However, they will have to fill in a digital form on the official D'Viajeros website (<a href=\"https:\/\/dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu<\/a>) at least 7 days before travel. On arrival, they must present a QR code obtained after completing this free form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Procedure for other nationalities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For travelers from other countries (outside Canada), the procedure is more comprehensive: you must first apply for <strong>e-visa on the eVisaCuba portal<\/strong>then also fill in the <strong>D'Viajeros form before departure<\/strong>. The generated QR code will be required on arrival in Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-Visa and <strong>D'Viajeros<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To arrive in Cuba and enter the country, travellers must complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visamundi.co\/en\/blog\/cuba-dviajeros-7-days-before-arrival\/\">digital form <strong>D'Viajeros<\/strong><\/a>. Applications can be made up to 7 days before arrival. In addition to this formality, for most nationalities, an e-visa is required to travel to Cuba. As of July 01, 2025, all nationalities except Canadians will be subject to this travel formality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficult tourist environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This measure comes against the backdrop of a deep crisis in Cuba's tourism sector. According to official figures, the country recorded a 30 % drop in the number of international visitors in the first quarter of 2025. This drop is reflected in the atmosphere of the streets, once bustling, now deserted, as evidenced by a viral video of Obispo, Havana's emblematic street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign tourists have reported difficulties in finding food, poor service and high prices, despite the warm welcome they receive from the local population. These experiences, relayed on social networks, could influence the image of Cuba as an international destination.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cuban Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR) has announced that from July 1, 2025, entry to Cuba will only be possible with an electronic visa, known as an e-visa.
