In Havana Gardens we have trained and responsible professionals to advise you and help you in the procedures of the Cuban passport, either to request it for the first time or to renew it, so that you can travel to Cuba and be close to your loved ones.
If you need to process your Cuban passport, because you have never had it or for loss, you have to know that the value of the procedure is currently $ 420 and is valid for 6 years. You must also take into account the costs of the extensions of the Cuban passport, which must be made every two years.

The Cuban passport is valid for 6 years. However, the Cuban authorities require an extension of it every two years.
The procedure is unavoidable although it is simpler than the processing of the Cuban passport for the first time. The extension has a cost of $ 205.
