROS en su nombre. Nuestro sistema automatizado, permite realizar esta tarea tediosa de forma rápida y eficaz, evitando olvidos de última hora.
  • País de origen del viajero: se debe seleccionar el punto de partida del viaje, no la nacionalidad del viajero. Es decir un pasajero Aleman viajando a Cuba desde España, deberá seleccionar España.
  • Motivo del viaje: el desplegable nos da 5 opciones: residencia en Cuba, trabajo, transbordo, tránsito, turismo, visita. El único motivo que permite una entrada con eVisa es turismo. Al seleccionar este motivo, se habilitará una nueva casilla en el formulario para introducir el número de Visa Electrónica. Si todavía no tiene su número de visa electrónica, consigalo a través nuestro de forma rápida y sencilla aquí.
3.3 Información Sanitaria

Esta sección, inicialmente destinada a gestionar la crisis sanitaria ocasionada por la COVID 19, se utiliza actualmente para especificar los datos de alojamiento durante la estancia en Cuba. Los únicos datos obligatorios de esta sección son:

  • Lugar de alojamiento (hotel, residencia o casa privada)
  • Dirección de la casa o residencia, o nombre del hotel
  • Provincia del alojamiento

 Al no ser obligatorios el resto de datos, recomendamos no rellenarlos para agilizar el trámite. Actualmente no se requiere ningún tipo de prueba sanitaria para entrar en Cuba. No obstante, los viajeros que deseen hacerlo, pueden completar estos datos del formulario.

3.4 Información de Aduanas

La última sección del formulario D’VIAJEROS es la información de Aduanas. Aquí se te preguntará si llevas equipaje no acompañado o si tienes algo que declarar en aduana. La mayoría de los viajeros responde “No” en esta sección. El resto de datos son opcionales y la mayoría de viajeros no los completa para agilizar el proceso.

image08-blog-40-easy-tourist-card
image09-blog-40-easy-tourist-card
4. Finalizar y Descargar el formulario

En el último paso, deberás enviar el formulario, lo que te llevará a una pantalla de confirmación como la siguiente:

image10-blog-40-easy-tourist-card

Recomendamos apuntar el código privado, ya que es necesario para editar el formulario tantas veces como sea necesario en el futuro. Este es un buen momento para descargar el PDF y guardarlo en un dispositivo móvil o imprimirlo. El PDF contiene un código QR que deberás presentar a la aerolínea para embarcar y durante el proceso migratorio a la entrada de Cuba.

feature-image-for-blog-39-easy-tourist-card

If you’re planning to visit Cuba, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with D’VIAJEROS, the official platform established by the Republic of Cuba to streamline the entry process into the country. 

This system not only centralizes traveler information but also simplifies the necessary procedures with immigration, health, and customs services.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

What is D'VIAJEROS?

D’VIAJEROS is an online platform that allows travelers entering Cuba to complete a form with their personal, immigration, and health information. 

Although it was originally implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cuba D’VIAJEROS travel form has evolved into a critical requirement for all visitors to the island.

Why is Completing D'VIAJEROS Important?

This form is mandatory Cuban government’s form and must be completed within 7 days before your arrival in Cuba. 

Once completed, a QR code will be generated, which you must present to your airline and to Cuban authorities upon entering the country. 

Starting June 2024, if your nationality allows for the Cuba eVisa, you will also need to include the eVisa code in the D’VIAJEROS form to ensure that the eVisa is correctly linked to your passport, enabling your entry into the country.

Pre-Completion Tips for D'VIAJEROS

image02-blog-39-easy-tourist-card
  • Plan Out Your Time: Completing the form typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes if you have all the necessary information ready. The form will require your passport details, flight information, and accommodation details, among other things. We recommend setting aside 30 minutes to complete the form without interruptions.
  • Modifications are Allowed: You can modify the form as many times as needed using your passport number and the code generated upon completing the form.
  • No Need if Your Traveling by Cruise or Boat: Currently, D’VIAJEROS is not applicable for travelers arriving by cruise or boat, as flight information is required to complete the form. You will need to fill out immigration forms upon arrival in Cuba.

