General about visa application for Cuba

All citizens who wish to travel to Cuba are required to have a visa, and your visa must be applied for before your departure. We recommend that you apply well in advance, therefore starting at least 30 days before your departure.

A visa for Cuba is most often issued with a valid stay period of up to 30 days, and if you need a longer stay, it is possible to extend your visa for a period of up to 30 days.

If an extension is needed, it can be done locally in Cuba, where there is an opportunity for up to a 30 days longer stay. EU emergency passports and provisional passports are only accepted for departure, not for entry.

Upon entry, a certificate of travel health insurance must be presented, as Cuba introduced regulations on this for foreigners and Cubans living abroad on May 1, 2010.

Visa for Cuba for children & youths

When traveling to Cuba on vacation, be aware that all children must have their own passport as well as a valid visa for Cuba upon entry.

Regardless of the child’s age, the same price for a visa to Cuba applies to a child, as well as to adults.

Foreign or refugee passport

If you have a foreign or Danish refugee passport, be aware that the processing time may be longer, and we recommend that you apply at least 1.5 months before your departure.

Vaccination

When traveling to Cuba, it is recommended that you get vaccinated, and there are different needs for vaccines depending on how long a period you will be staying in Cuba.

Therefore, we recommend that you investigate which vaccines you are missing, to be well protected during your trip.

It is recommended that you get vaccinated against Hepatitis A and Diphtheria-Tetanus at a minimum.

If your stay is longer, or the trip is of a special nature with the possibility of intense exposure to infection, it may be relevant to supplement with vaccinations against Hepatitis B, Rabies, and Typhoid.
