Cuba Launches New E-Visa Portal: Three Visa Categories Now Available Online

A passport image in PNG, JPG, or JPEG format is also required. Applicants can include up to nine additional travelers, allowing a maximum of 10 applications in one submission. The total fee is calculated according to the number of applicants.

The portal also allows users to check their visa application status and verify the validity of an issued visa.

How Much Does a Cuba E-Visa Cost?

During testing, the tourist visa fee displayed by the Cuban consulate in Paris was €30 per application. However, charges and accepted payment methods depend on the applicant's nationality and selected consulate.

Direct online card payments are not available. Applicants must follow their consulate's payment instructions, pay through an accepted method, and upload proof of payment. For Paris, the reported options are bank transfer and cheque.

Travel Agencies Also Get a Separate Facility

The portal has a dedicated section for travel agencies that are officially registered and have agreements with Cuban consulates. They can manage client applications, track progress, handle payments, and access related services. Independent agencies cannot use this facility.

D'Viajeros Declaration Remains Mandatory

Obtaining an e-Visa does not complete all travel formalities. Travellers must also submit the separate D'Viajeros declaration, which collects immigration, health, and customs information.

The declaration must be completed within 72 hours before travel under the stated regulations. Some consular guidance recommends completing it up to seven days in advance. Travellers receive a QR code that must be presented to immigration authorities on arrival.

What Should Travellers Do?

As the portal has only recently resumed operations after several days of disruption, travelers should apply early, confirm payment instructions with their consulate, and keep their passport details ready. Cuba has also made electronic tourist visas mandatory since January 2026.