How to Complete D'VIAJEROS: Step by Step

The process of completing the D’VIAJEROS form is straightforward, but it requires attention to detail. Here are our recommendations on how to fill out the various sections of the form:

1. Access the Platform:

To start, access the D’VIAJEROS platform with an internet connection and through this link. 

We recommend having your passport information, flight information, and accommodation details in Cuba on hand before starting the form, as this will expedite the process. In the upper right corner, you can set the language to English

2. Creating or Editing a Form:
  • First time:If this is your first time using D’VIAJEROS, select “Form Request.”
  • Editing an existing form: If you have already completed the form but need to make changes, select “Edit Form”. You can modify the form as many times as necessary, even after the original travel date, as long as you haven’t used the QR code to enter Cuba. The system will ask for your form number and passport number to retrieve the data entered, so remember to note down the form number that will appear upon completing the process.
3. Sections of the D'VIAJEROS Form:

The form is divided into four main sections:

3.1 Traveler's General Information:

This section requires a series of fields that are marked mandatory, including:

  • Name
  • Surname
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender
  • Country of Birth
  • Passport Issuing Country
  • Passport Number
  • Permanent Residence Country
3.1 Traveler's General Information:

To save time, we generally recommend not filling out optional fields such as middle name, email, or phone number.

Fields that may cause confusion:
  • Passport Issuing Country: This is the country where you obtained your passport. It is usually the same as your country of residence, although you may have obtained the passport in another country for specific reasons. If in doubt, EasyTouristCard can assist our clients in completing the D’VIAJEROS form.
  • Permanent Residence Country: This is where you pay your taxes. If you are temporarily studying or living abroad, that is NOT your country of residence.
3.2 Migratory Information:

This section gathers details about your arrival in Cuba. The mandatory fields to complete are:

Migratory Information:
  • Arrival Date
  • Flight Number
  • Airline
  • Point of Entry into Cuba
  • Traveler’s Country of Origin
  • Purpose of Travel

This section gathers details about your arrival in Cuba. The mandatory fields to complete are:

Fields that often cause confusion:
  • Arrival Date: Travelers will notice that the drop-down menu only allows the selection of one of the next three calendar days. This requirement can be inconvenient as the traveler must remember to fill out this form three days before traveling. That’s why at EasyTouristCard, we offer all clients who process their Cuba eVisa with us the option to complete the D’VIAJEROS form on their behalf. Our automated system makes this tedious task quick and efficient, avoiding last-minute stress.
  • Traveler’s Country of Origin: This refers to the point of departure, not the traveler’s nationality. For example, a German passenger traveling to Cuba from the USA must select USA.
Purpose of Travel:
  • Purpose of Travel: The drop-down menu offers five options: residence in Cuba, tourism, transhipment, transit, visit, or work. US citizens must travel to Cuba under one of the 12 OFAC categories approved by the US Government Department of State. However, when completing the D’VIAJEROS form, they should select “Tourism.” This option allows them to enter their eVisa code into the system. If you don’t have your electronic visa number yet, you can obtain it quickly and easily through us here.
3.3 Sanitary Information: :

This section, initially intended to manage the health crisis caused by COVID-19, is now used to specify accommodation details during your stay in Cuba. The only mandatory fields in this section are:

  • Accommodation (hotel, residence, or private house)
  • Address of the house or residence, or hotel name
  • Province of accommodation

Since the rest of the fields are not mandatory, we recommend not filling them out to speed up the process. Currently, no health tests are required to enter Cuba. However, travelers who wish to do so can complete these fields in the form.

Sanitary Information:
3.4 Customs Information:

The final section of the D’VIAJEROS form pertains to customs information.

