This page concerns ordinary short visits unless an official source states otherwise. Authorities apply the current rule, and individual circumstances can change the applicable treatment.

## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Full British citizen passport: Cuba tourist electronic visa** (eVisa)
  FCDO says a full British citizen passport holder may obtain Cuba's tourist electronic visa, which is linked to the applicant's passport.
  - A tourist visa is required before travel. FCDO says the electronic-visa is linked to the passport after approval and a code is entered in the D'Viajeros process.
  - A paper tourist visa route also exists. Onward/return travel, the D'Viajeros arrival form, tourism purpose, document and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

- **Current official route — Cuba tourist eVisa: live non-risk nationality schedule** (eVisa)
  For the named active nationalities that the current Cuban Foreign Ministry eVisa schedule neither marks visa-exempt nor risk-routed, the ordinary tourist request remains available through eVisa-Cuba and the issued visa code is sent by email before travel.
  - Each named nationality is an active record in the live Cuban Foreign Ministry eVisa schedule with librev false and riesgo false. This is a direct schedule-based assignment, not an inference from portal branding, a nationality field or an unlisted country.
  - Cuba Travel states that a tourist visa is mandatory for a traveller without Cuban residence, gives the internet route, and says the tourist receives a visa code and payment proof by email. The live service describes the electronic visa as linked to the valid passport.
  - The route is limited to an ordinary short tourist visit. Cuban citizenship, residence, work, study, transit, family, crew, special-document and final-admission conditions remain outside this classification.
  - Applications made from the United States have the distinct purchase arrangement stated by Cuba Travel; that place-of-application condition does not change the passport-nationality route.
