About the Cuba visa

Cuba is known for Havana's colourful old town and classic cars, the beaches of Varadero, the valley of Viñales and live music everywhere. Indian passport holders visiting for tourism need a Cuban tourist card, which can now be obtained online as an e-tourist card.

The tourist card usually allows a stay of up to 90 days. All travellers must also complete the free D'Viajeros online form before arrival.

Visa options, stays and fees are set by Cuba immigration and can change. We confirm the current options when you enquire.

Who can apply

  • You hold an Indian ordinary passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival, with at least two blank pages.
  • Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Cuba need a different visa.

Accommodation requirement

May be requested

Accommodation details may be required

Accommodation proof or details may be asked for during the application or at entry.

When accommodation proof is needed, a refundable hotel booking is generally safer than a non-refundable booking.

  • Photograph: Recent passport-size colour photo on a plain white background, as a digital file.
  • Flights: Confirmed return or onward ticket showing your dates into and out of Cuba.
  • Accommodation: Hotel booking, tour voucher or your host's address and contact details in Cuba.
  • D'Viajeros form: Free online form completed before arrival.
  • Travel insurance: Medical insurance valid in Cuba is required for all visitors.

The exact document checklist for Cuba is set by its immigration authorities and can change. Contact VisaAdvisory for guidance specific to your trip, and verify on the official immigration or visa portal before payment or travel.

02

Get your documents ready

Scan your passport, photo, tickets and accommodation details. We check them for mistakes before anything is filed.

The application is filed through Cuba's official tourist card (Tarjeta del Turista) issuers and the D'Viajeros online form, and the government fee is paid online.

04

Track the application

Processing for Cuba usually takes ~6–10 days. Reply quickly if the authorities ask for more information.

05

Download and travel

Save and print the approval. Carry it with your passport and show it at check-in and at immigration.

Processing time

  • Typical time: ~6–10 days after a complete application is submitted
  • Plan ahead: Apply at least 2–3 weeks before you fly to Cuba, and earlier during peak holiday seasons.

Before you travel

  • Most US-issued bank cards do not work in Cuba. Carry euros or other cash, and check whether Indian cards are accepted.

  • Keep a printed copy of your approval and a digital copy on your phone. Airlines often check it at check-in for flights to Cuba.
  • Cuba requires all visitors to hold medical insurance valid in Cuba. Choose a policy that covers Cuba, as some international insurers exclude it.
