These licenses are self-executing, meaning individuals are not required to seek approval from OFAC to engage in the authorized activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for the Cuban People is one of the twelve General Licenses authorized by OFAC.

This license requires the traveler to engage in a full-time schedule of activities in Cuba that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foster closer connections with the Cuban people,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contribute to the development of Cuban civil society, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advocate for the independence of the Cuban people from the government; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Involve meaningful engagement and interaction with individuals in Cuba.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the traveler&#8217;s itinerary should not allow for excessive free time or recreational activities beyond what is compatible with the full-time schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this sounds fuzzy, right? And it is. But let\u2019s try to get into the details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-activities-that-qualify-for-the-support-for-the-cuban-people-license\">Activities that Qualify for the Support for the Cuban People License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The OFAC\u2019s regulation itself provides examples of activities that qualify for the Support for the Cuban People license:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Staying in a room at a rented accommodation in a private Cuban residence (casa particular), eating at privately-owned Cuban restaurants (paladares), and shopping at privately-owned stores run by self-employed Cubans (cuentapropista) are examples of activities that qualify for this general license.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, with so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourepublic.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-havana-cuba\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">things to do in Havana<\/a>, you will want to do more than just sleep, eat, and buy souvenirs. Here are examples of activities that fall under the Support for the Cuban People Category:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Renting bicycles to explore the streets of Havana and visit independent art galleries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking tours offered by privately owned businesses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participating in art exhibitions, music performances, dance workshops, or other cultural events involving Cuban artists, musicians, or performers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting privately-owned businesses on the island in any meaningful way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging in volunteer activities, such as working with local community organizations, assisting in social welfare programs, or supporting sustainable development initiatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meeting with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) representatives, independent media outlets, or grassroots community groups to learn about their work and provide support or assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that you must engage in an itinerary to promote independent activity to strengthen civil society in Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But will engaging in a few of these activities be enough to qualify my trip for the Support for the Cuban People license? Unfortunately, no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must have a full-time schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-what-is-a-full-time-schedule-according-to-ofac\">What is a Full-Time Schedule According to OFAC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OFAC won\u2019t say how many hours constitute a full-time schedule. Their definition of a full-time schedule is, in fact, pretty vague. They will only say that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The traveler&#8217;s schedule of activities should not include free time or recreation in excess of that consistent with a full-time schedule.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practical terms, the traveler should have a pre-planned itinerary with sufficient activities to occupy a significant portion of their time in Cuba. The activities should align with the purpose of the license, which is to support the Cuban people, promote independence, and enhance contact with local individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This requirement intends to ensure that the traveler&#8217;s visit to Cuba is purposeful and focused on meaningful interactions and support for the Cuban people rather than primarily for tourism or leisure. While some leisure time or recreational activities may be allowed within the schedule, they should not exceed what is considered reasonable and consistent with a full-time schedule of engaging activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding how many hours the schedule should have, we say that at least 6 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-activities-that-can-disqualify-your-trip-for-the-support-for-the-cuban-people-license\">Activities That Can Disqualify Your Trip for the Support for the Cuban People License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three things you must avoid when traveling to Cuba under the Support for the Cuban People license:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Engaging primarily in leisure activities (e.g., staying at a beach resort for a week).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staying at an accommodation on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/cuba-sanctions\/cuba-prohibited-accommodations-list\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List<\/a>. The CPA lists properties in Cuba owned or controlled by the Cuban government or the Cuban Communist Party.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchasing goods or services from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/cuba-sanctions\/cuba-restricted-list\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">entities associated with the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services<\/a>. The list includes specific ministries, holding companies, hotels, tourist agencies, marinas, stores, and other entities.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the lists of prohibited accommodations and entities before booking your trip because they are subject to change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-why-is-support-for-the-cuban-people-the-most-popular-license-for-us-travelers\">Why is Support for the Cuban People the Most Popular License for US Travelers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Support for the Cuban People is the only General License the average independent traveler can use. It also offers privileges that other licenses don\u2019t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flexibility: The &#8220;Support for the Cuban People&#8221; category provides a broad scope of activities travelers can engage in, allowing for greater flexibility and a wide range of options. This license enables individuals to participate in various cultural, educational, and humanitarian activities and support local businesses and civil society in Cuba.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural exchange: Many U.S. travelers are interested in experiencing the vibrant Cuban culture, interacting with the local population, and gaining a deeper understanding of the country&#8217;s history, traditions, and way of life. The &#8220;Support for the Cuban People&#8221; license encourages these cultural exchanges and facilitates meaningful connections with the Cuban people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Positive impact: Traveling under the &#8220;Support for the Cuban People&#8221; category allows U.S. visitors to contribute to Cuban society positively. By engaging with local communities, supporting private businesses, and participating in humanitarian projects, travelers can actively contribute to the economic and social development of the Cuban people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-do-you-need-to-keep-records-of-your-trip-to-cuba\">Do You Need to Keep Records of Your Trip to Cuba?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you must retain documentation of your trip to Cuba for five years, including receipts, itineraries, photos, or any other relevant record.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, please notice that the chance that an US official will ask you for this documentation is slim. In fact, we have never heard of it (which does not mean it can\u2019t happen to you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-do-you-need-a-sponsoring-organization-under-the-support-for-the-cuban-people-license\">Do You Need a Sponsoring Organization Under the Support for the Cuban People License?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what many travel agencies to Cuba say, you don\u2019t actually need a sponsoring organization to travel to Cuba under the Support for the Cuban People license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A travel company to Cuba can indeed help arrange an itinerary that complies with the Support for the Cuban People license, but it\u2019s not a legal requirement. In fact, the sole responsibility of complying with the US law will fall on the traveler, not the travel company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-steps-to-travel-to-cuba-using-the-support-for-the-cuban-people-license\">Steps to Travel to Cuba Using the Support for the Cuban People License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Cuba under the Support for the Cuban People license is a little more complicated than your average trip to somewhere else.
