Understanding Today’s Travel Process: eVisa and d’viajeros

Traveling to Cuba used to involve mailing paperwork, waiting for physical tourist cards, or standing in long lines at the embassy. Not anymore.

Today, the entire process is streamlined, secure, and completely digital — designed for travelers who want to spend less time on logistics and more time planning their adventures. When you apply with EasyTouristCard, you’ll receive an official eVisa number delivered straight to your inbox.

This number is your key to entry and replaces the need for the old pink and green tourist cards you may have heard about in the past. Once you have your eVisa number, you’ll complete Cuba’s required D’Viajeros form — a quick online form that captures your travel details.

Important Travel Requirements To Remember

Before you head to Cuba, make sure these essentials are ready:

1

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.

2

You must complete the D’Viajeros form within seven days of your departure.

3

You’ll need proof of travel health insurance that covers your time in Cuba. Many airlines include this automatically, but it’s good to double-check.

4

Your Cuba Tourist Visa is valid for a single entry and a stay of up to 90 days.

If you plan to stay longer, extensions are sometimes available once you are in Cuba. Our team can help guide you if you need additional time beyond your original visa allowance.

Frequently Asked Questions
About The Cuba Tourist Visa

How long can I stay in Cuba with my tourist visa?

You can stay in Cuba for up to 90 days with a valid Tourist Visa. Extensions may be available once you’re in the country.

What is the D’Viajeros form, and why is it required?

The D’Viajeros form is Cuba’s mandatory traveler information form. Completing it generates a QR code you’ll show upon arrival.

How soon should I apply for my visa?

It’s best to apply at least two weeks before your trip to allow time for processing and completing your D’Viajeros form.

What happens after I receive my eVisa number?

After you get your eVisa number, you’ll use it to complete the D’Viajeros form online within seven days of your trip.

Is my eVisa tied to my passport?

Yes. Your eVisa number is linked to your passport information when you fill out D’Viajeros.

Do children need a tourist visa?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have a valid Cuba Tourist Visa.

Can I apply from anywhere in the world?

Yes. EasyTouristCard accepts applications from travelers worldwide.

Is travel insurance mandatory for Cuba?

Yes. Proof of travel health insurance is required for entry into Cuba.

What if I change my travel dates after applying?

Most eVisas are valid for one year from the issue date, so if your new travel dates still fall within that window, you're likely fine. However, since we issue eVisas from our existing stock, the remaining validity may be less than a full year. It is best to contact our support team to confirm that your updated travel dates are still covered.

Is EasyTouristCard a secure site to use for the application?

Absolutely. We use encrypted systems to keep your personal information safe and your application process smooth.

Is the Cuba Tourist Visa required for same-day entry and exit?

Yes. Any traveler who enters Cuba must have a valid Cuba Tourist Visa (Tourist Card), even if the visit is for the same day. There is no minimum stay requirement — entry alone triggers the visa requirement.

Important exception:
If you are only transiting through a Cuban airport and do not pass immigration (airside transit only), a tourist visa is generally not required. However, the moment you clear immigration — even for a few hours — a tourist visa is mandatory.

Is tourism a valid reason for a Cuba eVisa?

For U.S. travelers, tourism is not a permitted reason to travel to Cuba, even though Cuba issues an eVisa. Under U.S. law, travel must fall under an authorized category set by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Tourism is explicitly prohibited.

Accepted categories include educational, religious, journalistic, governmental, humanitarian activities, family visits, or Support for the Cuban People. This category requires supporting independent local businesses and engaging in activities that benefit Cuban citizens - resort tourism does not qualify.

Other travelers may have different allowances.Non-U.S. citizens (such as Canadians or EU travelers) are generally permitted to travel to Cuba for tourism, and the Cuba eVisa functions as a standard tourist visa for them.

Key points for U.S. travelers:

  • Tourism is not allowed under U.S. law
  • A Cuba eVisa does not override U.S. restrictions
  • Travel must fit an OFAC-authorized category
