Saudi Arabia to Cuba visa requirements

Yes — a Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holder needs a Cuba eVisa for tourism. Since 1 July 2025, Cuba replaced the old paper tourist card with a single-entry electronic visa (eVisa) required for almost all nationalities, including Saudi nationals. You apply online before travel, and you must also complete the free D'Viajeros health/customs declaration within 7 days before arrival. Cuba overhauled its entry system on 1 July 2025, retiring the green/pink paper "tourist card" (tarjeta del turista) and introducing a universal single-entry electronic visa (eVisa) administered through the official portal evisacuba.cu. A Saudi Arabia (ordinary) passport holder is not on Cuba's short visa-free list (which covers a small group such as China, Russia, Belarus, Mongolia, Malaysia and a few Caribbean states) and is not on the consular-only list, so the standard eVisa channel applies. The eVisa permits a single entry and a stay of up to 90 days, extendable once in-country for a further 90 days (180 days total) for a fee. It is valid for entry within 12 months of issue. Processing is typically up to 72 business hours after payment is confirmed. Fees vary by the processing consulate/country (roughly USD 50 / EUR 22 government cost in many markets), and because the government portal does not yet accept online card payment in all locations, payment may be handled via the relevant Cuban consulate; many travelers booking through airlines or agencies pay a bundled fee. Separately and independently of the visa, every traveler must complete the mandatory online D'Viajeros declaration within 7 days before arrival; this is free and generates a QR code shown on entry. Travelers transiting or having visited the United States should also be aware of unrelated U.S. ESTA restrictions, but that does not affect the Cuban entry requirement itself. Verdict: eVisa required.
