Valid Passport
If you do not have a passport it is important to apply for one as soon as possible. It often takes four to six weeks to process the paperwork for a passport (and even longer during the peak travel season of March to August).
If you have a passport, please note it needs to be valid for up to 6 months after your scheduled departure date.
It is also important that you have at least one completely blank page (with no stamps or visas) in your passport. This is a requirement for entry into many countries. If your passport is nearly full it might be a good idea to apply for additional pages.
If you are a U.S. citizen and need assistance with obtaining a new passport, we recommend working with G3 Visas and Passports to make the process smooth and easy.
*Note: Make several photocopies of your passport. Leave a copy at home with your family and carry a copy with you at all times when you are overseas. If you should lose your passport, having a copy will speed up the process of replacing it.
Visa / Tourist Card
The Cuban government requires all citizens traveling* to Cuba to obtain a Cuban visa prior to their arrival in Cuba. A Cuban visa is also known as a "tourist card” and is valid for a single entry for 30 days in the country.
You can obtain your visa online through Cuba Travel Services for $85**. Cuba has now an eVISA (electronic visa).
