About Visa:
(1) According to the mutual visa exemption agreement between China and Cuba, Chinese citizens holding diplomatic, official and official ordinary passports are exempted from applying for visas.
(2) Holders of private ordinary passports who come to visit Cuba need to apply for a tourist visa. With a valid visa, they can stay in the country for 30 days, which can be extended for another 30 days after the expiration of the period.
About Customs:
(1) Individuals are allowed to bring 2 bottles of wine, one cigarette, 10 kilograms of regular packaged medicines and goods valued at 200 US dollars duty-free. (2) If you bring more than 5,000 U.S. dollars in cash or items of comparable value into the country, you are required to fill out a customs declaration form. If you need to take them with you when you leave the country, you may present the declaration form or the relevant documents from the bank proving their legal origin.
(3) Each person is allowed to bring 23 Cuban cigars when leaving the country; if there are more than 23 cigars, a copy of the invoice and its copy must be provided by the regular store, otherwise they will be confiscated.
(4) Strict controls are imposed on agricultural and meat products as well as medicines and electrical appliances. It is strictly prohibited to bring in cordless telephones, cordless headsets, VCRs, DVD players, air-conditioners, electric stoves, microwave ovens, electric water heaters and electric irons with a power of more than 290 watts. If any of the above items are suspected to be in personal baggage, Customs officers will ask to open the box for inspection. If prior procedures such as tax exemption or entry authorization have not been completed, they will be detained. However, they are allowed 30 days from the date of detention to complete the relevant procedures, and any overdue items will be confiscated.
(5) Diplomats resident in Cuba are exempt from the Havana airport tax on presentation of their identity cards, while all other travelers, including non-resident diplomats, are required to pay an airport tax of 25 Cuban convertible pesos per person.
About health care:
Foreigners seeking medical treatment in Cuba must go to a specialized foreign hospital (CLINICA CIRA GARCIA), which is better than the one used by Cubans, but charges quite high fees and only charges in Cuban convertible pesos.
