A Step by Step Guide to Filling out the D'Viajeros Travelers Form:
Step 1: Online Form Site
Go to this site to begin your form 7 days or less from your date of departure.
Step 2: Change Language
In the upper right hand corner click on the small icon to select your language of choice. The form will automatically be in spanish if you do not change the language.
Step 3: Request Form
Once your form is in the language of your choice, begin by clicking "form request." A form will pop up on your page for you to start filling in your information.
Step 4: Personal Data
Enter your personal data. The country name they use for the United States is "USA" so you can just type USA and choose that option when it asks about "Country Where the Person Was Born?" etc. Notice the required fields indicated in red before clicking "next."
Step 5: Migratiory and Flight Information, and E-Visa
Here you will fill out your flight information and list which airport in Cuba you will be arriving at. Double check the airport code you'll be flying into on your air ticket. The Havana airport is A.I. Jose Marti (La Habana/HAV).
Purpose of visit: In this case you choose "Tourism." Even though that is not the reason as far as the US government is concerned, it is the reason as far as Cuba is concerned.
Just after "Purpose of Visit" is a box for an E-Visa number. If you have an E-Visa, enter the number here. If you plan to use a paper visa - tourist card, leave this blank.
Step 6: Place of Accommodation and Sanitary Information
The first question is "Place of Accommodation."
If you choose "Hotel" then the next box asks the name of the hotel. If your itinerary shows that you are staying in a hotel on your first night in Cuba, you can choose "hotel" from the drop down menu and select the name of the hotel such as "Grand Aston La Habana." When you choose "Hotel" the boxes about "Municipality" and "Province" disappear.
House or Room for Rent: If your itinerary indicates that you are staying in a Casa Particular on the first night upon your arrival, chose the option "house or room for rent." If you have not received the exact address of your first night's accommodations, please reach out to one of our Adventure Consultants or, if you arranged this on your own, contact the host of your accommodation. If you have the address, list the street address. Then it asks for the Province, so you would choose "La Habana" if going to Havana, or "Holguin" if going to Holguin, etc. Then enter the "Municipality" meaning the city or neighborhood. In Havana, choose the correct neighborhood, but if you don't know, just enter "Plaza de la Revolucion". If going to the province of Holguin, choose the city of Holguin.
The next section on this page asks:
- Countries Visited in last 15 days - for most people you would simply choose "USA"
- Symptoms in the last 15 days - if you don't have any, just skip this. There is no choice for "none."
- Questionnaire - skip this also
The next section on this page is about COVID-19.
You will see a part about vaccination status on the left side of the screen, and PCR Test on the right side. Each has a check box. You can just skip these questions. Then go to "NEXT" at the bottom of the form.
So some text has been deleted from this part about covid vaccines, etc.
Step 7: Customs Information
Select "No" for the question about "Unaccompanied Luggage."
Indicate the number of children under 10 traveling with you.
Leave the question about currency blank unless you are bringing more than $5000 in cash.
You do not need to declare what you are bringing into Cuba unless you are bringing any personal items that have a total value of $1,000 or more. Thus, just skip down the page to the box asking:
Do you have something to declare at customs? (*) and choose "No" unless you do have something to declare. Again, it would be rare for any of our travelers to have anything to declare.
Then hit the "NEXT" button.
Step 8: Declaration
This is your sworn declaration.
Step 9: Save and Print the PDF
You have completed the Cuba D'Viajeros travel form! Upon submitting your form you will see a PDF with a QR code and proof of completion. We highly recommend you print and save this document to show at customs when you arrive in Cuba.
