I traveled several times when they made visa-free travel available. They should reinstate it because it's very expensive now. You have to pay a lawyer in Psnama to process your transit visa, and the procedures in Havana are very cumbersome.
I think visa-free travel generates more income for the country.
Good night please, why don't they resume flights to Panama from Holguín since there are many of us visiting Holguín and the surrounding provinces?
Beautiful country. I was traveling since 2019 for 5 years, but when my visa expired, I got sick and couldn't travel to renew it.
Because there are no flights to Holguín, many people from that eastern part go to Panama, and getting to Havana is difficult.
I want to go shopping in Panama but life is very difficult. They charge me 2000 dollars for one. I don't believe it. I can't. I want to go through formal channels. I already went once as a tourist. God bless you very much.
