To enter the country as a tourist, your passport must have at least 6 months validity from the date of arrival in Cuba and you need a return plane-ticket. Visa for many foreigners consists of a Tourist Card, called Tarjeta Turistica that is usually issued along with your plane ticket. Be sure your travel agency will also issue the Tarjeta, otherwise you'll need to apply at the nearest Cuban

Embassy or Consulate; in this case you may be asked to show your booking at a state-run hotel (it depends on the Consulate or Embassy). The Tarjeta can be also bought at the Josè Martì Airport in la Habana on your arrival and also in other International Airports like Santiago, Camaguey, Cienfuegos, Holguin, Guantanamo, Ciego de Avila, Varadero, Cayo Coco and Cayo Largo.

If you come from Mexico and you're not a Mexican citizen, you will be required to show your Mexican Touristic Card. Visa is valid for 4 weeks and can be extended at any immigration office, showing your passport, Tarjeta Turistica and paying around 30 US$.

Passport stamp is not put by Cuban Customs on your passport, so if you want Cuban stamp on your it, you have to expressly request to custom officer before leaving the country.
