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. If you are a Canadian citizen, the valid passport to enter to Cuba is the Canadian passport, issued by Passport Canada.  If you apply for your tourist card here at the Embassy you can do it personally. Bring your passport, the tourist card form (which you can download here...) and cash or a money order for $24.00 CAD. It can be done in one day. You can also do it by regular mail. That is a very quick procedure, a couple of days maximum. You should send the form, a money order for $56.00 CAD ($24.00 for the tourist card and $32.00 for non-in-person procedure fee), a photocopy of the main page of your passport, and a prepaid envelope so we can send it back to you together with the receipt. The tourist card allows its holder to stay in Cuba for 90 days from the date of entry into the country, and is valid for 1 entry into Cuba. For a stay of more than 90 days, one can request an extension of another 3 months at any tourism office in Cuba, for a maximum stay of 6 months. Children, regardless of their age, also require a tourist card, even if they are registered on their parents' passports. Note that a tourist card is only applicable when you are staying at a hotel or at a private house legally renting in Cuba. If you want to stay at a friend’s place you should apply for a Personal Visa.
