Mobile Phone and Internet Access – Only 41 out of 100 inhabitants have a mobile phone subscription (2017 estimate) and internet is limited and expensive.
Not to worry, our agents are on-the-ground and present at both Cuban International airports with comms ready-to-go to ensure smooth operations for you and your client.
Moving Money – As Cuban Operations require 100% upfront payment, we’ve got you covered under our credit plan.
VISA REQUIREMENTS
There are only a small handful of nationalities that do not require any kind of visa to enter Cuba. The majority require either a tourist visa (“Tourist Card” valid for a 30-day stay) or a business visa. Visa processing may take up to four weeks so make sure to arrange your flight with ample time. You do not have four weeks? Good news, visas can be purchased upon arrival, but they will be more expensive, around USD 125. Also, some airlines sell visas before embarking for Cuba for approximately USD 25. Passengers will also need to either have valid medical insurance or purchase it upon arrival.
