PROCEDURES FOR RESERVING A FLIGHT OR AIRFARE TO CUBA

For those that qualify for airfare or travel to Cuba under either a general license or specific license we suggest that you begin your preparations at least two months in advance of your travel date. You must have a license to travel to Cuba.

Please consult the United States Treasury Department website. If you need a specific license for Cuba, which requires written government approval, you must acquire that license before proceeding with a reservation. You also need a visa from the Cuban government. We can assist you in acquiring your visa ONLY in conjunction with a licensed trip.

FAMILY VISITS TO CUBA!

OFAC has eased restrictions on travel-related transactions for visits to "close relatives" who are nationals of Cuba by issuing a general license.

Travelers may visit "close relatives" in Cuba (including, for example, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins) who are nationals of Cuba.

• There is no limit on the duration of a visit to these "close relatives."
• There is no limit on the frequency of visits to these "close relatives."
• Travelers may be accompanied by persons who share a common dwelling as a family with them.

Authorized expenditure limits for travel within Cuba have been increased to match the expenditures allowed for all other authorized categories of travel to Cuba -- specifically, the current State Department "per diem rate" for Havana (for use anywhere in Cuba) plus amounts for additional transactions directly incident to visiting close relatives in Cuba.  The current "maximum per diem rate" is $179.  For future updates to this rate, travelers may check the Department of State's Office of Allowances web site (http://aoprals.state.gov)
