Discover visa requirements for your trip
Czech travellers need a tourist card (not a full consular visa) to travel to Cuba.
For a tourist stay in Cuba, Czech nationals must obtain a tourist card before departure. It is usually provided by the airline, a travel agency or the Cuban consulate. The passport must be valid for the whole duration of the stay.
Do you need a visa?
No standard consular visa, but a tourist card (tarjeta del turista) is mandatory for a Czech citizen. This document, distinct from a full visa, authorises the tourist stay and must be obtained before arriving in Cuba.
How and where to apply
The tourist card is obtained from the airline, an authorised travel agency or the Cuban consulate (see misiones.cubaminrex.cu). There is no single centralised online application: the channel depends on your point of departure and your carrier.
Documents and fees
Have ready a valid passport, a return ticket and proof of travel insurance with medical cover, which is often checked on arrival. The tourist-card fee is not confirmed here: ask the consulate or your airline for the exact amount.
Processing and tips
Obtain the card well before the flight, especially if it goes through the consulate, whose timing varies. Fill it in without crossings-out, as a damaged or incorrectly completed card may be refused. Check whether your airline sells it directly at the airport or on board, which simplifies the process.
Common mistakes
Frequent errors: travelling without valid medical insurance, crossing out entries on the tourist card, or leaving it to the last minute when the consulate requires lead time. Also make sure it is the correct card for your flight type and entry point.
