All visitors must have a valid passport or a travel document issued in their name and the corresponding visa or Tourist Card. The countries with which Cuba has free visa agreements are excepted. Tourist Cards can be requested from Cuban consular representations. Also, in travel agencies and airlines. They are of two types: for individual tourists or for tourists traveling in groups.
Business trips, journalism, long stays or work, require special visas, so you should go to the Cuban Consulates or Embassies.
Medicines, up to 10 kg in weight, are exempt from paying customs duties, as long as they come separately from the rest of the luggage. When they are mixed with other articles that are part of it, they are valued as a whole and are subject to the payment of customs duties and services. For this reason, Customs recommends that you bring the medicines separate from the rest of your luggage and in this way facilitate and expedite the dispatch of the items that you import, thus reducing the time of your stay in the air terminal and contributing to a greater fluidity in our airports.
