Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish nationals need a tourist card (tarjeta del turista) to travel to Cuba for tourism, not a full consular visa.
A Danish traveler cannot enter Cuba without an entry document, but the formality takes the form of a tourist card rather than a traditional visa. This card is most often obtained through the airline, a travel agency, or the Cuban consulate before departure. It authorizes a short tourist stay.
Do you need a visa?
For tourism you do not need a full consular visa but a Cuban tourist card. Holders of a Danish passport must obtain this card before boarding, as it is required for entry into Cuba.
How and where to apply
The tourist card is generally obtained from your airline, an approved travel agency, or the Cuban consulate responsible for Denmark. Ask early about the channel offered for your flight, as the arrangements vary by point of departure and carrier.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Danish passport valid for at least six months, the tourist card, travel insurance (often required) and proof of accommodation. The card's price is not fixed here: check the fee with the official source, the consulate, or your airline.
Processing and tips
The tourist card is issued fairly quickly, but do not leave it to the last minute if you go through the consulate or by post. Fill it in without corrections, as a damaged or wrongly completed card may have to be repurchased.
Common mistakes
Mind the card type: the form can differ depending on whether you travel on a direct flight or via the United States. Also check the requirement for travel insurance valid in Cuba and the six-month passport validity rule before departure.
