Visas and entry

The paperwork, settled for you.

Being turned back at a border is the one travel mistake nobody can fix afterwards. Tell us the passport and we confirm what it needs against the destination’s own consulate, in writing, before you are asked to pay for anything.

How we work

Four things we will not do.

Entry rules change, they differ by passport, and a table on a website goes stale without anyone noticing. So this page is built around what stays true.

We will not guess your requirements

Tell us the passport and the dates and we tell you exactly what you need. A guess costs a flight.

We will not publish a table by nationality

It would be wrong within a season and right-looking for years. What is written here is destination level and stable.

We will not sell what you do not need

Our fee is on this page, and the search tells you whether your passport needs the document at all before you pay for it.

We will not promise what we cannot arrange

Where a requirement is outside what we can handle we say so plainly and tell you who does handle it.

Cuba

The Cuba e-Visa, filed for you with your booking.

In 2025 Cuba replaced the paper tourist card with an e-Visa, and most visitors now need one rather than a consular visa. We file it online against your booking, complete your D’Viajeros arrival declaration too, and send both before you fly. Whether your own passport needs it depends on your nationality, and the search above tells you.

  • Issued against your booking, not applied for separately
  • Sent to you before you fly, not collected on arrival
  • Whether your passport needs one is confirmed in writing first
By destination

What each country actually asks for.

Everything below applies to the destination rather than to a particular passport, which is why it can be written down without going out of date.

Cuba

Cuba is the strictest of these destinations on paper: an e-Visa and medical cover are both checked, and neither can be sorted out on arrival.

Cuba e-Visa
Most visitors need one rather than a consular visa. We file it with your booking, complete your D’Viajeros arrival declaration too, and send both before departure.We arrange this
Travel medical insurance
Cuba requires cover that is valid in the country, and it can be asked for at the border. A policy that excludes Cuba is the common failure.We arrange this
A passport with room left on it
Airlines routinely refuse boarding on a passport close to expiry. Check the date before you book, not the week before you fly.You arrange this
Your return or onward ticket
Proof of onward travel is part of the standard entry check.You arrange this
Your own passport
Most passports need the e-Visa. A few need nothing at all, and a few must apply for a visa at a Cuban consulate; the visa search above tells you which applies to yours.

Mexico

Mexico lets many passports in for tourism without a visa, among them the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Many others need one, so the passport you travel on decides it.

An entry record
Issued on arrival. Keep whatever you are given until you leave, because it is asked for on departure.You arrange this
A passport with room left on it
Same rule as anywhere: check the expiry date before you book.You arrange this
Travel medical insurance
Not required to enter, and still the thing you will wish you had. Private care is the norm for visitors.We arrange this
Your own passport
Many passports need a Mexican visa, among them those of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, China, India, Türkiye, Ukraine and Russia. A valid US, Canadian, UK, Japanese or Schengen visa, or residence in one of those countries or in Chile, Colombia or Peru, lets you enter without one.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is straightforward for most passports on a short tourist stay, with one form to fill in online before you travel.

The e-Ticket form
Every traveller completes the free e-Ticket form online before arriving and again before leaving, and shows the QR code it gives. We remind you before you fly.You arrange this
A passport with room left on it
Check the expiry date before you book.You arrange this
Your return or onward ticket
Part of the standard entry check.You arrange this
Travel medical insurance
Not required to enter, and worth holding for a stay on the coast or in the mountains.We arrange this
Your own passport
Most passports enter for a short tourist stay without a visa, on the tourist card included in the air fare. Some, among them China, India, Cuba and Venezuela, need a visa unless they hold a valid US, Canadian, UK or Schengen visa or residence. If you are unsure about yours, check with us before you book.

Argentina

Argentina is straightforward for many passports travelling for tourism, the US, Canada, the UK, the European Union and most of Latin America among them.

A passport with room left on it
Check the expiry date before you book.You arrange this
Your return or onward ticket
Part of the standard entry check.You arrange this
Travel medical insurance
Not required to enter. Worth holding anyway on a route that runs to Patagonia and altitude.We arrange this
Your own passport
Many passports need no visa; others do, and some can travel on an electronic authorisation against a valid US visa. If yours is not one you know to be visa-free, check with us before you book.

The destination’s own consulate is the only authority on who it lets in. Tell us your passport and your dates and we will advise you on what you need, and tell you when something is outside what we can arrange.

Who does what

So nobody assumes the other one is handling it.

Heyo Travel
Confirm what your passport needs, against the destination’s consulate, in writing.
Heyo Travel
File the Cuba e-Visa and the D’Viajeros declaration with your booking and send them before departure.
Heyo Travel
Coordinate medical cover that is valid where you are going.
You
Hold a passport with enough validity left on it. Check the date when you book.
You
Carry your return or onward ticket, which is part of the standard entry check.
You
Read your own policy for what it excludes, because we cannot read it for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a visa for Cuba?

Most visitors need a Cuba e-Visa rather than a consular visa, and we file it with your booking, together with your D’Viajeros declaration. Whether your passport needs one depends on your nationality, and the search above tells you.

What does it cost?

Our fee is $80 per applicant for the Cuba e-Visa, and $35 per applicant for the Mexico visa, which we file for Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian passports. The official fee is included, so there is nothing more to pay. Most passports enter Mexico for tourism without a visa, so the search tells you first whether you need one at all.

What if I hold two passports?

Tell us both. Which one you travel on can change what you need and occasionally which route is simpler, and it is a question worth asking early rather than at check-in.

Is my passport valid long enough?

Check the expiry date when you book rather than when you pack. Airlines refuse boarding on a passport close to expiry routinely, before you get anywhere near a border, and that is a decision we cannot appeal.

Ready when you are

Tell us the passport and the dates.

The search tells you whether you need a document and what ours costs. You pay when you apply, and we file it for you.
