Cuban Visa

[Robert11955]

I understand a $75 Visa, along with your Pass Port, is required to get off in Havana. Now, I am on an over night stay in Havana. Is the $75 Visa only good for ONE time off ship? Also, I am reminded that you will get Visa forms to fill out...One to get off and one to get back........AND, don't screw up filling it out, cause it will cost you another $75....

There is lots of info about Cuba in the Ports of Call forum for Caribbean.  EM

Single Visa will cover all your entries.  Most passengers just get them on the ship.  No need to get anything in advance.

Ok, Thanks wheezedr....So, let me try to be clear....I 'think' we can purchase them either at Check-in or on the ship. Normally you would purchase "One" for $75....You would actually get (2) 1 for getting off and 1 for getting back on the ship...So...What happens when I want to get off a second time?....I know this is being anal, but just curious how it all actually works. Going on a B2B on the Sunrise in 01/16/20....

Our $75 visas were good for multiple on and offs in Cuba in January.  

 

My husband accidentally filled out my visa incorrectly - correct info but in the incorrect space.  The Cuban agent looking at it was a woman roughly my age.   I explained what had happened with a mock exasperated look and she just gave me a small, commiserating smile and waved me through.  Sisterhood!

 

I did notice that the Cuban agents examined our passports very closely from multiple angles.

 

Have a great time in Cuba!  It is a fabulous place.

Thanks Cool Cruiser....YES, one of the things I have been told is, although it is a very simple document, but take your time in filling out the Visa...GET IT RIGHT, cause 'they' can be very strict and you find yourself spending another $75...Sounds like you got a reasonable Agent..

We were in Cuba in April.  Just be careful filling out your Visa so that it matches your passport name.  I've actually got a picture of what one looks like on my website.  If you want to look, see the website address below.  It's the Cuba post towards the bottom of the first page.
