What you need

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Cuba.
  • Specific forms: No specific visa application form is required if obtaining the Tourist Card through approved channels. However, you will need to complete an Immigration and Customs form (D'Viajeros) online before travel, at least 48 hours in advance. Access it at https://www.dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu/
  • Financial proof: While not explicitly stated for tourist stays, it is advisable to carry proof of sufficient funds to cover your expenses in Cuba (e.g., bank statements, credit card statements). The exact amount is not specified, but a reasonable daily budget is recommended.
  • Accommodation and return ticket requirements: Proof of accommodation (hotel booking, invitation letter if staying with relatives/friends) and a return or onward ticket are generally required and will be checked upon arrival.
  • Photo spec: Not applicable for the Tourist Card, which is a stamp or sticker.
  • Biometrics: Not required for the Tourist Card.
  • Travel health insurance: Mandatory. You must have valid travel medical insurance that covers your stay in Cuba. This can be purchased from Cuban insurance companies at the point of entry if you do not have it.

  • Total cost estimate: 25-50 USD for the Tourist Card itself.
  • Standard processing time: The Tourist Card is usually obtained instantly or within a few hours when purchased through an airline or travel agency prior to departure.
  • Express/priority option: Not applicable.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: It is recommended to purchase the Tourist Card at least a few days before your flight, or directly from your airline during the booking process. The D'Viajeros form should be completed online at least 48 hours before arrival.
  • Common rejection reasons for Angola applicants specifically: While specific statistics for Angola are not readily available, common reasons for denial of entry or issues with travel documents include insufficient funds, lack of proof of onward travel or accommodation, invalid passport, or missing mandatory travel insurance. Ensure all documentation is in order and that you meet the health insurance requirements.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Angola citizens generally do not apply for a Tourist Card through VFS/BLS or directly at a Cuban embassy for standard tourist travel. The Tourist Card is typically obtained through airlines, authorized travel agencies, or sometimes at the airport upon arrival (though this is less common and can involve queues).
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and the Cuban immigration authorities before your trip. As of recent information, there are no specific bilateral notes that significantly alter the standard tourist entry process for Angola citizens beyond the general requirements.
  • Extension options inside Cuba: Yes, the Tourist Card can be extended for an additional 30 days by visiting the immigration authorities (Oficina de Trámites de Extranjería) in Cuba. A fee is associated with this extension.
