Do I need a visa to travel to Cuba?

A Cuban visa, which is referred to as a "tourist card," is required for all visitors traveling to Cuba. The visa is a two-part card, where Cuban immigration officials will take one half upon arrival in country, and the other half upon departure. Once you are registered on one of our tours, we will be happy to handle all of your flight needs and work with you to book the best option, on your preferred airline, from your home airport to Cuba and back. When booking your flight with insightCuba, we will secure your airfare, Cuban visa, and required Cuban health insurance for entry into Cuba.
