¨CUBA ELECTRONIC TOURIST VISA¨ (E-VISA)

Traveling to Cuba in 2025 is easier and more modern thanks to the digitization of the immigration process, but it requires certain mandatory steps to be followed. Preparing your e-Visa, D'Viajeros form, and medical insurance in advance will ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience upon arrival on the island.

To enter Cuba as a tourist, all travelers must meet the following requirements:

1. Valid passport: Valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.
2. Electronic tourist visa (E-VISA): Mandatory since July 2024.
3. Digital D'Viajeros form: Must be completed before travel.
4. Travel medical insurance: Mandatory and must include international medical coverage.
5. Round-trip ticket: Required as proof of departure from the country.

The Cuban e-Visa replaces the old physical tourist card. It is an official digital document issued by the Cuban immigration authorities that authorizes entry into the country for tourism purposes.

Validity of the e-Visa

• Duration: Up to 90 days stay, extendable once (total 180 days maximum).
• Type: Valid for a single entry.

To apply for the e-Visa, you only need to:
