This new entry requirement replaces the traditional paper tourist card and applies to most visitors, including Canadians.</p><p>The requirement was highlighted by the <a href="https://voyage.gc.ca/destinations/cuba#entreesortie" target="_blank">Government of Canada</a> in a recent update to inform travellers. The Cuban Ministry of Tourism made the announcement last April.</p><p><span></span>But don't panic — if you're <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/flights-from-montreal" target="_blank">flying with a Canadian airline</a> like Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet, or Sunwing, you're likely already covered. According to the Canadian government, e-visas are included in airfare packages with those carriers.</p><p>However, if you're booking with another airline or flying through another country (say, via Mexico or the U.S.), you'll need to apply for the e-visa yourself.</p><p>You can request it online through <a href="https://www.evisacuba.com" target="_blank">evisacuba.com</a> or by contacting a Cuban consulate in Canada, such as the one located on Décarie Boulevard in Montreal. The visa costs $24 CAD and can be paid by Interac transfer, money order, cheque, or directly at the consulate.</p><p>Once approved, travellers will receive an email with a unique code and a link to complete the D'Viajeros form — a mandatory travel declaration that must be filled out at least 48 hours before departure.</p><p>The e-visa allows for a single entry and stay of up to 90 days. It can be renewed once for an additional 90 days, for a total of 180 days.</p><p>To avoid any last-minute airport stress, make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and that you have valid medical insurance and a return ticket.</p><p>For more info, visit <a href="https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/cuba" target="_blank">travel.gc.ca</a> or check the official <a href="https://evisacuba.cu/en/inicio" target="_blank">eVisa Cuba site</a>.</p><p><em>Love this?
