With effect from January 5, 2022, people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 must also present a negative PCR test when entering Cuba. This must be a maximum of 72 hours old, whereby the time of the smear test counts.

In addition, people who want to spend their vacation on the island, for example, have to register electronically in advance. You then receive a QR code, which you can choose to show on your smartphone or printed out at the border control.

The Cuban government has instructed the airlines that are heading for their national territory that they must check the vaccination certificate, PCR test and QR code during check-in. The QR code can also be requested at the hotel. Important: The negative corona test (PCR) must not be older than 72 hours at the time of the entry control by the Cuban authorities.
