Living in cuba


(Miami,Florida,USA)

If I was born in cuba, but I am now a US citizen can I stay in Cuba to live? Without giving away my American citizenship?

Answer by Vic webmaster havana-guide.com
This is a complicated issue, I just can give some general guidelines that have to be checked with the Cuban authorities. (Cuban Interest section at the Swiss Embassy in the USA)
You can not lose your Cuban citizenship when you were born in Cuba (Cuban birth certificate).In general Cuba will consider you as a Cuban citizen living abroad when you enter Cuba. As a matter of fact you will have a dual citizenship Cuban-US-American. I understand from your question, that you are applying for a permanent residence in Cuba. In this case there's a lot of red tape. Permanent residence is only granted when you are married to a Cuban citizen, can proof your solvency, housing, income, pass a medical examination etc. This are just general guidelines for latest updates consult the Cuban Immigration Authority at Cuban Interests Section

Note that travel to Cuba is restricted for US citizens and that you need a OFAC license that gives you permision to travel to Cuba.

Travel to Cuba is restricted for US citizens and that you need a OFAC license that gives you permision to travel to Cuba.

U.S. CITIZENS NEED TO KNOW
This is a restriction enforced by the U.S. GOVERNMENT NOT CUBA.

Cuba welcomes all tourists including U.S. citizens. Unfortunately you will have to travel from another country because your government will not let you go there, you know, the embargo. But be WARNED if your government finds out you visited Cuba, you can be fined by the U.S. government up to $50,000. You know, THE LAND OF THE FREE.

P.S. If you do visit Cuba , take Euro or CAD money.
U.S. is accepted in banks for exchange but at 17% extra plus exchange.
