RESERVING A FLIGHTS HOTELS OR TOURS TO CUBA

For those that qualify for flights, hotels, tours or general 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.

Travel to Cuba for Families!

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.
