Cost of the Cuba visa
Applying for a visa for Cuba is easy. All you need to do is fill in an online form and make the payment. You will receive your visa by email within an average of 3 days. Read on to find out more about the costs involved in applying for a Cuban visa.
Discontinuation of the Tourist Card
Before 2025, you could only travel to Cuba using a paper visa, the so-called Tarjeta de Turista. However, in 2025 the Cuban authorities introduced the new e-visa to streamline the application process. As a result, it is now much easier to obtain a visa. The tourist card used to be sent by post, which in some cases led to significant delays. The e-visa is approved online, so it can be obtained immediately through a computer, tablet or mobile phone.
Breakdown of the visa cost
The price of a visa for Cuba on this website is £44.95. There are two types of fees: the consular fees, charged by the Cuban immigration department for issuing the visa, and the service charges, charged by cuba-visas.co.uk for providing you with a clear form, a friendly 24/7 customer service and an application verification service. The price of the visa remains the same and is not affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate.

Additional services
The standard price for a Cuba visa is £44.95. However, for an extra fee, you can choose from a range of optional services that can facilitate the application process for your trip to Cuba.
If you need your visa urgently, you can submit an urgent application. To do so, you must select the ‘urgent’ button on the application form and pay an additional charge of £17.50 per visa. Urgent applications are usually approved within an average of 5 minutes, whereas standard applications are processed in an average of 3 days. Please note that these are average processing times, not maximum times. The processing times of urgent applications can sometimes be delayed, for example due to a technical issue. However, this is rare.
You also have the possibility to offset the CO₂ emissions of your flight. To do so, please tick the ‘CO₂ Offset’ option on the booking form. The amount you pay will be entirely invested in sustainability projects around the world. The amount to be paid depends on your country of departure.

Check the visa requirements
Before starting with your application, you should check the requirements for the Cuba visa. For example, your passport must be valid for at least six more months on the last day of your stay in Cuba. The visa validity period is 90 days. If you wish to stay on the island for longer, you may extend the validity of your visa once for a further 90 days, up to a maximum stay of 180 days in total.