You will be asked if you are carrying unaccompanied luggage or if you have anything to declare at customs. Most travelers answer “No” in these two fields. All remaining questions are optional, and most travelers leave them blank to speed up the process.

Customs Information:
Finalizing and Confirming:
4. Finalizing and Confirming:

In the next step, you will submit the form, leading to a confirmation screen. We recommend noting down the private code, as it is necessary to edit the form as many times as needed.

Form Completed

This is also a good time to download the PDF and save it on a mobile device or print it. The PDF contains a QR code that you will need to present to the airline to board and upon entry to the country.

If, for any reason, you do not travel to Cuba, you can edit this form later and use your eVisa for a future entry.

How Can I Get a Cuba Visa?

image02-blog-38-easy-tourist-card

Despite the recent changes, there are still some different ways for international travelers to get a Cuban tourist visa, depending on their nationality.

The Embassy Visa:

Citizens of a handful of countries (around 20) will not be able to apply for their Cuba visa online.

These individuals will still need to go to a Cuban embassy or Cuban consulate in order to receive their travel documentation.

As of now, the countries that are required to obtain an embassy visa are as follows:

Make sure you check with your local Cuban embassy to determine your eligibility requirements and whether you have the correct documentation before you set off for your visa. Rules can often change when it comes to international travel and it’s always a good idea to be overly prepared instead of surprised.

Online Services:

There are two options to get the eVisa online:

1) Through EasyTouristCard – we offer convenient forms and payment methods, the fastest turnaround, and piece of mind helping completing DVIAJEROS.

2) Through the Cuban embassy – they have cumbersome forms, offline payment methods (money orders, checks, wire transfers), lengthy processes and no help with DVIAJEROS

Filling out the online application at Easy Tourist Card is straightforward and fast, as well as being a safe way to process and receive your documents.

How Much Does a Cuban Visa Cost?

At Easy Tourist Card, the cost of a Cuban visa can vary depending on the method of application, whether or not you need your documents expedited, and what you are applying for.

For standard service (72 hours): $50

For US citizens standard service (72 hours): $65

For rush service (12 hours): $80

For US citizens rush service (12 hours): $95

How Many Times Can I Enter Cuba with my eVisa?

That said, the visa is good for up to 90 days and can be renewed for another 90 days once you are in the country.

What is a D’Viajeros Form?

The D’Viajeros (which means “for travelers” in Spanish) is a mandatory form that needs to be filled before arriving in Cuba. This form will contain information about your arrival flight, your destination address in Cuba, and your passport details. Once the form is completed, your eVisa is then officially linked to your passport. The DViajeros form then generates a PDF with a QR code that travelers can use to enter Cuba.

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

feature-image-for-blog-37-easy-tourist-card

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.

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.

image01-blog-37-easy-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
image03-blog-37-easy-tourist-card

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.

feature-image-for-blog-36-easy-tourist-card

Traveling to a country as complex as Cuba can be a fantastic experience.

That said, the journey to get there may be more complicated than you planned.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

While traveling with a visa has long been the standard for entering Cuba, there are new rules around what type of document you need, how you can get it, and who needs which kind.

Let’s sort out the details of the entry process to make sure you’re fully prepared for this trip of a lifetime.

Unless you are a Cuban citizen, there’s a good chance you need some sort of travel documentation to enter the country.

The Cuban government has strict requirements around this rule.

Along with a valid passport, most people will need to apply for a Cuban visa before they begin their travels.

While there are a handful of countries that will need to apply for an embassy visa through a Cuba embassy or Cuban consulate, most individuals will instead apply for a Cuba visa online.

There are two different types that are available online: the Cuban eVisa and the Pink Tourist Card.

The Cuban eVisa
image01-blog-36-easy-tourist-card

Up until recently, anyone from Canada, Australia, Europe, or most of Latin America who wanted to travel to Cuba would have applied for a Green Tourist Card.

As of August 2024, this is no longer the case.

