Our guide to the Cuba visa from Romania
Yes, Romanian citizens need an e-Visa to travel to Cuba. It is obtained online before departure, on the official portal of the Cuban authorities, and allows a stay of up to 90 days in the country.
Holding the passport of a European Union member state does not remove the formalities for Cuba: from Romania, the e-Visa must be obtained before boarding. The procedure is handled remotely; the processing time and fees are not given here and should be checked on the official Cuban portal.
Do you need a visa for Cuba?
Yes. A Romanian passport does not allow entry to Cuba without prior formalities: an e-Visa, applied for online and granted before the trip, is required. It covers a stay of up to 90 days. That length of stay says nothing about the validity period of the e-Visa or the processing time; both are set by the Cuban authorities and published on their portal.
How much does an e-visa for Cuba cost from Romania?
The official fee for an e-visa for Cuba is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.

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

You live in Romania on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Romania 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 times and tips
The processing time is not given here, so it is best to apply early and wait for approval before paying for non-refundable bookings. Check that your passport remains valid for the whole stay, according to the minimum set by the Cuban authorities. Once in Cuba, take the 90-day limit on your stay into account when planning your return.

Common mistakes
Assuming that a European Union passport is enough to enter Cuba is a common mistake that can end with boarding being refused. Another trap: unofficial websites that mimic the look of a government portal and charge a hefty surcharge. Finally, a mismatch between the form and the passport, or confusing the 90 days of stay with the validity of the e-Visa, can complicate the trip.

Tips to extend your stay in Cuba
- Extend directly at immigration before expiry (90 days max per extension).
- Avoid visa run: risky and expensive from Cuba.
- For frequent travelers: switch to temporary residence after 180 days.
- Mistake to avoid: overstaying without extension (fine/detention).
Example: Arrive with e-Visa 90d, extend in Havana for 90d+ (22 EUR), total 180d. Then apply for residence if needed via consulate.
