Filling Out a Cuba Visa Tourist Card - Tarjeta del Turista

If you have a trip to Cuba coming up, you are likely gathering all the documents you need to enter the country seamlessly. Travelers to Cuba require a visa, also known as a Cuban Tourist Card. If you are flying from the USA, the U.S. air carrier will have these visas available for sale in the boarding area, at a price ranging from $50-$100. It’s also legal to fly through another country like Canada or Mexico. In that case you can also obtain the visas at the airport.  For your convenience, Cuba Unbound is also able to provide these for a fee.

Below is a photo of the “Visa – Tarjeta del Turista.”  Read this carefully because if you make a mistake, you will have to purchase another visa.
