D'Viajeros step by step: the Cuba entry form
D'Viajeros is the official online form that Cuba requires before you arrive in the country. According to the official website, it opens 72 hours before your arrival in Cuba and it's mandatory to complete it 48 hours in advance, because airlines operating in Cuba check it before boarding. Have it done before going to the airport.
What is D'Viajeros
D'Viajeros is the traveler form from Cuba's Ministry of Transport (MITRANS). According to its official website, the information you provide serves Immigration and Nationality Affairs, the General Customs office, and the Ministry of Public Health. You complete it online at a single website for all languages: D'Viajeros official website(opens in a new tab).
According to the official website, you choose the language within the form itself: Spanish, English, Chinese, Russian, Italian, French, and German. There's no need to look for a different website for each one.
