In the 48 hours before you travel to Cuba you’ll need to complete the D’Viajeros Form, an online form, issued by the Cuban Government. It’s a relatively simple form, but it’s a requirement for traveling to Cuba. It includes personal information, and customs information and must be completed by all travelers, regardless of nationalities (including returning Cubans). Our guide covers all the information you need, the sections to complete, and what health information you need to provide. Here’s our guide on how to fill in the D’Viajeros Form for Cuba.

The D’Viajeros form is an online system that collects information about you, the traveler, for your trip to Cuba. It combines information for the immigration, health, and customs services of the Government of Cuba. This form, “the travelers” in English is required for ALL travelers, regardless of your nationality, immigration status, or mode of travel. You need to complete the D’Viajeros form if you’re flying to Cuba or if you’re arriving at one of Cuba’s Ports or Marinas.
You must have the form completed BEFORE you arrive at the airport as it will be checked by your airline. Some of the fields are mandatory, I have detailed where they are. As ever when traveling, I recommend you only complete mandatory fields – APART from the email address on the Personal Information Page, definitely include this.
What is the D’Viajeros Form?
Before 2023 there were separate forms that needed to be completed when traveling to Cuba. Some of these were online and some were paper forms. Just like you get in any other country when you arrive.
The D’Viajeros Form for Cuba combines the previously used
- Boarding and Disembarkation Form/Card
- The Customs Declaration Form
- The Travelers Health Affidavit
You can access the D’Viajeros form here.

Step by Step Guide to Completing the D’Viajeros Form
First go to the D’Viajeros Webste. You’ll find it here.
Selecting the Language to Complete the D’Viajeros Form in
The D’Viajeros form is available in Spanish, English, French, Russian, Italian, and German. You can change the language, by clicking the logo at the top right-hand corner of the webpage.
If you need a language other than that, I’d recommend using the Chrome web browser and selecting to translate automatically.
Click FORM REQUEST. This will begin your process of completing a new D’Viajeros form.
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 1: Personal Information
On this page, you’ll need to enter Full Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Country where the traveler was born, Passport Issuing Country, Passport Number, and Country of Permanent Residence.
The fields that are MANDATORY will be ringed in RED. When you complete them they will go green. If a field has a grey ring around it, then it is not mandatory.
I also recommend including your email address on this page. This means that at the end of the process, you will be emailed a copy of your D’Viajeros form, as well as the code that you will need if you have to edit your form at a later date.
If you miss one of the mandatory fields, then you will not be able to progress to the next page and you’ll get an error message.
When you have completed all these fields, then Click NEXT. If you make a mistake you can always click RETURN which will take you to the previous page.
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 2: Migratory Information
On this page, you’ll be completing the following fields (and note again, if they are RED then they are mandatory, and once you have completed them the ring around the field goes green)
- Arrival Date (day in numbers, month year)
- Flight Number
- Airline Name
- Airport of Entry to Cuba
- Traveler’s Country of Origin (where did you take your flight to Cuba from)
- Travel Reason
You must type in your Flight Number
Select your airline from a drop-down list
Select your arrival airport from a drop-down list – they start with the name of the airport and include the airport code.
A.I. Jose Marti (HAV) is Havana International Airport
Select your travel reason from a drop-down list that includes
- Resident
- Tourism
- Transhipment

- Visit

Note these reasons are from the Cuban Government. They are NOTHING to do with what you, if you’re an American, might have had to detail for the US Government.
When you have completed this page, then click NEXT.
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 3: Sanitary Information
This information was previously known as a health declaration.
You’ll need to complete the type of accommodation that you’re staying in (Home, Hotel, or House for Rent). This is a drop-down list to select from. If you are staying in a Casa Particular (you should, they’re fabulous, you can read my guide here), then select House for Rent.
If you are staying in a hotel you will select the name of it from a drop-down list.
And then the address of where you are staying. If you are traveling around on your Cuba Itinerary, then put the address of the first night you are staying.
The only other mandatory information required on this page is the province in which you are staying for that first night. This is a drop-down list.
The other fields were used for travel during the pandemic. My guess is that they are left in there in case something similar happens in the future. But you do not need to complete them.
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 4: Customs Information
There are two required fields on this page. They are marked with an asterisk (*). It’s the first question and the last one.
Unaccompanied baggage? (Yes or No)
Do you have something to declare at Customs? (Yes or No)
There is no requirement to declare what you’re bringing unless you are bringing
- More than US$5,000 in cash
- Miscellaneous non-personal items worth more than US$1,000
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 5: Sworn Declaration
On the Sworn Declaration page simply check the box indicating that you agree with all the content that you’ve typed in and that it is complete and true.
Then type in the code that you see, this is to check that you’re not a robot!
Completing the D’Viajeros Form Page 5: The PDF and QR code
This page is the final page. You can click View PDF, which will open in a new window and which will display all the information that you’ve inputted, as well as a QR code.
Printed on this screen is a code that you can use to return to this page and edit the form if you need to.
Save this PDF to your computer or phone.
