Brett: think you will find a posting on here earlier about visa's for Cuba. We too have booked for July 2006 but with First Choice; they do the visas for you so afraid I cannot help
I have merged your post with a current topic on visas where you may find the information in previous posts.

when we traveled we were asked for our visa at the check in desk not sure if all airlines do this, if you do not want to get a visa before you fly i would contact the airline to make sure they provide visa's
Anybody heard of them? are they Kosher?
Its just there's nine visa's i want and i don't want to get ripped off
We got ours sent to us by our TO. The visa price was included in the cost of the holiday. Is your holiday a DIY one?
the website cubavisa.com is just a registered domain name and i can't find any info on them so i would very very careful
if your visa is not included in your holiday then contact the cuban embassy for advice

Does anyone know or remember that when visiting Cuba whether it's just the tourist card which gets stamped and not the passport ?The reason I ask is that someone told me that if you get your passport stamped you won't in the future be let into the USA since of course it's generally illegal for USA citizens to visit Cuba.If the USA official sees the Cuban stamp on the passport they take a dim view.I personally don't believe you would be refused entry but on the other hand the USA does have a trade embargo against Cuba and I would prefer not to have the passport stamped knowing they dislike this communist country.I certainly remember in the past being asked the question on a USA embarkation card,Are you a communist ? So you can see what I am getting at.You will remember of course that all UK citizens in the past had to have a visa in order to travel to the States which was a left over from the 50's McCarthy era when they thought we were all potential commies.USA citizens have of course never needed a visa to travel to the UK.
They don't stamp your passport when you enter or leave unless you specifically request them to do so (and the customs men often want a tip if you ask them to stamp your passport !) so don't worry. it's not a big deal even if they do - the US have no legal right to refuse you admission to the US - as you say, it's only US citizens who aren't supposed to go to Cuba but many do via Canada and then don't have there passports stamped when they enter and leave the country.
Also, there is a line on the floor at Holguin, you must wait behind this line for your turn at the immigration booth, a couple of people were pushed back quite roughly by the security guards while we were waiting.

Can anyone advise what type of plug sockets are in use in the 4/5 star hotels? I'll ned to plug in my mosquito machine and ipod charger?
Hi
Booked two weeks with Portland Holidays flying with Thomas Cooke Airline - do Portland supply the visas does anyone know. if not will get ball rolling with Embassy, ten weeks and counting
As Im Cabin Crew, I have a US Visa in my passport will this effect my entry into the country? I shouldnt think so as I not a US Citizen but a British citizen.
Where do I get the application form? I have found two addresses for the Cuban Consulate and dont know which one to use. Do I just send a letter and ask for two application forms and a SAE for them to send them back in or do I need to send any details or money at this point?
When I get the application form and send it back I have to include the details of the holiday? Mine is a late deal I booked on the internet, will I need to wait for my holiday details/ticket to be sent to me before I can complete the application. Also since I have accomodation on arrival what do I put down as my hotel name?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Some holiday companies include the visa in your travel documents. If not, you can download the application form and send with postal order (not cheque) to the embassy to get a visa form which you complete and hand in at immigration (takes ages)
Iv just read all the info on visas etc and i think im being a bit thick or im getting very confused! Could someone please tell me if i need a visa to travel to Cuba? Or if this is included and comes direct from First Choice who we have booked with.
If you have booked with First Choice your tourist card or "visa" will be included with your tickets when you receive them
