Phoned Customer Services at First Choice this morning - they claim to have sent the visas out on 14th February!! Bit strange that its the same date that tickets were printed but visas were "apparently" sent out separately.Agent said that they had been having a lot of problems with Cuban tourist cards lately.
Have now arranged to pick up new ones from First Choice desk at Gatwick next Tuesday night before flight! Not very happy to say the least!
LOZZA07 - suggest you ring asap unless you have actually received yours.

Looks like we are collecting ours from the FC customer service desk too... would anyone know if we would do this before or after we check in?

Thanks

Lozza07,

I would collect them before you check-in but it doesn't make much difference really.

Re: CUBA VISA...PLEASE POST Q&As HERE

You need a travel visa from Cuba Embasey in London cost £15.00 look on line. Who are you travelling with because some companies issue them and included in holiday price. Fist Choice being one but Thomson do not include them.

Re: CUBA VISA...PLEASE POST Q&As HERE

Wendy, I emailed thomas cook about this and it seems that they are included in the cost of the holiday. Apparently the visas should arrive with your tickets. Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks.