Instead, those eligible for the Green Tourist Card will now be able to apply for the eVisa, a travel document that's available exclusively online.

Through sites like Easy Tourist Card, the eVisa can be applied for from your computer. These will be processed in 3 days, but can be done in one day if needed.

The Pink Tourist Visa

While the eVisa has now become the standard entry document for most people, the Pink Tourist Visa still remains for others.

If you are an American citizen or are traveling from U.S. soil, you will still need to apply for the Pink Tourist Card before you can enter Cuba.

The Pink Tourist Card can be applied for here and will be mailed directly to you, unlike the eVisa which will be sent via email.

So remember: if you are a United States citizen or a person who is traveling to Cuba from the United States, you must still apply for the Pink Tourist Card as of now.

The Relationship Between the U.S. and Cuba

image03-blog-36-easy-tourist-card

The relationship between Cuba and the United States has been a historically complicated one and the visa application process still reflects that.

While Americans are not permitted to travel to Cuba for tourism purposes, they can travel with a Pink Cuba Tourist Card under one of the 12 OFAC guidelines.

The OFAC (the Office of Foreign Assets Control), is a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This department is responsible for implementing and enforcing economic and trade sanctions in alignment with U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives.

When it comes to Cuba, the OFAC has outlined 12 reasons why Americans can travel to Cuba. These areas include:

  • Support for the Cuban People: Participating in activities that improve the lives of the Cuban people, bolster civil society, and encourage independent initiatives.
  • Humanitarian Projects: Engaging in projects that directly benefit the Cuban people, such as medical and environmental efforts.
  • Educational Activities: Taking part in educational programs or activities that involve interaction with the Cuban people.
  • Journalistic Activity: Traveling for journalistic purposes and activities that support news reporting.
  • Family Visits: Visiting close relatives in Cuba.
  • Official Government Business: Traveling for official purposes related to the U.S. government, foreign governments, or intergovernmental organizations.
  • Professional Research and Meetings: Traveling for research purposes or to attend professional meetings.
  • Religious Activities: Traveling for religious purposes, including attending services or participating in missionary work.
  • Public Performances and Competitions: Taking part in public performances, sports competitions, or similar events.
  • Activities of Private Foundations or Institutes: Participating in activities organized by private foundations, research, or educational institutes.
  • Exportation, Importation, or Transmission of Information: Traveling for purposes related to the export, import, or transmission of information or informational materials.
  • Certain Export Transactions under Department of Commerce Regulations: Traveling for specific transactions authorized under existing Department of Commerce guidelines.

For most Americans, it’s suggested that they travel to Cuba under the “Support for the Cuban People” guideline, as it aligns best with most leisure travel. Keeping tax receipts from items purchased in the country will prove the support.

Being Prepared: Why Travel Insurance is a Must

Having travel insurance with medical coverage is mandatory for visitors to Cuba.

Upon arrival, authorities may conduct spot checks to ensure you have sufficient travel insurance for your stay, including coverage for any potential medical treatment.

If you cannot provide proof of insurance upon entry, you may be denied entry or required to purchase a policy from the state’s tourist assistance company.

At Easy Tourist Card, we offer Cuban travel insurance through our partner, IATI, which you can select during checkout.

You may also choose to purchase comprehensive travel insurance in advance or check to see if you are already covered through your current health insurance.

You’ll want to be able to show that your insurance covers emergency medical treatment, evacuation, and repatriation in case of a medical crisis. Be sure to carry a printed copy of your insurance certificate in your hand luggage.

Top Tips for Smooth Travel: How to Apply for a Cuba Visa Online

feature-image-for-blog-35-easy-tourist-card

International travel is on the top of most people’s bucket lists, but preparing for it usually is not.

From obtaining the right documents to sorting out directions from one spot to the next, preparing for a trip can be tedious and time-consuming.

