Short profile:

Tourist card-The procedure is very easy: every person going to Cuba as a tourist only needs a valid passport (it does not matter the nationality) for at least 1 month after the visit to Cuba and a tourist card (it works as a visa) that can be obtained from a travel agency when booking a trip to Cuba or bought at the airport of Toronto or Montreal here in Canada before going to Cuba. Some airlines sale the tourist cards: Cubana Airlines, Lacsa, Copa, etc. If you book a flight to Cuba with Air Canada, the card is included on the price of the plane ticket and it would be hand it to you once you are on the plane.

Detailed description:

Personal Visa-Personal visa is only given to people with close relatives in Cuba or people married to a Cuban citizen.

- Complete the application form and send it to the Cuban Consulate with the Passport or the photocopy of the main page. You may obtain the application form at the Consulate or through the link below.

- A photocopy of marriage certificate.

- The authorization procedure to issue this visa takes, at least 15 days from the date the Consulate receives the completed application form.

A letter of invitation from a Cuban company or institution is not required to obtain a visa to explore business opportunities in Cuba, however information on the purpose of the trip shall be provided to the Cuban Consulate. To apply for this visa you should, first of all, contact the Commercial Office at the Cuban Embassy in Ottawa. This office will try to put you in contact with the relevant entity or company in Cuba, according to your interests. If you arrive in Cuba without previously arranging a meeting, your trip would probably serve no useful purpose. It is recommended not to go to explore the market without getting in contact at least with one Cuban company interested in your business proposal and willing to meet with you while in Cuba.

Description in a foreign language:

El navegante Cristóbal Colón llegó a la isla de Cuba el 27 de octubre de 1492. Tal fue su admiración por la belleza del paisaje que no dudó en exclamar: "Esta es la tierra más hermosa que ojos humanos vieron".

Fue Diego Velásquez quien conquistó el territorio, iniciando un proceso de asentamiento y fundación de las primeras villas cubanas, a saber: Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Baracoa (1512), San Salvador de Bayamo (1513), La Santísima Trinidad (1514), Sancti Spíritus (1514), Santiago de Cuba (1515), San Cristóbal de La Habana (1514) y Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe (1515).

Los conquistadores españoles esclavizaron los aborígenes y extinguieron su población en pocos años. Ante la necesidad de mano de obra suplente, fueron traídos por la fuerza miles de negros africanos para trabajar como esclavos en los campos de caña de azúcar, que ya vislumbraba como el primer renglón de la economía cubana.
