Purchase Cuba visa at the airport?

What is the cost of the visa if purchasing from CTS at the airport? JetBlue quotes $50 for a CTS purchase. Are there designated hours that the CTS desk is open? Just wondering how much time to allow for purchasing? Thanks for the info!

Hi @bakerwk,


Welcome to the Southwest Community! We're so happy to have you.

 

Regarding your question, every traveler is required to obtain a 2-part visa before traveling to Cuba. When returning to the United States from Cuba, you will be required to present the remaining half of your visa. There are several visa options available:

  • Cuban tourist visa - We have partnered with Cuba Travel Services(CTS) to fulfill your Cuba visa needs. We recommend purchasing your visa online prior to departure to the airport. You can also call CTS at (800) 617-1902 (Monday-Friday, 8 am-8 pm EDT) for assistance or to answer any visa related questions. You will pick up your Cuba visa on your day of travel inside the Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) or Tampa (TPA) airport at a CTS counter located at checkin or at your departure gate. Customers who do not purchase their Cuba visa online with CTS prior to arriving at the airport can purchase their Cuba visa on their day of travel at CTS ticket counters located inside the Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa airport.

The CTS # that is on their website is wrong? Can someone update the correct number.
