Cuba visa requirements for Egyptian citizens in 2025

Cuba welcomes Egyptian travelers with a straightforward visa process through the Tourist Card system. We at iVisa have simplified the application process to help Egyptian citizens easily obtain their Cuba Tourist Card for hassle-free travel to this vibrant Caribbean destination.

Understanding the Cuba Tourist Card system

The Cuba Tourist Card differs from a traditional visa and serves as the primary travel authorization for Egyptian citizens visiting Cuba. Key aspects include:

• Valid for tourism purposes only
• Single entry authorization
• Must be obtained before travel
• Different color cards based on travel route (pink for US transit, green for other routes)

Pro Tip: We recommend applying at least 2 weeks before your planned travel date to avoid any last-minute complications.

• Valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond planned stay
