Information
All travelers to Cuba must have a visa from the Cuban
government prior to reserving your flight. The cost of
the visa and for preparing the documents is $120. There are
two different forms. One for those born in Cuba and one for
those born outside Cuba.
- For those born in Cuba you must have 5 photographs and
must fill out the visa application form with five
copies. In addition there is a separate requirement for
those who permanently left Cuba after December 31, 1970.
Those that left Cuba after this date are required to
have a valid Cuban passport. If you do not have a Cuban
passport and you left Cuba after December 31, 1970 you
must contact the Cuban Consulate in Washington D.C. to
get the required paperwork (202) 797-8609, 797-8610.
- Those Cubans that left Cuba permanently prior to 1959
can acquire a slightly less expensive visa called a 359
Visa. This visa must be acquired directly with the Cuban
Consulate in Washington D.C.
- Those people born in Cuba that left Cuba permanently
before December 31, 1970 do not have to have a Cuban
Passport.
- All travelers must have either a United States
passport or residency card that is valid at least six
months after the planned travel date.
- Those travelers that were not born in Cuba must
provide two photographs and fill out a separate visa
application form with five copies.
- Generally speaking you should allow thirty days for
the processing of your visa.
Reservations
Once you have both your license and visa and have filled
out the travel affidavit you will be ready to make your
flight reservations. It is highly suggested that you prepay
for your airfare at the same time you pay for your visa
processing. The reason for this is that the flights to Cuba
must be authorized every month. Once authorized, the flights
fill up almost immediately. Therefore, in order to ensure
you get the dates you prefer it is essential that we have
all your paperwork processed in advance.
Cancellation policy All cancellations must be
received in writing. Cancellations received more than three
working days prior to the flight incur a $25 penalty.
Cancellations received less than three days prior to
departure incur a $50 penalty.
