Can Americans Travel To Cuba?
Even though travel to Cuba for Americans is restricted, that doesn’t make it impossible to visit. For many years some intrepid Americans were traveling to Cuba anyway. Initially, there were three ways to accomplish this.
1. Special License
You could register for a special license with the US Government if the reason for your travel fit a certain category. These include family visits, professional reasons, journalism, religious or cultural programs, and humanitarian projects.
While you no longer need pre-approval for such a license, technically your visit should still match one of the categories to stay legal. Just in case someone in the US decides to ask later (which is rare).
