Citizens of most European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand require a visa (known as a tourist card) to visit Cuba. To apply, you must have a valid passport for the duration of your stay, proof of a return flight, and confirmation of an accommodation booking in Cuba. It will enable you to stay in Cuba for up to 30 days.  Citizens of the United States also need to declare the reason for their trip according to the 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba. “Support for the Cuban people” is the most popular choice, with other categories including “Family visits”, “Journalism”, and “Professional research”. You may be asked to declare your chosen category when booking a flight or accommodation, as well as on return to the United States.
