Our guide to the Cuba visa from Greece
Yes, Greek travellers need a tourist card (tarjeta del turista) to visit Cuba. It is not a full consular visa but a tourist document to obtain before departure.
Greek nationals heading to Havana, Varadero or Trinidad must travel with a Cuban tourist card. It is most often obtained from the airline, a travel agency, or the consular section of the Cuban embassy. Confirm the exact fee and validity directly with the official source before you pay.
Do you need a visa for Cuba?
Yes, in the form of a tourist card (tarjeta del turista) rather than a traditional consular visa. This document allows a short tourist stay. A valid Greek passport and proof of sufficient funds are still required. Non-tourist travel (study, work, journalism) falls under a separate visa from the Cuban consulate.

How and where to apply
The tourist card is usually obtained before departure, in Greece, through the airline when buying the ticket, an accredited travel agency, or the consular section of the Cuban embassy.

Where do you apply for a visa for Cuba from Greece?

- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in Greece on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Cuba take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing time and practical tips
Because the card is often issued by the airline or agency, arrange it well before the flight to avoid a last-minute purchase at the airport. Fill it in cleanly without corrections: a card with crossings-out may be refused and have to be repurchased. Carefully keep the portion to be handed back when leaving the country.
Before you fly, and at the border

Common mistakes
The most common mistake is assuming Cuba requires no paperwork for Greeks: the tourist card remains mandatory. Also mind the medical insurance, checked on arrival, and itineraries transiting the United States, which can complicate later eligibility for the US ESTA programme. Always confirm current rules with the official source.
