古巴:出發前須知
重點
- Cuba is in a severe fuel and power crisis: repeated nationwide blackouts, water and food shortages, many flights cut. The UK advises against all but essential travel (Sept 2026); Canada advises avoiding non-essential travel.
- Since 6 June 2026 Visa and Mastercard (any issuer) no longer work in Cuba, including ATMs. Bring all the cash you need (EUR/USD) plus an emergency reserve.
- You need an eVisa (paper tourist cards withdrawn) unless visa-exempt, plus the D'Viajeros form within 72 hours before arrival (QR code checked at check-in).
- Medical insurance valid in Cuba is mandatory (US policies not accepted); otherwise buy Asistur cover at the airport.
- A Cuba visit since 12 Jan 2021 makes you ineligible for the US ESTA. US citizens may not travel for tourism under US law (OFAC categories only).
入境與簽證
Most visitors need a Cuban eVisa (single entry, up to 90 days, extendable once by 90 days) bought via evisacuba.cu, an embassy, airline or tour operator; the 10-character code is entered in D'Viajeros to generate a QR code. Russia, Belarus, China and UAE citizens are visa-exempt under bilateral agreements. Proof of onward travel, Cuba-valid medical insurance and sufficient funds are required. Travellers flying from the US need an eVisa issued for US departures; US citizens must fit an OFAC authorised category.
