Do you need a visa to travel to Cuba from Spain?

When asked if a visa is needed to travel to Cuba, the answer is yes. As a Spanish citizen, if you are going to do tourism, what you need is the so-called Tourist Card, a green paper document that you must complete when you receive it and deliver it upon arrival in Cuba. This authorizes them to be in Cuba for 30 days, extendable for another 30 more while already in the country.

How do you get a visa to travel to Cuba?

Obtaining the tourist card is very easy. You have the following alternatives:

Carry out the procedure at a Cuban consulate in Spain. To do this, you will have to make an appointment and provide all the stipulated documents, as well as the €22 fee. Payment cannot be made in cash, only by bank transfer or card. The current consulates are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Las Palmas and Santiago de Compostela.
By mail through the consulate. In that case, the shipping costs will have to be paid. Payment cannot be made in cash either.
Through an agency. It can be a physical travel agency or an online visa issuing agency. These usually charge a management cost, which depends on whether it is done regularly or urgently

Keep in mind that you will have to hand in the other part of the tourist card when you leave Cuba. Therefore, it is important that you keep it with your passport. If you lose it, you will have to go to an immigration office in Cuba and pay a fee.

In the event that you have other reasons for your trip (business, studies…) or you plan to stay longer, you should consult the consulate about the special requirements to travel to Cuba.
