Traveling to Cuba as a EU-Citizen with a J-1 Visa
Hey,
I'm a EU-Citizen(Germany) and live in Alabama for an Internship at the moment. My holidays will be at the end of Juni and i would love to travel to Cuba.
I own a J-1 Visa and now I'm wondering if I'm allowed to travel to Cuba, legally.
Do any of you already have experience with that? I would be glad to get an advice

There is a lot of information on this situation on various travel forums for Cuba. No one has reported a problem, although you may be asked the purpose of your trip on re-entry.
If your J-1 visa is OK for re-entry to the US, you should have no problem.
Cuban gov't requirements:
You will need a pink tourist card (purchased from the airline or its agent).
You will fill out a health form at the airport, to be handed in on arrival.
You will fill out a customs form at the airport, to be handed in on arrival.
