If you are traveling to Cuba from Australia, you'll need to apply for an eVisa to Cuba (formerly known as the Cuba Tourist Card) before traveling to Cuba.

While our team at iVisa is currently unable to process your Cuba eVisa we can still guide you through the process.

What Australians need to apply for a Cuba eVisa

  • A valid Australian passport, with at least 6 months' validity beyond your arrival in Cuba.
  • Completed e‑Visa application online via the official Cuban portal, including:
    • Personal and passport details
    • Photo (passport-style)
    • Travel dates and return ticket
    • Accommodation information
  • Digital declaration (D’Viajeros) form, submitted within 7 days before arrival, which generates a QR code for immigration.
  • Travel insurance with Cuba coverage is mandatory
  • Proof of funds, a Minimum of $50 USD per day spent in Cuba

Application process and documentation

The application process through iVisa involves these straightforward steps:

  1. Gather documents: passport scan, photo, travel insurance, flight, and hotel info.
  2. Complete the online application form with your details.
  3. Submit D’Viajeros form within 7 days before departure to receive QR code.
  4. Print your e‑Visa and QR code—carry both with you.
  5. When at Cuban immigration, present your passport, your printed eVisa, and your QR code.

Pro Tip: "I found the process much smoother when I had all my documents prepared before starting the application. Having digital copies of everything ready saved considerable time" - Recent Australian traveler

Processing times and additional info

  • Cuba's eVisa for Australians is generally processed within 3 working days.
  • It allows stays of up to 90 days per visit, which you may extend once, for a total of 180 days.
  • This document only allows you to enjoy tourism and leisure activities.

While obtaining a Cuba Tourist Card has become more straightforward, some Australian travelers still face challenges. We at iVisa help address these common concerns:

  • Currency restrictions and banking limitations

  • Travel insurance requirements

  • Document preparation and verification

  • US transit considerations

Pro Tip: "Having your travel insurance documentation ready before starting your visa application can save significant time. Make sure it explicitly states coverage for Cuba"

Frequently asked questions

Can I extend my stay in Cuba beyond 30 days?

Yes, you can extend your stay for an additional 30 days by visiting the immigration office in Cuba. We recommend initiating this process at least a week before your initial visa expires.

Do I need special permission if traveling via the US?

Yes, if transiting through the US, you'll need a pink Tourist Card instead of the standard green one. We can help ensure you receive the correct version based on your travel route.

What type of travel insurance is required?

Cuba requires insurance that specifically covers medical expenses in Cuba. Many Australian insurance policies aren't recognized, so we recommend purchasing coverage from Cuban insurance providers or approved international carriers.

Is there a risk of visa rejection?

The Cuba Tourist Card has a very high approval rate for Australian citizens. However, we review all applications thoroughly before submission to minimize any potential issues.

How far in advance should I apply?

We recommend applying at least 3 weeks before your planned travel date, though our Super Rush service can process applications in as little as 24 hours if needed.
