"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."
A hotel booking confirmation is one of the supporting documents Cuba embassies require alongside your flight reservation, financial proof and visa application form. The booking does not need to be paid — a held confirmation showing your full name, dates inside the visa-validity window, hotel address and a confirmation number is sufficient for visa-officer review.
What Cuba Visa Officers Look For on Your Hotel Booking
The booking must contain: full passenger name matching your passport, hotel name and exact street address in Cuba, check-in and check-out dates that align with your flight itinerary, total nights and a confirmation/reservation reference. MyJet24 produces this format directly from major booking-platform inventories — no fabricated details, no edited screenshots.

Each Cuba embassy publishes its own list of required documents. Hotel bookings are universally accepted in held form (Booking.com cancellable rate, hotel-direct hold, MyJet24 PDF). You do NOT need to pay the hotel before submitting your visa application — most embassies explicitly recommend not paying until visa approval.
Cuba Tourist Card Hotel Booking — Tarjeta del Turista & e-Visa Rules 2026
Cuba operates the Tarjeta del Turista (Tourist Card) system — a $20–50 paper card issued by Cuban consulates and authorised travel agents, NOT a traditional visa. The card is mandatory for almost all foreign visitors and is colour-coded: green for non-US travellers, pink for US passport holders. Since November 2024, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) operates the e-Visa platform at evisacuba.cu alongside the paper card. All foreign visitors must declare an accommodation address on the arrival card — Cuban immigration officers at HAV José Martí, VRA Varadero, and HOG Holguín cross-check against the booking PDF.
| Cuba Pathway | Card Type | Hotel Required? | Mandatory Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-US Tourist | Green Card ($25) | At arrival declaration | Yes — at airport |
| US Passport Tourist | Pink Card ($50) | License category proof | Yes |
| e-Visa (online) | $70 USD digital | Upload at portal | Embedded in card |
| Cuban-American Visit | A6 visa via consulate | Casa particular or hotel | Embassy verification |
Casa particular registration: Casas particulares (private homestays) must be Ministerio de Turismo (MINTUR)-licensed with a current Certificado de Operación. MINTUR uploads foreign-guest data to the immigration registry within 24 hours.
Havana HAV & Varadero VRA Aduana de Cuba Hotel Checks 2026

Aduana de Cuba accommodation checks run on around 11% of visitors — particularly US arrivals routing through Mexico City or Nassau.
