Cuba has announced the extension of physical tourist card validity until December 31, 2025, giving travelers time to adjust to the country’s new electronic visa (e-Visa) system, which launched in July 2024.
According to TravelBiz, the move allows holders of the traditional Tarjeta del Turista to continue entering Cuba until the end of next year, even though new tourist cards are no longer being issued.
Nairametrics reported that the physical tourist card, originally set to expire on December 31, 2024, was previously extended to June 30, 2025, as part of Cuba’s phased transition to a digital visa system.