But if you’re planning a trip to Cuba, travel planning just got much easier with the introduction of the new Cuba eVisa.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cuba is a country full of history and charm but hasn’t always been the easiest place to visit.

Today, however, the Cuban government is working to change that.

Read on to discover how.

Know Before You Go: Sorting Out the Visa Process

Depending on where you live and your nationality, the type of visa you need for Cuba will vary.

While Cuban citizens will never need a visa to enter or exit the country, most other nationalities will need some sort of visa in order to make it through customs.

Cuban Tourist Card

image01-blog-35-easy-tourist-card

Until recently, most people who wanted to visit Cuba would need to apply for a Cuba Tourist Card.

Cuban tourist cards came in two colors — green and pink — and could usually be obtained at the airport, through a travel agency, or online visa for Cuba.

The Green Tourist Card (Now Known as the eVisa)

The Cuban government has shifted away from using the Green Tourist Card and now anyone who was eligible for the Green Tourist Card can obtain a Cuban eVisa instead.

Citizens from Canada, Australia, Europe, and most Latin American countries are eligible for the eVisa application.

As the name implies, these visas can be obtained from online sites. Most can be processed quite quickly and are valid from the moment you receive them. 

They are then linked electronically linked to your passport, so no physical document is ever required.

The Pink Tourist Card

For American citizens — or anyone traveling from America — the Pink Tourist Card is still the document you’ll need to obtain in order to visit Cuba.

American citizens and those starting their travel on U.S. soil can not apply for an eVisa as of now.

While these are the current regulations for travel documentation to Cuba, these rules are still subject to change. You may want to contact your local embassy or check back here to stay up-to-date on any changes in the visa application rules.

The Embassy Visa

An embassy visa is available at a Cuban embassy or Cuban consulate. These can not be applied for online or at the airport.

If you are from any of the following countries, you'll need to apply for an embassy visa by using a Cuba visa application form:

Before going to the Cuban embassy, it’s a good idea to check and make sure you have all your necessary documents beforehand. You’ll also want to make sure you fill out the Cuban visa online application form well in advance of your trip to avoid any delays in your departure.

Planning Ahead: Other Needed Documents for Cuban Travel

image02-blog-35-easy-tourist-card

Not only will most people need some sort of visa to travel to Cuba, but there are other requirements as well.

These typically include the following:

DViajeros Form:

This is a mandatory form that travelers need to fill out 3 days before arriving to Cuba. This form has information about your arrival flight, your destination address in Cuba and passport details. Once the form is completed, your eVisa is then officially linked to your passport. The DViajeros form then generates a PDF with a QR code that travelers can use to enter Cuba.

Your Original Passport:

You’ll need to have a valid passport to enter the country of Cuba. This will need to be your original (no photocopies) and still have 6 months of validity from the date of your travel. A damaged passport may not be accepted, so take care to ensure it’s in good shape before you begin your journey.

Health Insurance:

Travelers may be asked to present an insurance policy or certificate valid for their stay in Cuba. The plan should cover medical evacuation by air, medical emergencies, and repatriation.

Return Air Ticket and Proof of Funds:

You’ll need to make sure you’ve already booked your return airline ticket and have proof of it when you arrive in Cuba. You may also be asked to show that you have sufficient funds while there. For this reason, it’s a good idea to travel with a copy of a bank statement that can prove this.

Confirmed Accommodation:

You need to have your accommodation booked, whether it’s a hotel or private lodging like a guesthouse (Casa Particular). Note that we are not responsible for any issues arising from staying in unlicensed accommodations.

Cuba Tourist Card: What It Is and Who Needs It

(Some visitors will need a Cuba visa, which can not be obtained online. Click here to see a list of countries that will need to visit an embassy to obtain a Cuba visa.)

It’s also important to note that Cuban citizens and Cubans living abroad who still maintain Cuban citizenship won’t need a visa to enter the country.

Does a Cuban Tourist Card Differ from Traditional Visas?

