Questions fréquemment posées

Do I need a visa for the USA or Canada?+
It depends on your nationality. Citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries can enter the USA via ESTA for $21. Canada offers an eTA for CAD$7 to visa-exempt nationalities. All other nationalities need full visitor visas. Check the official US and Canadian government websites for your specific passport.
What is the Dominican Republic E-Ticket?+
The Dominican Republic replaced its old tourist card with the E-Ticket in 2023. Every visitor must complete this digital form before arrival at Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, or any other entry point. It costs around $10 and is approved instantly.
Can US citizens travel to Cuba?+
US citizens can legally travel to Cuba under specific OFAC-approved categories (educational, religious, family visits, etc.) — straightforward tourism is not technically permitted. US citizens must obtain a Cuba tourist card through approved channels and must not spend money at Cuban government-owned entities.
