Verified Oct 3, 2026 · Source: cubaminrex.cu (opens in a new tab)How to apply
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Saudi Arabia, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Saudi Arabia as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Saudi Arabia license
Cuba and Saudi Arabia are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Saudi Arabia is one Cuba is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.

- D'Viajeros traveler information form — Cuba's D'Viajeros site says it is mandatory for each passenger to complete the advance traveller information, truthfully, for the Immigration and Foreigners Directorate, the General Customs of the Republic and the Ministry of Public Health. The UK government says to complete it within 72 hours before entering Cuba, that you'll get a QR code by email to show on arrival, electronically or printed, and that airlines check completion of the form at check-in.