While the terms “Cuban Tourist Card” and “Cuban Tourist Visa” are often used interchangeably, there are distinct differences between a tourist card and a traditional visa.

image01-blog-34-easy-tourist-card

The Cuba Tourist Card

A Cuban Tourist Card can be obtained relatively easily online, or through some airlines and travel agencies.

Most countries — including Europe, North America, South America, and Central America — can travel to Cuba if they have a valid passport and fill out the Cuba Tourist Card application.

That said, there are two different types of Cuba Tourist Cards, and you’ll need to know the difference before you apply.

Please Note: As in the past, those citizens from certain countries will still need to apply for a regular visa in order to enter Cuba. Please refer to our website for a detailed list of countries who currently need a standard visa to visit Cuba.

Green Tourist Card vs. Pink Tourist Card: Which One is For Me?

The Cuban Tourist Card comes in two colors and two specific sets of rules surrounding them.

Which one you need is dependent on your nationality and your travel point of departure.

The Green Tourist Card:

Who Needs It: Non-United States citizens flying to Cuba from any country other than the United States.

Validity: Typically valid for a single entry for 90 days, with the possibility of a one-time extension for another 90 days once you’re in the country.

The Pink Tourist Card:

Who Needs It: All Americans, as well as any traveler flying to Cuba directly from the United States, regardless of their nationality.

Validity: Same as the green card, typically valid for 90 days with a possible extension for another 90 days as well.

While the Pink Tourist Card is slightly more expensive than the Green Tourist Card, both are readily available online and can be delivered fairly quickly, particularly if you choose to work with an online processing site like Easy Tourist Card.

How Do I Apply for My Cuba Visa Online? USA Rules Are Different than Others

How Do I Apply for My Cuba Visa Online? USA Rules Are Different than Others

feature-image-for-blog-33-easy-tourist-card

You’re planning a trip to Cuba, but the rules seem so confusing…

As an American, you've heard that you have to apply for a certain type of tourist visa, no matter where your adventure starts from.

You’ve also heard that you must meet specific rules of travel before you can enter Cuba.

How can you determine which Cuban entry document is the right one for you?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you are an American citizen who is planning a trip to Cuba, chances are you have a long list of questions about the visa process.

But here’s the good news…

Applying for a Cuban visa online is a straightforward process, one that you can easily master with a few pointers and the right website to guide you through the intricate details.

Let’s get started!

Navigating OFAC Requirements for Americans

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is a part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals.

More simply put:

The OFAC ensures that American citizens don’t engage in financial or trade activities with countries, entities, or individuals that the U.S. government has sanctioned, due to concerns about national security or foreign policy.

Because of the complicated relationship that has existed between the U.S. and Cuba for years, travel regulations to this Caribbean country have frequently changed, making it essential for travelers to stay informed about the latest requirements and restrictions.

Best Regulation for Americans Traveling to Cuba

In order for a United States citizen to travel to Cuba, they will need to qualify for a “general license” under one of 12 approved categories, outlined by the OFAC:

  • Support for the Cuban People: Engaging in activities that enhance the lives of the Cuban people, support civil society, and promote independent initiatives.
  • Humanitarian Projects: Contributing to projects directly benefiting the Cuban people, including medical and environmental initiatives.
  • Educational Activities: Participating in educational programs or activities involving interaction with Cuban people.
  • Journalistic Activity: Traveling for journalistic purposes and activities supporting news reporting.
  • Family Visits: Visiting close relatives in Cuba.
image2-blog-33-easy-tourist-card
  • Official Government Business: Traveling for official U.S. government, foreign government, or intergovernmental organization purposes.
  • Professional Research and Meetings: Traveling for research or attendance at professional meetings.
  • Religious Activities: Traveling for religious purposes, including attending services or engaging in missionary work.
  • Public Performances and Competitions: Participating in public performances, sports competitions, or similar events.
  • Activities of Private Foundations or Institutes: Engaging in activities organized by private foundations, research, or educational institutes.
  • Exportation, Importation, or Transmission of Information: Traveling related to the export, import, or transmission of information or informational materials.
  • Certain Export Transactions under Department of Commerce Regulations: Traveling for specific transactions authorized under existing Department of Commerce guidelines.

