Cuba

If you’ve travelled to Cuba since January 2021, you’re not eligible to participate in the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP). You can’t enter or transit the US on an ESTA, and you’ll need to apply for a visa from the nearest US Embassy. There’s an ongoing severe shortage of fuel, which is impacting transport and other government services. There’s also a severe shortage of food and drinking water (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:
