Cubans have been waiting for a long time to find out which countries it is possible to enter without a visa. Even in 2024, the interest in free mobility continues and we offer them some of the Caribbean countries to which they can enter from the island without having to go through procedures at the embassies.
For this purpose, the well-known web portal Passport Index has announced where entry with the Cuban passport is possible without a visa. With these countries in the area, the trip becomes more economical.
The CARICOM (Caribbean Community) region consists of 15 countries, nine of which do not require a visa for citizens with a Cuban passport, while others require an electronic visa.
In some territories it is made clear how long Cubans can stay in their territory without having to undergo cumbersome procedures at their respective embassies or consultations, while in Saint Kitts and Nevis, for example, this temporality is not specified.
The Caribbean countries where Cuban citizens can travel without a visa are Antigua and Barbuda (30 days), Barbados (28 days), Dominica (28 days), Grenada (60 days), Guyana (90 days), St. Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia (42 days), St. Vincent and the Grenadines (90 days) and Trinidad and Tobago (90 days)
In the case of the Electric Visa or eVisa, it is only required for the Bahamas and Suriname. This travel authorization is a type of visa that, unlike traditional visas, can be applied for entirely online.
To do this, applicants must fill out an online application form, where the required documents such as passports and photos are uploaded to a platform in digital form as part of the application process.
Visa fees are also paid electronically, generally through secure payment methods such as credit or debit cards.
Once the application is submitted, it will be processed electronically and if approved, the e-Visa will be sent to the applicant via email. In most cases, travelers are required to print out the e-Visa and carry it with them during the trip, as this may be required by immigration authorities in the destination country.
It should be noted that e-Visas are usually specific to certain types of travel, such as: B. Tourism, business travel or transit travel, and that some may have restrictions on the length of stay and the number of entries permitted into the territory.
Contrary to previous data, other Caribbean countries still require Cubans to apply for a traditional visa at their diplomatic headquarters. This affects Belize, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica.
