Travellers using a full British passport will need to apply for a visa to travel to Cuba.
As there are several types of visa categories out there for different travellers, it’s important to make sure you get the correct visa to cover your trip.
If you’re travelling to Cuba as a tourist, then you’ll need to get a tourist card before you can travel. A tourist card is valid for 30 days but can be extended in Cuba for a further 30 days if needed.
Otherwise, you can find the different types of visas and entry requirements for Cuba here.
If you fall ill or injure yourself while on holiday in Cuba, it’s important to know what healthcare services they have available and what they can offer.
Cuba doesn’t have any private hospitals or clinics; they operate a national healthcare system run by the government. They actually have the highest doctor-to-patient ratio in the world, and their doctors are often sent abroad to countries with a great need of medical professionals.
It’s strongly advised that everyone travelling to Cuba has the correct travel insurance, including cover for any pre-existing medical conditions. It’s also very important to visit your GP at least four to six weeks before your trip to check whether there are any vaccinations that you may need.
