Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Determine the Method of Application

You can obtain the Tourist Card directly from the Cuban Embassy in Lebanon or often through your airline or travel agency when purchasing a ticket/package.

2

Gather the Necessary Documents

Prepare your valid passport, confirmed flight tickets, and evidence of your accommodation in Cuba.

3

Apply at the Embassy (if necessary)

If not provided by your airline/agency, visit the Cuban Embassy in Beirut. Fill out the application form and present your documents.

4

Pay the Fee and Receive the Card

Pay the required processing fee. The Tourist Card is usually issued on the same day or shortly after.

Required Documents

  • β€”Valid Lebanese Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
  • β€”Completed Tourist Card Application Form
  • β€”Confirmed round-trip flight tickets
  • β€”Proof of accommodation in Cuba (Hotel or Casa Particular reservation)
  • β€”Travel Medical Insurance covering medical expenses in Cuba

Important Tips

  • β€’The Tourist Card is not affixed to your passport; it is a separate piece of paper. Do not lose it, as you need it to enter and exit Cuba.
  • β€’Ensure your travel medical insurance explicitly states that it is valid in Cuba; U.S.-backed insurance companies may not be accepted.
  • β€’If traveling from or transiting through the United States to Cuba, you need a 'Pink' Tourist Card, which has different rules. Otherwise, you need the standard 'Green' card.
  • β€’Bring sufficient cash (Euros or Canadian Dollars) as US credit/debit cards do not work in Cuba, and others may have issues.

Easiest Way to Get It

Purchasing a travel package where the travel agency or airline handles the issuance of the Cuban Tourist Card is the most convenient method.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
