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.

How to fill in

Exceptions are countries with special regimes that require a tourist visa and some countries whose residents can enter Cuba without a VISA.

It is important to note that if you are travelling from the United States, you will need to use a pink visa (mandatory as of 12 January 2017 for tourists of all nationalities arriving in Cuba directly from the United States).

The tarjeta del turista for Cuba is a sheet of paper similar to a large stamp, which will be checked and stamped by the Cuban customs officer upon arrival in Cuba.

In addition, you will need to present your tarjeta del turista in the hotels and particular houses where you are staying.

Visa + insurance for Cuba

Another added value of our service is the possibility of purchasing a visa and insurance for Cuba together. Medical insurance for Cuba has been compulsory since 2010 and allows you to enjoy your holiday with peace of mind: without medical coverage, in fact, you would risk spending a lot of money even in case of minor medical problems, since Cuban hospitals are quite expensive and pharmacies are not always well supplied due to the embargo. Purchasing your health insurance policy online in conjunction with your VISA will save you time and money, with the option of choosing between a cheaper policy that only covers medical expenses or a comprehensive travel insurance policy.
