MIAMI—Most travelers visiting Cuba in the coming months will have to comply with a requirement that Havana is imposing in order to “modernize” its consular services.
Cuban official media reported that the new requirement will be mandatory for international travelers to enter the island as of June 30, 2025.
Cuba Imposes Its Electronic Tourist Visa
As previously announced by the Cuban government, international travelers visiting the island for tourism purposes will have to undergo a virtual visa process, which allows it to move “towards a more modern consular system adapted to current needs.”Who Will Need the Cuban E-Visa and How to Obtain It?
The requirements apply to foreigners from countries not included in Cuba’s visa exemption. International travelers from the island with a Cuban passport do not need to apply for the electronic visa.
However, relatives with citizenship from other countries—including children—will need to complete the paperwork to travel to the island. In cases where it is necessary, the electronic visa page must be accessed within 72 hours of entering Cuban territory.
According to Granma, by doing so, travelers receive a 10-character code, which they then enter into the platform called D’Viajeros, which provides the digital form for entry to Cuba, generating a QR code to present to the immigration authority.
