Cuba trip checklist
For a Belize passport.
Belizean citizens need an eVisa to enter Cuba. An eVisa has to be applied for and approved online before travelling to Cuba. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. Where the destination government and the traveller's own government disagree, the destination government decides, because it is the one that writes the rule. Requirements can also differ by the route taken, the purpose of the trip and the length of stay, so read the official page for the exact case rather than the general one. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.
Adding a date turns every lead time below into a real deadline and lets you save the entry deadline to a calendar. It stays in the address bar, so the link you share carries it. Nothing is sent to Yoogo.

Vaccination requirements are set by Cuba and by your own health service, and some need weeks to take effect. Ask a travel clinic rather than guessing.

Save the local emergency numbers
In Cuba: ambulance 104, police 106, fire 105. Save them before you land, not after.
Money
Sort out CUP before you go
Cuba uses CUP. Airport exchange desks carry the widest spread, so check the rate and arrange money before you travel.

Tell your bank you are travelling
A card frozen for suspicious activity on day one is a common and entirely avoidable problem. Check foreign transaction fees at the same time.
