Most travellers need a tourist card (Tarjeta del Turista) to enter Cuba, which allows for up to 30 days of stay, extendable once. This card is usually sufficient for language courses like those offered by Sprachcaffe, as long as the total stay does not exceed 60 days. If you plan a longer course or stay, you might need to apply for a student visa.
We recommend checking with the Cuban embassy or consulate in your country before travelling. Sprachcaffe provides necessary confirmation documents such as your course enrolment and accommodation proof to support your visa application.
No, working in Cuba while on a tourist visa or as a language student is not legally permitted. Cuban immigration laws are strict about employment, and any form of paid work would require a specific work permit, which is not compatible with tourist or student stays. Therefore, we suggest planning your budget accordingly and focusing on the language, culture, and experiences Cuba has to offer during your course.
Cuba offers a rich variety of cultural, historical, and natural highlights. Here are our top 10 must-sees:
