However, there are categories such as &#8220;Support for the Cuban People&#8221;, which due to its ambiguity justifies almost any type of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-documents-required-for-traveling-to-cuba-from-the-united-states\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents-required-for-traveling-to-Cuba-from-the-United-States\"><\/span>Documents required for traveling to Cuba from the United States<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-u-s-passport\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-US-Passport\"><\/span>1.

For this you will need to <strong>submit a detailed daily itinerary <\/strong>to the customs authorities if requested. You should list everything you plan to do, including the cities you will visit, where you will stay, what cultural activities you will participate in, how much time you will have for leisure, etc. The good news is that they don&#8217;t usually look at it too closely, even so, it&#8217;s a good idea to always have it handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the categories of travel to Cuba from the United States proposed by OFAC.

The family relationship may be by blood, marriage or adoption, and may not be more than three generations apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Government Activity<\/strong>: U.S. citizens may travel under this category for diplomatic purposes. Involves diplomatic negotiations, bilateral meetings and international conferences. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Journalistic Activity<\/strong>: travel for reporting and news coverage in Cuba. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professional Research<\/strong>: trips for scientific research or conferences that promote the exchange of knowledge and advances in areas such as science, medicine and technology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Educational Activities<\/strong>: allows travel to participate in accredited academic programs at Cuban institutions or educational activities organized by U.S. institutions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Religious Activities<\/strong>: spiritual trips, attendance to ceremonies and service activities in Cuban religious communities. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cultural and Sporting Activities<\/strong>: this category allows participation in cultural events such as musicals, exhibitions, performances and sporting events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support for the Cuban People<\/strong>: this is the most lax category. And although in theory it only allows travel to provide humanitarian aid, direct assistance and provide resources to communities in need. It is easily justifiable and allows movement around the country and spending in local businesses. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humanitarian Projects<\/strong>: travel for medical projects, construction, environment, education, among others. Unlike the previous one, this category can only be used at specific times in critical situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private Foundation or Research Activities for Education Institutes<\/strong>: allows the collaboration between educational institutions and non-profit organizations, fostering research and educational growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exchange of Information or Informational Material<\/strong>: justifies the trips whose purpose is to participate in events or conferences to share publications for mutual enrichment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Authorized Export Activities<\/strong>: travel related to authorized commercial exchange of goods and services between the two countries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

Visa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both U.S. and non-U.S. travelers <strong>will need a visa to enter Cuba<\/strong>. This document <strong>allows you to stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days<\/strong> and is valid for 6 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some US airlines provide this document with the purchase of the ticket. This process requires an extra cost ranging from 50USD to 100 USD, and can be done online or at the gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common way to get the visa, is through the <strong>official government website or at the consulate or embassy of the country. <\/strong>On the internet the visa can <strong>be obtained in less than a week<\/strong>, and through the consulate or embassy the process can take several weeks. Our recommendation is that <strong>you do not apply for the visa more than 3 months <\/strong>in advance as it has a maximum validity of 6 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling from the United States it is worthwhile to get the visa with the ticket as the price is lower. If you process the visa through the website or embassy the price can go up to <strong>150 USD for a 90-day trip. <\/strong>From other countries the visa is not so expensive. For example, from Spain it costs \u20ac31 if processed three days in advance and \u20ac55 if processed one day before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-two-types-of-visas-depending-on-your-country-of-origin-are\">The two types of visas depending on your country of origin are:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Green Visa: <\/strong>This visa allows entry to Cuba to everyone through <strong>international airports not in the United States. <\/strong>It is the standard visa that allows you to stay in Cuba for up to 90 days, and you can extend your stay for additional 30 days. In the case of Canada, it is allowed to extend the stay 90 days more. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pink Visa:<\/strong> this visa allows U.S. citizens to enter Cuba from U.S. airports for a period of 90 days, with the possibility of extending it 30 days more. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If before arriving in Cuba you are going to make a stopover in the United States remember that, regardless of your country of origin, you will need the ESTA and the Pink Visa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the visa you will need to present a <strong>copy of your passport<\/strong> with a minimum validity of 6 months from the beginning of your trip and <strong>travel insurance<\/strong> in addition to paying the corresponding fees.
