Travel Info U.S. citizen flying to Cuba via Mexico. Any do's or dont's at customs? Travel Tips The only DON'T is don't go. You are going to end up with a lot of fines for traveling to Cuba without permission. Currently, in order to go down legally if you are a US citizen you need a Treasury license, which you obtain from OFAC, Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. If you are Cuban-American or married to one, you can go down once every 3 years under a "general license" for humanitarian reasons (grave illness in the family, etc) and you only need to notify them via a form, but you do not need to get a license from them before leaving. If you are a "U.S. and foreign government official traveling on official business, including a representative of international organizations of which the U.S. is a member; or a journalist regularly employed by a news reporting organization," you also qualify for this "general license." Otherwise you need to get a license from OFAC to avoid being at risk for large fines ($3,000 to $10,000 typically!). Bottom line I guess is if you want to chance it be prepared for the fines when you get back home, and think about it this way if something pops off while you're down there you're SOL and on your own. It won't be like going to Jamaica and needing US assistance. Source(s): http://www.afrocubaweb.com/travelcuba.ht... Other Travel Tips 1.dont carry nives 2.dont threaten the security guard 3.do as they say 4 cooperate Don't make jokes about bombs just be really smart about it. dont dress like an idiot.. dress like a normal person and act normal and cool and collected. if you seem nervous or anything like that they would be more likely to search you or something. Yeah, don't criticize Castro, and don't let the US government know that you left Mexico. There are no "do's", just "dont's". The US government has been cracking down hard on those that travel to Cuba, if you get caught you won't think it was a fair trade to go. The fact is Cuba is a third world country, crumbling and living on the past. Poverty is everywhere but the tourist areas, it's not like you are missing much. |
