Practical Cuba
Embassies and Consulates for Cuba
The atlas holds 123 Cuban diplomatic missions abroad, each linked to its official listing. These are the offices to consult for visas, entry requirements and consular assistance — and they are the authority, ahead of any guide including this one.
How it works, not what it costs — reviewed 2026-08-24.
Which office you need
For a visa or a question about entry requirements, the office you need is the Cuban embassy or consulate accredited to the country you are travelling from — not the one nearest to you geographically, and not one in a third country. Where a consulate exists separately from the embassy, consular matters go to the consulate.
Requirements differ by nationality and by where you are resident, which is exactly why the mission for your own country is the right source. Our visa page sets out the general shape of the process; the mission sets out what applies to you.
If something goes wrong in Cuba
The reverse direction matters too: if you need help while in Cuba, you want your own country's embassy in Havana, not a Cuban mission. Note the address and telephone number before you travel and carry them offline, because connectivity in Cuba is metered and not something to rely on in an emergency.
Most foreign embassies in Cuba are concentrated in Havana, in Miramar and Vedado. Consular assistance typically covers lost passports, detention, serious illness and death — not funding, legal representation or travel costs.
Why the directory links out rather than restating
Contact details, opening hours and appointment systems change frequently, and a stale phone number in a travel guide is worse than no phone number. Each entry links to the official listing so you reach the current information rather than a snapshot.
The directory is compiled from [object Object], and missions with no verifiable published contact are flagged as such rather than filled in with a plausible guess.
