ZRH-HAV RT - 1 British, 1 American
Hi all,
i'd like to go from ZRH-HAV potentially tomorrow. two people travelling - one british, one american. Has anyone entered Cuba recently on a US passport - what is the easiest way to enter if it's rather short notice?
Thanks

It's pretty much the same for everyone as far as the Cuban authorities are concerned. You just need to buy your tourist card somewhere before you arrive (they charge a lot more on arrival). The U.S. citizen just has to be aware of possible future consequences from U.S. authorities down the road.

As YVR says, the airline taking you to Cuba should be able to issue you the Cuban tourist card. Otherwise, it's available when you arrive at HAV.
Cuban authorities now stamp everybody's passport on entry and exit. For whichever one of you is the U.S. citizen, there is no concealing that you've been to Cuba. The trip as you describe it would not conform to U.S. law. What you do with that information is your choice.
