## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Russian ordinary passports: visa-free stays up to 90 days** (Visa-free)
  Russia’s current Foreign Ministry consular guidance says Russian citizens may enter Cuba without a visa for a stay not exceeding 90 days using a foreign passport.
  - The cited bilateral-consular guidance limits visa-free travel to stays not exceeding 90 days. Longer stays, residence, employment and commercial activity require a Cuban Embassy visa.
  - This treats the Russian foreign passport as the ordinary-passport baseline; it does not establish special documents, dual-citizenship treatment, entry conditions, public-order controls or final admission.

- **Current official route — Russian ordinary passports: Cuba visa-free short visit** (Visa-free)
  The current Russian MFA passport-type table records visa-free travel for an ordinary Russian passport to Cuba for up to 90 days in 180 days.
  - The ordinary-passport table states 'без визы до 90 суток в течение 180 дней' (visa-free up to 90 days in 180 days).
  - This does not alter the existing canonical Cuba-to-Russia policy; it records the outbound Russian-passport relation only and excludes longer stays, work, residence, documents and final admission.

- **Current official route — Cuba tourist visa: live exemption schedule** (Visa-free)
  The current Cuban Foreign Ministry eVisa country schedule marks thirteen listed nationalities as visa-exempt for tourist entry; Cuba Travel separately confirms the Chinese regular-passport exemption.
  - This is the live eVisa tourist-nationality schedule only. It does not establish work, study, residence, transit, special-passport, document, route or final-admission treatment.
  - Cuba Travel lists valid passport, medical insurance, return ticket, D'VIAJEROS QR code and final immigration admission among the remaining entry conditions.
  - Cuba Travel expressly describes China as a regular-passport exemption; the live eVisa schedule is the direct source for the other named nationalities.
