Austria to Cuba visa requirements

Austrian passport holders need a Cuba eVisa for tourism. As of 2025-2026 the eVisa has fully replaced the old paper tourist card and is mandatory before travel. An Austrian (ordinary passport) tourist traveling to Cuba needs a Cuba eVisa, applied for online before departure via the official portal evisacuba.cu. This electronic authorization replaced the traditional paper tourist card (tarjeta del turista): physical cards stopped being issued in 2024 and the eVisa became the sole required document during 2025, so it has been mandatory throughout 2026. The eVisa is single-entry, costs about EUR 22 in government fees (third-party agencies charge more), and permits a stay of up to 90 days, extendable once in-country for a further 90 days (180 days maximum). It is valid for travel within 12 months of issuance. Two additional requirements are essential: every traveler must complete the separate D'Viajeros online entry declaration (which must include the eVisa code) within 7 days of arrival, and must hold travel medical insurance that specifically covers Cuba — immigration officers can request proof at the airport. Apply at least one week before departure; processing is typically up to 72 hours after payment is confirmed.

/06 — The risks

Common refusal reasons

by frequency
/01
eVisa replaced the paper tourist card
Cuba phased out the physical tourist card during 2024-2025; the eVisa is now the sole required entry document, mandatory throughout 2026.
High
/02
D'Viajeros declaration not completed
Travelers forget the separate mandatory D'Viajeros form or fail to enter their eVisa code, so it does not link to the visa and is rejected at the border.
High
/03
No Cuba-specific medical insurance
Cuba legally requires insurance covering treatment in Cuba; generic 'worldwide' policies may not be accepted and proof can be demanded on arrival.
Medium
/04
Applying too late
Processing takes up to 72 hours and D'Viajeros must be done within 7 days of arrival; last-minute applicants risk missing their flight.

/05
Passport validity too short
