Entry Requirements

Travel to Cuba for tourist activities remains prohibited by statute. However, the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued general licenses for 12 categories of travel. Individuals who meet the regulatory conditions of the general license they seek to travel under do not need to apply for an additional license from OFAC to travel to Cuba. The 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba are: family visits; official business of the U.S. government, foreign governments, and certain intergovernmental organizations; journalistic activity; professional research and professional meetings; educational activities; religious activities; public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, and exhibitions; support for the Cuban people; humanitarian projects; activities of private foundations or research or educational institutes; exportation, importation, or transmission of information or informational materials; and certain authorized export transactions.

For details on Cuba sanctions regulations, including fact sheets on recent changes and information about applying for an OFAC license, please visit this Department of Treasury webpage on Cuba sanctions. The Department of State also provides information on Cuba sanctions and travel restrictions on its webpage on Cuba sanctions .

In accordance with the National Security Presidential Memorandum on Strengthening the Policy of the United States Toward Cuba of June 2017, the State Department also publishes a list of entities and subentities that are under the control of, or act for or on behalf of, the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services or personnel and with which direct financial transactions would disproportionately benefit the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services or personnel at the expense of the Cuban people or private enterprise in Cuba – the State Department’s List of Restricted Entities and Subentities Associated with Cuba (“Cuba Restricted List”) . Persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction will now be prohibited from engaging in certain direct financial transactions with entities and subentities identified by the State Department on the Cuba Restricted List. Certain transactions will be excluded from this prohibition pursuant to exceptions detailed in the NSPM .

Please note that neither the U.S. Embassy in Havana nor the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. process Cuban visa applications. To apply for a Cuban visa or for any questions regarding Cuban consular services, please contact the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C.:

Embassy of the Republic of Cuba 2630 16th Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20009 Website:  http://misiones.minrex.gob.cu/en/usa Phone: (202) 797 8518 – Ext. 600

Dual Citizens

All U.S.-Cuban dual citizens should note that the Government of Cuba treats U.S. citizens born in Cuba as Cuban citizens and may subject them to a range of restrictions and obligations. The Cuban government requires U.S.-Cuban dual citizens to enter and depart Cuba using a Cuban passport. Using a Cuban passport for this purpose does not jeopardize one’s U.S. citizenship. Cuban authorities do not always notify the U.S. Embassy of the arrest of dual nationals and may deny U.S. consular officers access to them.

FAQs - booking Cuba flights

How early should i arrive at miami international airport.

For international flights, we recommend you arrive at least 3 hours before your scheduled flight to allow you enough time to park your car and make it through security checks in good time. This will also give you time to grab a bite and do some gift shopping around the airport. Alternatively, you can sign up for the Global Entry and TSA pre-check program to avoid the long lines.

Can I find parking at Miami International airport?

The Dolphin Garage is located at the north terminal, and the Flamingo Garage can be found at concourses E to J. Both garages offer great deals on parking services depending on whether you are parking for the long-term or short-term. There is a ‘tall vehicle’ surface parking area next to Dolphin Garage where high-rise vehicles can be parked. Vehicles with a disabled parking permit will be provided two hours of complimentary parking.

Where can I find a rental car at Jose Marti International airport?

If you want to rent a car while in Cuba, you will find a few car rental information desks in terminals 2 and 3, where you can get assistance during pick up. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you pre-book your rental car online, where you can look at and compare each company’s rates. Some rental car companies at the airport are Cuba car and REX, with desks in Terminals 2 and 3, and Havanautos and Via Transgaviota, with desks in terminal 3. Rental cars are quite expensive in Cuba, so you may also consider taking a taxi or the bus, which are cheaper alternatives.

Where can I sleep at Jose Marti International airport?

However, if the idea of sleeping on the floor does not seem inviting, there are nearby hotels you can sleep at. One such hotel is Hostal Aero Puerto, which is located about ten minutes from the airport and is the best option for late arrivals and early departures. You can enjoy showers, and mobile charging spots and take late night meal at the hotel before you check-out the next day.
