Short answer: MIREX publishes a US$100 fee for a single-entry tourist visa (TS) and US$150 for a multiple-entry tourist visa (TM). That is the known official component, not the complete budget: photographs, copies, applicable legalizations, transport and reservations depend on the application.
Published official consular fees
| Visa type | Fee published by MIREX |
|---|---|
| Single-entry tourism (TS) | US$100 |
| Multiple-entry tourism (TM) | US$150 |
| Single-entry business (NS) | US$150 |
| Student (E) | US$100 |
| Dependent (DPM) | US$150 |
| Residence (RS) | US$200 |
This table answers “how much is the visa” in the narrow sense. For tourist travel from Cuba, first confirm whether TS or TM applies and check the fee again when preparing payment. Do not send money to a personal account merely because someone reproduces this table.
A complete budget worksheet
| Item | Amount you can establish today | How to obtain the missing figure |
|---|---|---|
| TS or TM fee | US$100 or US$150 | Official MIREX fee portal |
| 4 × 5 cm photograph | Variable | Quote from a local studio |
| Copies and certifications | Varies by application | List confirmed by the Consulate |
| Consular legalization, when applicable | MIREX lists US$25 per service | Confirm the document actually needs it |
| Transport in Cuba | Variable | Round-trip route for filing or interview |
| Insurance, lodging and reservation | Variable | Use cancelable options while the visa is pending |
| Intermediary | Optional | Require a contract, scope and receipt |
Useful formula: known minimum budget = visa fee. Operating budget = fee + photograph + documents your case requires + transport. Trip budget = operating budget + insurance + lodging + ticket, preferably refundable or flexible.
Example: a TS application begins with a US$100 consular fee. Once the applicant quotes photographs, copies and transport, those actual amounts should be added. We do not invent a range because local prices are not listed in the official source and vary by provider.
What to confirm before filing
The Consulate in Havana publishes requirements by category. Depending on the visa, they may include a form, application letter, 4 × 5 cm photograph, a passport valid for at least six months, and personal, financial or guarantor evidence. Do not reuse another category’s checklist as if it were yours.
- Identify the visa category and open its official section.
- Create a checklist limited to documents that apply to your case.
- Ask the Consulate how, where and in which currency payment is made.
- Quote photos, copies, transport and every confirmed legalization separately.
- Check names, dates and consistency before filing.
What an applicant should not do
- Do not assume paying the fee guarantees approval.
- Do not buy nonrefundable tickets before a decision; MIREX advises against it.
- Do not alter documents or pay for a “guaranteed visa.”
- Do not post passports, bank statements or case numbers on social media.
- Do not pay for a legalization merely because it appears in a fee table; confirm it is required.
