Has the lure of Cuba struck you?
It's easy to see: beautiful beaches, lush nature, Caribbean rhythms in the air and open, smiling people make this island a popular destination for travellers from all over the world. So you're already imagining yourself relaxing in the sun and diving into the ocean, exploring the streets of Havana Vieja in the footsteps of Hemingway and enjoying a good cigar. You've bought your flights and booked your accommodation - you're just a few steps away from your dream holiday! Now remember that Cuba requires a visa, and luckily you can easily obtain your Cuba visa online.
Che cos'è esattamente il visto per Cuba?
Commonly referred to as a "tarjeta de turista", a visa is required to enter the country, so you should get one as soon as possible. The "tarjeta de turista" for Cuba must be applied for before you leave and allows you to stay on the island for 30 days, with the possibility of extending this up to 60 days by paying a supplement at any immigration office, shortly before the document expires. It is not possible to extend the duration in advance, nor is it possible to purchase a visa valid for more than 30 days.
However, it is important to make one thing clear: what is called a tourist visa for Cuba corresponds to the VISA, or tarjeta turistico per Cuba. The actual "visa for Cuba" is the document required ONLY for citizens of certain countries with special regimes, who must go to the Cuban embassy or consulate in their own country to apply for and obtain it.
