Do Eswatini citizens need a visa for Cuba?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Eswatini passport entering Cuba is "eVisa required", for stays of up to 90 days (eVisa) extendable +90. This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Cuba embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Eswatini passport holders may stay in Cuba for up to 90 days (eVisa) extendable +90 per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

Eswatini passport holders must apply for an eVisa online before traveling to Cuba. Complete the application, upload the required documents, pay the fee, and wait for approval before departure. Be ready to provide: eVisa from August 2024; Medical insurance; Min USD 50/day funds; Return ticket.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Additional requirements: eVisa from August 2024; Medical insurance; Min USD 50/day funds; Return ticket. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Cuba is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Cuba, Eswatini citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 90 days (eVisa) extendable +90 short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Cuba immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
