Visa to Cuba?!

Country forums / Cuba / Cuba

Hi everyone, I am from Hong Kong, my friends and I are going to Jamaica and Cuba next month and we just wonder if it is possible to get te Cuba Tourist Card from the Jamaica airport? (i.e. montego bay ). Thanks!!!

Hi FairyCatcher, never gone from Montego Bay to Cuba but don’t worry about the tourist card. If you can’t get one in Jamaica before you leave you can buy one in the airport in Cuba when you land, just that it will slow you down a bit because you have to complete it before entering the immigration booth. Be sure to print everything in block letters and answer # 5 … address in Cuba. If you are staying in a rental casa try to have a few addresses in case you don’t like the first one offered and never pay up front. If they ask just say NO that you will pay when you leave. sometime they take advantages of first time visitors and lock them in so they can't move around. I don’t know if you been to mainland China but Cuba is about 20 years behind.
