Reisende, die sich am oder nach dem 12. Januar 2021 in Kuba eingereist sind oder dort aufgehalten haben, und mit einer ESTA-Genehmigung in die USA einreisen möchten, könnten KEIN ESTA mehr beantragen. Ein Non-Immigrant Visum wird vor der Abreise benötigt. Bitte beachten Sie hierzu alle wichtigen Informationen!
The U.S. Department of State designated Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (SST) on January 12, 2021.With limited exceptions, a traveler who is found to have visited Cuba on or after this date is not eligible for travel under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) using an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and must apply for a visa to travel to the United States. Additionally, a traveler who at the time of application for an ESTA holds dual nationality with both a VWP country and Cuba is not eligible for travel under the VWP using an ESTA and must apply for a visa to travel to the United States.
If an ESTA has already been approved and it is later determined that the traveler has been present in Cuba or holds dual nationality with both a VWP country and Cuba, the ESTA will be revoked. Ineligibility for an ESTA is not a bar to travel to the United States. Individuals who are not eligible to travel under the VWP may apply for a visa at any U.S. embassy or consulate.
