Apr 24 , 2023

A tourist visa for travel to Cuba is for the exclusive use of foreign citizens for tourism in Cuba.

This document must be presented by the traveller upon entering and leaving Cuba. This visa is valid for one entry into Cuban territory, for ninety days and can be extended for the same period only once. This allows the stay in Cuba for a total of 180 days.

 

There Are Two Different Types of Tourist Visas for Travel to Cuba:

 

  • The Blue colour Tourist visa, is identified in the same way as the green colour. It is useful and intended for all travellers who need a tourist visa.
  • The Pink Tourist Visa It is aimed at every traveller entering Cuba from the United States on direct or transit flights.

Both types of visas are similar and differ only in colour and price since the pink visa has a slightly higher cost than the blue visa.
