Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Open the official eVisa-Cuba portal and choose the new visa application flow, or activate an existing agency-issued visa code.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Select nationality, country of application and the relevant Cuban consulate, then enter the passport and identity details exactly as shown on the passport.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Pay through the method shown for the selected consulate and upload payment proof if the portal requests it.

  4. After approval

    Check the email visa code and verify the visa status before travel; complete any required DViajeros traveller declaration before arrival.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Tourist eVisa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