Most U.S. citizens traveling to Cuba will find the “Support for the Cuban People” category to be the most applicable for their visit to Cuba.

This category covers a broad range of activities aimed at enhancing the lives of the Cuban people and supporting civil society.

The Cuban Tourist Visa…Which One is Right for Americans?

The Cuban Tourist Card serves as the entry authorization for leisure travelers from a select group of countries.

Citizens from the following countries can apply for a Cuban Tourist Card:

image3-blog-33-easy-tourist-card

Albania, Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City.

One of the biggest advantages of the Cuban Tourist Card is that there is no need to visit a Cuban embassy or Cuban consulate in order to apply for the document.

The Cuban Tourist Card is available online, making the entire process much easier than a traditional travel visa.

Not only can you apply for the Tourist Visa from the comfort of your own home, but it will be shipped directly to your personal address as well.

The Green or the Pink? Which Cuba Tourist Card Do Americans Need?

While the term “Tourist Card” might seem straightforward, Cuba’s system includes two distinct versions: the Green Tourist Card and the Pink Tourist Card.

The Pink Tourist Card:

The Pink Tourist Card: This card is specifically for travelers whose journey to Cuba starts in the United States, regardless of their nationality.

Even if you hold a passport from another country, but your trip begins in the U.S., you’ll need the Pink Tourist Card.

It’s also a requirement for American citizens, no matter where their travel originates.

NOTE: While there have been some reports of Americans entering Cuba with a Green Tourist Card (if their travel starts from outside the United States) it is strongly suggested that ALL Americans apply for the Pink Tourist Card to be on the safe side.

The Green Tourist Card:

The Green Tourist Card: This card is for everyone who is not an American citizen and who is not traveling from the United States.

If you’re starting your trip to Cuba from a country other than the United States AND you are a citizen of another country, you will apply for the Green Tourist Card.

The New eVisa: What It Means for You

Who Will Need the eVisa?

While there is still much to learn about the eVisa process, it’s believed that this entry document will only replace the Cuba Tourist Card and not the regular visa.

For those who are required to apply for a regular Cuba visa before travel, it’s expected that this requirement will remain unchanged.

Common Visa Rules for All Travelers

Regardless of what type of entry visa you need, there are certain documents that all travelers will need unless they are Cuban citizens or hold a Cuban passport.

  • Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the destination country. It should have at least one or two blank pages for visa stamps.
  • Visa Application: Most citizens from foreign countries will need to obtain an entry visa, whether it’s a Tourist Card for the countries listed above.
  • Proof of Accommodation: You may need to provide evidence of where you will be staying during your visit, such as hotel reservations or an invitation letter from a host.
  • Proof of Sufficient Funds: Non-Cuban citizens may be required to show proof that they have enough financial resources to cover their stay. This can be shown through bank statements or a letter from your bank.
  • Health Insurance: Travelers will need to have valid health insurance that covers medical expenses during their stay.
  • Proof of Onward Travel: You might need to show proof of onward or return travel, such as a return flight ticket.

These requirements help ensure that travelers are prepared and can support themselves during their stay, reducing the risk of overstaying or requiring public assistance.

image2-blog-31-easy-tourist-card

Cuba Tourist eVisa (and who needs one)

Other than an Entry Visa, What Else Do I Need to Travel to Cuba?

Navigating the entry document process for Cuba can feel like a big undertaking, but you still have a bit of work ahead of you before you can settle into your next vacation.

These items are crucial for hassle-free entry into Cuba and staying in compliance with the nation’s immigration policies.

Remember…you’ll still want to verify the latest travel requirements before your trip, as these can change periodically.
