Step 1 - Know the current travel restrictions of the USA

Travel Restrictions

Read the Travel Restrictions that apply to any person traveling from US territory and returning to US territory. In short, a person with family in Cuba can visit their relatives and can also qualify in another category as an academic or professional with the purpose of research in Cuba, or a journalist, or a student visiting Cuba with academic credit from their university. There are also specific licenses granted by OFAC. You have an obligation to read and understand the OFAC regulations and understand how they apply in your own case.

Step 2 - Ensure that your travel documents are current

Passports and visas

If you were born in Cuba or are going to visit your family in Cuba, you will need a permit to enter Cuban passports and Cuban visas. Cubans who entered the United States before 1971 will need an HE-11 visa. If you entered the US after 1971, you will need a valid Cuban passport that is authorized for entry to Cuba. The Cuban passport is valid for 6 years but has to be extended every 2 years.

To leave and return to the US, you must have a US passport, permanent residence or multiple entry visa. You can consult us but you have an obligation to ensure that these documents are in order. If you live in another country and will be traveling to Cuba from the US and returning to the US, you should consult with the Cuban consulate to ensure that you have all the necessary documents to leave and return to the US.

You have the responsibility to ensure that your documents are in order, and we at ALEA'S TAX SERVICES can help you. In our office we provide all procedures: HE-11, extension, renewal of passport, first passport preparation, and several other visas and permits.
