About Cuba Family Visa
The Cuba Family Visa, also known as the Cuba Family Visa (A-2), is an official visa for people who are going to visit family members or relatives in Cuba. The visa is used when the traveler is going to stay with a Cuban citizen, permanent resident foreigner, or other family member during their stay.
The A-2 visa differs from a regular tourist card because it is specifically intended for family visits and often requires documentation proving the family relationship or accommodation of the host in Cuba.
Swedish citizens who plan to visit family in Cuba for an extended period of time or stay with relatives may need to apply for an A-2 visa before or after arrival, depending on the current rules and the structure of the trip.
The validity and permitted length of stay of the visa are decided by Cuban authorities and may vary depending on the circumstances of the individual case.
You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Copy of passport information page
- The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
- Visa photo
- Documents proving the family relationship
- Invitation or details of the family member in Cuba
- Address of the place of stay in Cuba
- Any additional documents requested by Cuban authorities
Cuba can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
