What’s changed for Cuban passports

United States

Under the US travel ban in force since 1 January 2026, US tourist, business and student visas are suspended for most Cuban passport holders.

US visa bond

Cuban applicants for US visitor visas can be asked for a bond of up to US$20,000, a rule made permanent in August 2026. It’s refunded if you follow the visa conditions.

United Kingdom

Cuban passport holders need a UK Standard Visitor visa: £135 since 8 April 2026. Read the UK guide.

Thailand

Thailand replaced its 60-day visa exemption on 15 September 2026. Cuban passports aren’t named on the new 30-day or 15-day lists, so the rule for you may now be a Thai e-Visa or a separate agreement between the two countries. Check with the Royal Thai Embassy before you book.
