Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian travellers must obtain a tourist card (tarjeta del turista) before leaving for Cuba. This is not a standard consular visa but an essential prior formality for a tourist stay.
To visit Cuba, Indonesian citizens do not use a government online portal: the tourist card is obtained through the airline, a travel agency, or a Cuban consulate before departure. This document serves as the entry authorization for tourism. The exact terms should be confirmed with the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, in the form of a tourist card. Indonesian citizens travelling to Cuba for tourism must hold this card, obtained before boarding. It replaces the standard tourist visa but remains a mandatory formality: you cannot board without it.
How and where to apply
The tourist card is requested from the airline carrying you, an authorized travel agency, or directly from the Cuban consulate responsible for Indonesia. The Cuban consular network is listed on misiones.cubaminrex.cu. Choose the channel that best suits your itinerary and confirm it issues the card for Indonesian nationals.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a return ticket and proof of accommodation. The tourist-card fee is set by the issuing channel and the Cuban authorities: refer to the official source for the current amount. Also confirm with it any additional requirements, such as travel insurance or health rules.
Processing and tips
Timing depends on the channel: an agency or airline may issue the card quickly, while a consulate needs more lead time. Complete the process well before departure to avoid being blocked at the airport. Fill in the card carefully, without crossings-out, as an error can void it.
Common mistakes
The main pitfalls: assuming a Cuban visa is requested online like an e-Visa, reaching the airport without the card, or crossing out and correcting the document once filled in. Check that your chosen channel covers Indonesian nationality and confirm entry requirements (insurance, vaccinations) with the official source before you travel.
