Cuban Consulates have adopted temporary measures due to the Coronavirus in force as of 19 March, as follows:
1. Consular procedures remotely will be enhanced
2. Cuban citizens who are currently abroad in countries where biometric data capture is being applied, will be able to obtain their passports without having to visit consulates and consular offices until 30 April of this year. For this purpose, they must use the application form available on the website of each Consulate or Consular Post, and comply with the photo and signature quality requirements. After the above-mentioned date, this measure will be re-evaluated in the light of the evolution of the international epidemiological situation.
3. Cuban citizens close to completing 24 months of uninterrupted stay abroad will not need to request extensions as of 19 March 2020 and will be able to remain outside Cuba until further notice, while maintaining their status as Permanent Residents in the national territory.
