⚠️Common Reasons Cuba eVisa — replaced the Tourist Card in 2025; ~USD 50; single entry; 90 days extendable once Applications Are Refused6
- !A passport valid for less than six months beyond arrival, or photo / bio-page scans that fail the eVisa portal’s quality checks.
- !No proof of the mandatory travel insurance with medical cover valid in Cuba — insurance is checked at the airport and entry is refused without it.
- !The D’Viajeros traveller form not completed within the 7-day pre-arrival window, or details that do not match the eVisa.
- !No return / onward ticket or no proof of accommodation (hotel or casa particular) when requested at immigration.
- !For US travellers: treating the Cuban eVisa as if it overrides US OFAC rules — it is a Cuban authorisation only and does not by itself make OFAC-prohibited tourism lawful.
- !A prior overstay or immigration breach, or an entry the authorities judge to be for unauthorised work or journalism without the correct visa class.
Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
