Do you need a visa to go to Cuba from the UK?

Yes, you do. A Cuban Tourist Card or commonly known as a Cuban Visa or Cuba Holiday Visa; is a simple but essential document that you need to have before boarding your flight to Cuba. The airlines will not allow you to fly without a Cuban Tourist Card, so you will need to obtain one before you go. A Cuba Tourist Card or Visa is a separate document other than your passport (Not a stamp in your passport for most countries) reason why we can issue it and post it to you promptly by post.

Adults, children and infants require one. A Cuban Tourist Card will allow you one entry / one exit, and a maximum of 30 days to stay in Cuba from your arrival date. A Cuban Tourist Card can be extended locally for another 30 days while in Cuba, this being the maximum any tourist is allowed remain in the country (60 days).

For other types of Visas for Cuba, please contact your nearest Cuban Consulate. There is no such thing as Tourist Cards on arrival. However, if you travel with a tourist card that has a mistake, the airline might allow you to go and ask you to buy another one upon arrival.
