List of countries with visa-free travel for Cubans in 2022

These are the visa requirements for Cuban citizens, the administrative entry restrictions imposed by the authorities of other states on citizens of the island. As of January 22, 2022, Cuban citizens had visa-free access (or with a visa upon entry) to 60 countries or territories, ranking the Cuban passport 53rd in the world in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.

Many countries have entry restrictions for foreigners that go beyond the common requirement of having a valid visa or visa exemption. These restrictions may be health-related or impose additional documentation requirements on certain classes of people for diplomatic or political purposes.

  1. I am a Cuban citizen, but I am currently studying in Russia. I want to know if I can somehow receive my student visa from Cuba without having to travel to Cuba.

  3. United Arab Emirates if you need an electronic visa for $150 it is not visa-free. They should fix that error. I even wrote to the embassy and they told me no, that I had to pay for it.

    • Hello, I am Cuban with an Irish son. From Cuba, I processed the entire process with the Irish embassy in Mexico online... and it was all a waste of money. After you send all the documentation and pay a lot of money, they deny you. The best thing to do is to go in person directly to the Mexican embassy.

  19. Hello, I am Cuban, I would like to know the possibilities that a Cuban has to be accepted as a refugee in Norway as a political refugee after the political repression of the Cuban communist party imposed by the Castros towards citizens who have different political ideals...

  26. Hello, I have to call the Bolivian embassy in Havana and we do need a visa to enter the country, either by invitation letter or financial solvency of 75000 pesos in the bank for 6 months before the trip. The visa on arrival is not real. Please fix that error.

    • Friend, you didn't finish reading the table. There's no mistake. Cuba belongs to group 2. A visa must be obtained before the intended trip. If you follow the link, all the requirements are clearly explained.

  29. Hello everyone, the Cuban community is battling. I would like to know an explanation about the Italian embassy because they only speak about Spain, both of which are united. I'm sending my son the documents. Due to the pandemic, nothing has been done, like all the documents are in order. The characteristics that are required, I'm sick, and I need some time with me. When will this be possible, please reply. I'm desperate.

      You need to make sure you can enter those countries that do not require a visa for Cuba. Many countries maintain border restrictions due to the health situation.
