The D’Viajeros form is a mandatory free online procedure for all travellers entering Cuba. It collects personal, travel, health, and customs information and generates a QR code to present at arrival. The guide explains when to complete it, how to avoid common errors, and that children need their own form.
It also distinguishes D’Viajeros from the separate e-Visa, which is required in most cases and is paid. The article advises using the official site, filling out the form a few days before departure, and keeping the QR code both digitally and in print.
