The visa covers a maximum stay of 90 days with the possibility of extending the stay for an additional 30 days (up to 90 days for Canadians).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pink Visa:<\/strong>\u00a0This visa allows entry to Cuba from US airports regardless of the traveller&#8217;s nationality. The visa covers a maximum stay of 90 days with the possibility of extending the stay for an additional 30 days (up to 90 days for Canadians). Please note that if you make a stopover in the United States, even if it is only for a few hours, you will need to apply for the Pink Visa in addition to the ESTA. And remember that, to travel from the United States, you will also need an authorisation from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. In this post you can find out about the procedures and documentation you will need if you are travelling from the USA:<a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/travel-to-cuba-from-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0What do I need to travel to Cuba from the United States?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are several methods for obtaining a visa to travel to Cuba,<\/strong> which include purchasing a visa at the time you buy a plane ticket through US airlines, in person at embassies or consulates, through a travel agency, upon arrival in Cuba, or online. Each of these processes has a minimum lead time required and costs vary depending on the method chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you an idea of prices, <strong>the online visa for Europeans costs \u20ac35<\/strong>, while <strong>the US visa costs around $103<\/strong>. In this post you can read more in detail about visas to Cuba:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/visas-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travel visas to Cuba: How to obtain a visa to travel to Cuba?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We remind you that from the moment the visa is granted, it is valid for 6 months, so you can&#8217;t apply for it too far in advance if you want it to cover your entire holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

Choose the date to plan your trip to Holgu\u00edn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best time to visit Holgu\u00edn is between December and April<\/strong>, when the weather is drier and cooler, ideal for exploring without the oppressive heat or frequent summer rains. During these months you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy the crystal-clear beaches and natural scenery in greater comfort. However, <strong>this is also the high season<\/strong>, so you&#8217;re likely to find more tourists and higher prices for accommodation and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of the highlights of Holgu\u00edn is the Romer\u00eda de Mayo<\/strong>, a festival that combines religious traditions with local culture and is held every May. This event offers the opportunity to experience regional music, art and cuisine in a festive atmosphere. Although travelling during this time may involve a bit more heat and definitely more people, it&#8217;s worth it for the enriching cultural experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"31795\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/plan-trip-to-holguin\/attachment\/where-to-stay-in-holguin\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Where-to-stay-in-Holguin\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Where to stay in Holguin\" class=\"wp-image-31795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Where-to-stay-in-Holguin.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-find-out-how-to-get-to-holguin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Find-out-how-to-get-to-Holguin\"><\/span>3.
